A Homebridge plugin that connects Home Connect appliances to Apple HomeKit.

Installation

$3

1. Connect your home appliances with Home Connect:
1. Install Home Connect from the Apple App Store for your country (e.g. UK or USA).
1. Create an account using your email address, click on the validation link in the email that will be received, and then return to the app and login.
1. Connect the appliances to your home network, either via the app or using Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS).
1. Connect the appliances to the app (by following the installation guide provided with the appliance).
1. If you are using a legacy Home Connect account then also create a SingleKey ID using the same email address, ensuring that it is all in lowercase. Verify that the SingleKey ID works in the Home Connect app.

$3

1. Sign-up for a free Home Connect Developer Program account and login.
1. Register a new application, ensuring that
OAuth Flow* is set to Device Flow
Home Connect User Account for Testing* is the same as the SingleKey ID email address
Redirect URI* is left blank
Enable One Time Token Mode* is not ticked
Sync to China* is ticked if you are located within China, otherwise leave it not ticked
1. If the application is subsequently edited then additionally ensure that:
Forces the usage of PKCE* is not ticked
Status* is Enabled
Client Secret Always Required* is No
1. Copy and save the displayed Client ID; it will be required to configure this plugin.
1. Wait 15 minutes for changes to the application to be deployed to the Home Connect authorisation servers.

$3

#### Recommended approach using Homebridge UI

1. On the Homebridge UI Plugins page search for and install the HomeConnect plugin.
1. Open the HomeConnect plugin settings and set the Client ID to the value obtained from the Home Connect Developer Program for the created Device Flow application.
1. If you are located within China then set the Server Location to China, otherwise leave it as Worldwide.
1. Click on the AUTHORISE button to open a new Home Connect browser window. Login to your Home Connect account and approve access.
1. Save the plugin settings and restart Homebridge.

Alternative method using command line

#### Installation using Command Line

1. Install this plugin using: npm install -g homebridge-homeconnect
1. Edit config.json and add the HomeConnect platform (see example below).
1. Run (or restart) Homebridge.
1. The Homebridge log output will include an authorisation URL. Copy the listed URL into a web browser, login to your Home Connect account, and approve access.

#### Example config.json
``JSON { "platforms": [{ "platform": "HomeConnect", "clientid": "0123456789ABCDEF0123456789ABCDEF0123456789ABCDEF0123456789ABCDEF" }] }`Theclientidshould be set to the Client ID obtained from the Home Connect Developer Program for the created Device Flow application.

Additional configuration is recommended to customise the appliance programs, and to select optional features. The easiest way to configure this plugin is via the Homebridge UI configuration editor. This plugin implements a custom user interface that dynamically updates with the appropriate options for the connected appliances. Manual configuration via the config.json file is possible, but not recommended.

`Appliance Support`

This plugin supports most capabilities of the Home Connect API that can be sensibly mapped to Apple-defined HomeKit services and characteristics. More details can be found in the functionality summary.

Apple's Home app does not support all of the features of this plugin. Some third-party HomeKit apps are recommended due to their extra functionality.
