1 Door (with multi channel device)
- channel 0 connected to the 'open' motor and
- channel 1 connected to the 'close' motor
When fully opening/closing the door, the plugin will turn the appropriate channel ON for the duration of the specified operationTime
and then turn the channel OFF. When opening/closing the door to a custom position (e.g. 50% open) then the plugin will calculate the time that the channels need to be ON based on the operationTime
.
The operationTime
is defined in deciseconds so time how long it takes to open/close the door and multiply this by ten.
Since it is impossible for the device to report the correct position of the door to Homebridge, the plugin relies on a cached state which changes each time the door is opened/closed. There may be times when this becomes out of sync. If this happens, please make sure the door is fully closed, then remove the accessory from the Homebridge cache. The accessory will be added again with a CLOSED status which will match the door.
A configuration example:
[
{
"deviceId": "10009553c8",
"type": "door",
"operationTime": 50
}
]
- If using the Homebridge UI, it's easier to use the plugin settings screen to configure the simulation
- If using the HOOBS UI, copy and paste the example above into the 'Groups' box on the plugin settings screen
- If manually editing the config JSON, don't forget to change the first line to
"groups": [
