Home Kit

Follow the below instuctions to setup diyHue to work with Home Kit

1. Install homebridge

2. Install homebridge-hue

3. Prepare config.json for homebridge with an intial homebridge-hue plugin setup (need to be modified after the first run, see next step):

   config.json initial:
   {
       "bridge": {
           "name": "HB_Diy_Hue",
           "username": "mac-address homebridge",
           "port": 51838,
           "pin": "whatyouwant"
       },
       "accessories": [],
       "platforms": [
           {
               "platform": "Hue",
               "users": {
                   "": ""
               },
               "hosts": "put_here_the_ip_diyhue_bridge",
               "sensors": false,
               "nativeHomeKitSensors": true,
               "nativeHomeKitLights": false,
               "excludeSensorTypes": ["Daylight", "CLIP", "Geofence"],
               "lights": true
           }
       ]
   }
   

4. Run home bridge for the first time (not via service). Run sudo homebridge -U /<path that contains config.json> (showed before), in my example:

   sudo homebridge -U /home/pi/.homediyhue
   
   [2/3/2019, 9:24:33 AM] [Hue] RpiHue: HA-Bridge v1810251352, api v1.24.0
   [2/3/2019, 9:24:33 AM] [Hue] RpiHue: bridge request 2: post / {"devicetype":"homebridge-hue#raspberrypi"}
   [2/3/2019, 9:24:33 AM] [Hue] RpiHue: bridge error 101: link button not pressed
   [2/3/2019, 9:24:33 AM] [Hue] RpiHue: press link button on the bridge to create a user
   

5. Go to diyhue webpage and simulate the link button pressed (http://{IP_ADDRESS}/hue/linkbutton):

   [2/3/2019, 9:24:48 AM] [Hue] RpiHue: created user - please edit config.json and restart homebridge
   "platforms": [
       {
           "platform": "Hue",
           "users": {
               "B827EBFFFE959284": "470a0c52e89555f73b11904c84af6192"
           }
       }
   ]
   

6. Stop homebridge

7. Edit config.json with this user

8. Start homebridge (via service or manually):
