Simulate a temperature and humidity sensor from file
npm install homebridge-temperature-humidity-sensor-fileThis is a plugin for homebridge which makes it possible to create a temperature and humidity
sensor in HomeKit via file.
When you have a DHT-sensor, you need sudo to read from it. I don't want to run homebridge as sudo, so I'm having a cronjob,
which writes every n seconds to a file and read from it from homebridge.
