1. Keep it civil and safe for work
Be nice and civil. As Reddiquette says, "Remember the human," and "Don't be rude at all." Harassment could get you banned from r/homebridge the first time depending on the severity, (Don't try to test the mods) or the second time, almost always no matter what. This means you've chosen to break the rules. Rudeness will get you banned (7 days on average) when repeated, and incivility will also get you banned when repeated.
2. No Amazon affiliate and/or referral links; No spam
No Amazon affiliate links and also no referral links that 'refer' you to Amazon affiliate links. An example of an Amazon affiliate link is amzn.to. These are automatically removed and using one could result in a permaban based on your previous post and comment history.

Hi, was wondering if anyone could recommend a way to expose Yale Keyless to HK? Managed to get hold of Z-wave module but not sure what to do next.
I switched to the Leap plugin from the Pico one and I am adding some new remotes to my setup. I would like to control a dimmable light on a HomeKit ceiling fan with one. I know that I can assign scenes to a button or assign a specific brightness setting to a button but I wonder if it’s possible to use the up/down buttons on the 5 button remote to move incrementally up and down like a dimmer. Likewise, I would like to do to this with Sonos in HomeKit using an audio remote and raise and lower the volume. If I do it in HomeKit vs the Sonos app, I can actually play an Apple Music Atmos playlist and it will come through in Atmos in Lossless - I don’t think that’s possible using the Sonos control.
I have almost exclusively Hue Lights but do have a few INNR bulbs connected to the Hue hub that I bring into HomeKit with the HomeBridge Hue Plugin. I’d like to buy some cheaper Govee floor lights as they’re a third of the price of the Hue equivalent however we mostly use Hue Tap Dials around our house to set scenes and the dimmer to control brightness. Is there anyway to control the Govee lights with a tap dial?
I had the "Homebridge Nest Cam" plugin configured and working, until one day I realized I no longer was able to see the cameras in the Apple Home app.
I've gone through the set up steps again in the github to no avail., I keep getting the same error:
Access token acquisition via googleAuth failed (code EAI_AGAIN)
I've tried using different browsers, private mode, clearing cache....nothing works.
Any ideas?
Hi, is there a plugin to add Bluetooth speakers to HomeKit?
Hi, I have Philips hue lights and want to sync them with my Apple TV. It’s connected to my 8k Samsung and q990c soundbar . Any chance to get this done ? Or any recommendations for other lights to make ambientlights for Apple TV ? I bought hue sync box but it not working with 4k120hz and Dolby atmos :(
Through HB I added my devices into Apple home . Though those devices could be easily controlled through my iPhone, iPad and Mac but when it comes to Apple Watch no accessories are available on that . What’s the reason
I just purchased an outdoor fan/light for my backyard and thought it would be controlled by IR or RF. Manufacturer says it’s Bluetooth controlled. How can I control it HomeKit? I’m running HomeBridge on a Raspberry Pi 4. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Hello all,
I am unable to login in to ring when trying to generate a new refresh token. Ring plugin v12.1.0 and node v18.13.0
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
I have a Yale hub, some PIR sensors and a few door sensors. I don’t have a Yale lock or anything like that. Is there a homebridge plugin to connect my Yale app and these accessories to Apple HomeKit because I’m struggling to find one. Thank you
How would you go about resetting password on node.js? I am also quite new to this and I am running homebridge through windows.
i have found the auth.json file and delete it. but still cant login in with admin/admin . i have also restarted the homebridge in cmd node
Is it possible to run Homebridge and Scrypted simultaneously on the same HomeKit instance, utilizing Scrypted for Ring HomeKit Secure Video and Homebridge for other functions, without encountering any issues? Thank you in advance.
I have 2 doorbells through the Ring/homebrige setup however I no longer can find the option in the Ring code to trigger a doorbell push event so that it will show the person's image on Apple TV. Evidently this feature has either been removed or relocated. When I tried HKSV with scrypted it ate through my wired cam to the point of 0.00 battery. Any suggestions? TIA
After moving Cameras to Chime pro network, Hombridge is failing with:
[4/17/2024, 10:24:24 PM] [Ring] Session hardware_id not found. Creating a new session and trying again.
[4/17/2024, 10:24:24 PM] [Ring] 404 from endpoint https://api.ring.com/clients_api/doorbots/475745350/motions_subscribe
is there a way to use Tailscale or other to allow remote access of Home app without the need for Apple homepod mini or Apple TV acting as a bridge?
thanks brains!
I’ve tried smart bulbs made by Tuya, TP-Link and Wiz. Of course, all of these brands work fine with Homebridge, but I have had the best experience with the bulbs from Wiz.
I wondered if there was any consensus on everyone’s favorite inexpensive lightbulbs to use with Homebridge?
I set up a bunch of stuff recently and seemingly dont remember my Homebridge password. There's plenty of info on deleting a file ~/.homebridge/auth.json
However, I have no idea where to find that. I installed Homebridge on a VM using Hyper V. Im not sure where that file would be located / how to get to it to delete it! Any suggestions? Thanks!
Hey guys, I am struggling to get my Reolink RLN-410 to work properly with Homebridge. It shows the snap shot but I can never actually view the stream from Homekit. I have been able to add it through Scrypted but I have to force encoding and it looks pretty awful at best.
Curious if any of you have had some success with it? :)
Wondering if there is any known way to get HomeKit control of Rently devices - mainly the smart locks.
I have both L920 and L930 light strips from Tapo to The L930 aldready supports HomeKit but for the other one does not how do I?
Has anyone had success getting this into HomeBridge to view in Home app? Are you able to use HKSV as well? Currently using the Eve Outdoor Cam and its a POS that doesn't work. https://us.eufy.com/products/t84a1111?currency=USD&variant=42230282846394&stkn=5d5a475ac03b&utm_source=google&utm_medium=Pmax&utm_content=alwayson&utm_campaign=us_security_edge_conversion_search_pmax_purchase_ost_M3_highroas&utm_term=19873407993__&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwoPOwBhAeEiwAJuXRh4TIhXaW8wkhS3YSuE4AUSURpkmmo-K6S9YViWED3-KDkIsbGOr_FhoCowAQAvD_BwE
I'm getting Invalid Username or Password when trying to login to home bridge any help is appreciated ?
Is there any FW Matter for ESP32 that can config a virtual device that can both add it to HomeKit and to Tuya? Tasmota cannot be added to Tuya.
Thanks.
i was looking to buy a sonoff DIY smart switch but don’t know which one to get since im a noob with this stuff so here’s my electric box for my two switches
also not sure if i have a neutral wire or not but i think not. i would like to be able to control them from both switches and app.
As the title says, I am so frustrated trying to simply turn on/off my Frame TV. Each time I setup the plugin from scratch, I can reliably control the power but after just a day or two, it loses sync and never can regain control.
Is there any other option for turning a Frame TV on/off?
Hi there! I am basically looking for an outdoor button to use as a doorbell. Apparently this is not easy as there aren’t many products out there. It must be wired and water proof. So I thought it might be easier to get a normal button from the store and the two wires from it will be connected to a sensor which measures if the two contacts are closed. This then sends out a Zigbee message for example or finds some other way to get I to my homebridge. What’s out there? What could I use?
Hello. I'm trying to set up this plugin, but the documentation is a little light for me. It wants me to add this...
"clientKey": "<Sonos API client key>",
"clientSecret": "<Sonos API client secret>",
"refreshToken": "<Sonos API refresh token>"
...to my config file. I've deduced that this requires me to sign up at integration.sonos.com. There I can generate credentials with three fields: Name, Key and Secret. These don't map to what the plugin wants above, though.
Can anyone walk me through it? And do I need to use the same email login on the site linked above as I use to control my Sonos system (to log into the app)? This site and the main Sonos site seem distinct, so I had to create a new account to get into the above site.
Hi, i have been using Homebridge-broadlink-rm-tv by AlexanderBabel for couple of years and when i started using i modified it a lot to make it work for me. Then kiwi-cam rm-pr version came along and i started using that too but the issue was some of the accessories i was using were only supported by the modifications i made to rm-tv version, been using it for many years now. The issue is that Homebridge just keeps running in the background and i never cared to look at it or make any upgrades to it and now im seeing these undefined errors in the log for many months and thinking to get rid of them. Can anyone help me with it? I tried to access the link in it but couldn't really understand. Thanks in advance
i got many of this in log
4/14/2024, 7:04:22 AM] [TaHoma] Polling error - Error 401 Not authenticated (RESOURCE_ACCESS_DENIED)
maybe someone can help me with that ?
So I wanted to see what homebridge was all about, and i installed it on my MacBook pro. Every device worked great running through my laptop, so I decided to buy a Raspberry Pi to have a dedicated device for Homebridge. I got it up and running today, and all devices show up in my Home app, but when using voice commands on my homepod mini, i get the response “ok mhatrick, sorry, something went wrong”.
The devices all work fine in the homebridge dashboard, and they all work fine if I use the home app, just voice commands through HomePod don’t work. Interestingly, voice commands from my phone work, and (1) smart plug works as expected through the HomePod. Another interesting point is if i tell my ”*insert room name* on/off”, everything works as expected, but when i try to specify a device, it does not work. I’ve been playing around with naming on devices, and it seems like it’s something going on there. If i rename the device to something new, it seems to work
Any ideas on how to get this stuff working with original names? I can rename things, but i feel like everything is already named appropriately, and the new names would be unintuitive. Not sure why just my smart plug works with its original name, and nothing else? The inconsistencies are strange. Any help is appreciated
