Homebridge: Flic + HomeKit

[david]

G'day Guys,

Using the new HCI SDK, I've built a Flic plugin for Homebridge.

Homebridge is NodeJS platform that allows HomeKit integration of existing devices.

https://www.npmjs.com/package/homebridge
https://www.npmjs.com/package/homebridge-flic

This allows you to write conditional HomeKit triggers to make your Flic buttons do different things depending on different scenarios.

Cheers,

David

Anyone got a solution for the Flic Hub + Homebridge?

Here's a great guide that worked for me - https://github.com/devbobo/homebridge-flic/wiki/Adding-a-new-Flic-button-to-Homebridge

Basically:

1. Install homebridge on a system (Mac, PC, Pi)
2. Install flicd https://github.com/50ButtonsEach/fliclib-linux-hci/issues/39
3. Install homebridge-flic
4. Ensure youre flics are unpaired (Unpair, Hold for 10 seconds if needed) and ensure you have the right bluetooth drivers that are compatible; for raspberry pi you will need to run
5. Install Hesperus (Free), this will help you add the flic button to homekit
