HomeKit support for the Plejd BLE platform using Homebridge
$3
I'm running this in docker-compose on a Raspberry PI 4b 8gb.
Raspberry pi is running Debian Bullseye (Raspberry Pi OS) with docker and docker compose installed, nothing extra.
``yml`
homebridge:
image: oznu/homebridge:latest
restart: unless-stopped
network_mode: host
privileged: true
volumes:
- /home/pi/.homebridge:/homebridge
logging:
driver: json-file
options:
max-size: "10mb"
max-file: "1"
This is tested on a raspberry pi 3b+ & 4b using DIM-02 and DIM-01. Please let me know if there's any issues with other units. Feel free to poke around.
`bash``
sudo apt-get install bluetooth bluez libbluetooth-dev libudev-dev
Check out ble lib @abandonware/Noble for you specific platform
Use Plejd Login information (username, password, site) to let the addon take care of getting token.
Another alternative is to list the crypto key and devices manually.
If you choose to use both, the devices will be updated according yo what you set them to in the config list.
Check the logs on start up if you'd like to remove the login info after it's been used.
Device info can be found like this!
I'm maintaining this plugin on my spare time and I use it daily. Though I do not have much time due to children and life. Feel free to help out in any way.
This plugin lacks testing for multiple platforms. Feel free to test on your system. The main dependency @abandonware/Noble is your guide in case of your separate system. Usually BLE is the problem.
Feel free to open a ticket if you can't get it working.
The underlying protocol is relying on the BLE address to be exposed. This is not available on mac, meaning this app won't work on mac for now. There might be workarounds for this.
I do not own all hardware from Plejd, this means I have not been able to make sure that it all works. However, feel free to add a PR. I'd like to add switches and sensors, this is not yet available as I do not own any of these.
I would like to add support for items like WMS-01 and TRM-01 in the future.
Big thanks to:
