Thanks y’all!

I'm going to have fun with this....cool.

[@LA-Creative]

So cool! When you ssh into the Pi do you have to cd into a specific place to install?

Nice video. I installed the homebridge RPi plugin version 1.3.7, the button works perfectly but the led on gpio 15 is not listening. No error in my wiring. Any idea why?

Asking out of curious, can I use one raspberry pi to do a complete home kit accessories?

How would I adapt your instructions if I have HOOBS installed?

[@thomasbendixen438]

This was a great guide, thank you so much! I was able to get a led light on a fan to be a part of my homekit. After a day, I turned off my pi's to do something in the cluster case they are in. After turning the pi's back on, I realized that the setting for the remote GPIO in raspi-config was back to the default of off. Is there a way to make this persist during reboot. I am unable to find any insight as to what I could put in cmdline.txt or config.txt. Any ideas?

Would be great if this can be used on a Pico. Unfortunately pigpio is unavailable there afaik. So if you have any other thoughts on how to get this running on a pico, let me know.

How could I create multiple buttons to trigger different scenes? I'm have my RPI in my studio and I would like to just push a button to run a scene in Homekit/bridge. I have 4 scenes, on/off, presenting mode and only 2 of 4 bulbs.

agora vou mais longe

[@bonk841]

Can i use that plugin with homebridge that is in the pi os itself?

[@harrymcgill6291]

Yes you can I have just don’t it

[@NicoMoessmer]

you need a home pod or something else so the button can work or is there a workaround?

[@SpaceRexWill]

If you want the button to work when you are not home (don’t have an iPhone home) then yes. But if you have a iPhone on the network it should still just work

[@NicoMoessmer]

@@SpaceRexWill the buttonin homekit says i need a control center to work, i cant even set a function to the button

[@johannesarle3314]

​@@NicoMoessmer You have to use your Iphone/Ipad as control center. Go to settings -> Home and activate the function.

[@NicoMoessmer]

@@johannesarle3314 what phone to i need to do that? i have an iphone 8 and i dont have home in the settings

[@johannesarle3314]

@@NicoMoessmer Do you have the app Home?

[@milanvlemincx1690]

If my laptop isn’t turned on, is it normal that the homebridge doesn’t work?

[@SpaceRexWill]

Yes. You need to have the bridge activated to talk to the devices

[@otisdecort147]

@@SpaceRexWill What you can do is use another raspberry pi to install homebridge on, they now have an Official Homebridge Raspberry Pi Image
