Version 0.3.0 is in alpha testing state about homebridge-knx HOT 10 CLOSED

Some changes:

• config file is now separated from config.json: it's surprisingly called knx_config.json and belongs in the same directory.
• the config file is written to: homebridge-knx writes UUID and subclass fields that must not be changed
• the syntax has changed: see https://github.com/snowdd1/homebridge-knx/tree/plugin-2.0#knx_configjson

And the best: it is now possible to write small simple add-ins to change service behaviour. More to come!

from homebridge-knx.

More flexibility:

You can now add any characteristic to any service. As long as it doesn't break Homekit, it is possible. There is no fixed characteristics list any more.

That comes at a price of course: Some of the prepared services of version 0.2 had implicit logical mappings. They're gone of course.

So we need little add-ins for special mappings (see the example!)

Hi Raoul,

it looks very interesting. I should have time tomorrow to try a first install and give feedback.

Thanks for your work.

Hi Raoul,

I have the new version installed and created a knx_config.json with a window cover (Rolladen) and a light. Homebridge starts and seems to work. When I get home I will try it out

I have a excel file where I build the json and can refine the formulas for the json. I will updating the formulas following any changes from you and can upload it here ?

Hi Raoul,

sorry
Mal auf Deutsch :-). Ich hatte eine Exceldatei angehängt mit Blättern für das Erstellen der JSON aus den verschiedenen KNX Objekten. Das ist nur ein erster Entwurf und kann auch für alle anderen die Testen eine Basis sein. Eigentlich kann man die Adressen in den verschiedenen Blättern ändern, die Formeln nach unten ziehen etc. Dann kommt auf dem ersten Blatt in A1 das komplette JSON für die Config raus. Das ganze ist halt auch erst Alpha und ich passe die Formeln dann an.

Viele Grüße,

Peter

And now to the first test: Homebridge starts on my Mac but I get a timeout with the new plugin while pairing my iPhone with it. Before I installed the alpha I was able to pair. I had no more time but will try further the next days.

Hi Raoul,

I have it working with 3 GAs ok. Will do more later.

Great! Any idea what the pairing issue was?

I think one of the other plugins I was testing. I removed all other plugins.
