homebridge-rpi-chacon
Chacon/DIO RF433 switches support for homebridge running on a raspberry pi. This plugin uses extensively the WiringPi lib to communicate with GPIO ports of the raspberry. This plugin is compatible with RF433 emitter wired to the Raspberry.

How to use
Configuration
Here's how to configure a set of switches :
"accessories": [
{
"accessory": "Chacon",
"name": "Switch1",
"deviceId": 1,
"emitterId": 12325261
},
{
"accessory": "Chacon",
"name": "Switch2",
"deviceId": 2,
"emitterId": 12325261,
"dimmable": true
},
{
"accessory": "Chacon",
"name": "Switch3",
"deviceId": 3,
"emitterId": 12325261,
"invert": "true"
}
]
Each accessory have a unique deviceId that is transmitted during the learning process, the emitterId bounds a switch to that emitter, a switch can have multiple emitter associated (a remote control).
Options :
- dimmable : register the switch as dimmable lightbulb
- invert : invert the state of switch (turn on -> off, turn off -> on), this configuration is used in case of electric heater setup (see: http://www.planete-domotique.com/blog/2012/01/05/piloter-un-radiateur-grace-a-son-fil-pilote/)
Learning process
The learning process is actually the same as described in the guide of the switch seller. A 'on' code has to be sent to the switch during the learning process initialization.
