Integrate your V-ZUG appliances into Apple HomeKit using this Homebridge plugin, which currently supports status monitoring via an unofficial REST API. This plugin provides a HomeKit switch to reflect the operational status of your V-ZUG appliance, allowing you to check if the device is active.
- Status Monitoring: Exposes the operational status of your V-ZUG appliances as a switch in HomeKit, showing if the device is active.
- Install Homebridge:
npm install -g homebridge
- Install the V-ZUG Plugin:
npm install -g homebridge-vzug
Add your V-ZUG appliances to your Homebridge config.json:
{
"platform": "homebridge-vzug",
"devices": [
{
"name": "DEVICE_NAME",
"ip": "DEVICE_IP_ADDRESS"
}
]
}{
"platform": "homebridge-vzug",
"devices": [
{
"name": "Oven",
"ip": "192.168.1.10"
},
{
"name": "Chef's Secret",
"ip": "192.168.1.11"
}
]
}- Currently tested with:
- V-Zug CombairSteamer V6000 60Y
- V-Zug CombairSteamer V6000 45F
The plugin will automatically find the Model and Serial Number of your Device and populate the relevant fields for HomeKit
This is my first Homebridge plugin, primarily aimed at status monitoring for V-ZUG appliances. It's pretty basic – mainly showing the on/off status. Since it's my initial release, there might be some room for improvement. I'm open to feedback and suggestions!
Regarding future updates, I plan to enhance the plugin as time allows, potentially adding new features based on the community's input and any additional API information I come across. Your thoughts and contributions are always welcome!
- Your contributions and feedback are welcome! Please consider contributing if you have access to more API info or different V-ZUG devices.
- Report issues or suggest enhancements on the GitHub issues page.
