A HomeBridge Plugin making the Applied Sensors iAM USB air quality sensor availible in HomeKit.

For use on an Ubuntu/Debian style Linux:

Create /etc/udev/rules.d/23-homebridge.rules and put in the following line, where you replace homebridge with the group of the user running homebridge on your system (e.g. pi on a raspian):

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="03eb", ATTR{idProduct}=="2013", GROUP="homebridge", MODE="0664"

Afterwards reload the rules with udevadm control --reload and replug the USB plug of your USB device.

Configured as part of your homebridge configuration.

• name: Required, String; You need to configure the name of your accessory.

In addition to this you need to connect the device to your machine running homebridge.
