I run a Homebridge / Homekit ecosystem at home but have always been curious about leveraging Node-RED to handle more complex automations.
Does anyone have any recommendations and/or recommended reading on putting these two together?
- rcarmo 5y agoI have a setup with homebridge, zigbee2mqtt, z2m (for better glue between both) and Node-RED, and a few write-ups here: https://taoofmac.com/space/blog/2019/01/13/1900 https://taoofmac.com/space/blog/2019/01/13/1900 Essentially you can use Node-RED to either act as another HomeKit bridge or to handle MQTT events from homebridge itself (I chose the latter). You can easily "fake" and inject new accessories into homebridge via the homebridge-mqtt plugin (which allows you to dynamically add accessories and "see" them in MQTT).
- darkteflon 5y agoExcellent, thank you very much for taking the time - much appreciated.
