About Homebridge for RaspberryPi

Finally it's here and the only one in the entire AppStore - Homebridge App!

With Homebridge you can easily and cheap turn your entire home into a futuristic smart home. Everything is controlled by you and your iPhone while Homerbidge works as a bridge between Apple's HomeKit on your iPhone / iPad and your devices like your TV, light, game console, jalousies, and and and.

All you need is a tiny and cheap PC called "RaspberryPi" - But don't worry this App will support you with supported projects and a bunch of software, which will be installed by this App, so you will be guided and don't need any deep PC-nerd-experinces.

With the great Homebridge-App you'll have fun to:
• Setup your brand new RaspberryPi (1, 2, 3, 3+ and Zero) with our preconfigured version of the open source installer "NOOBS".
• Install and setup all relevant software on your RaspberryPi with just a single tap on the App
• Automatically configure your RaspberryPi's WiFi, etc.
• Install amazing Plug-Ins for Homebridge from our tiny Plug-In store
• Coming soon: Follow awesome Homebridge-Projects, supported with shopping-lists and 1-click-installations and setup

Control. Your. Pi.
• Reboot your Pi
• Restart Homebridge
• Update all required software components (OS, Node, NPM, Homebridge, Plugins, etc.)
• Easily manage your Wifi-networks
• View all Homebridge-PlugIns (NPM) at a glance
• View all Homebridge error- and system-logs.
• Debug-Mode: Homebridge is not working, also after using our famous Auto-Repair function? Run Homebridge in the debugger to quickly determine, where the problem is.
• Networkscanner to easily find and identify your devices
• Create backups of your settings and configurations
• Fallback: Enjoy a build in SSH-Terminal, if you like.

Easy Setup plugins
First of all, you can add every NPM plugin you like using the Homebridge App and a graphical and easy to use generic interface. However we've prepared a nice and shiny specialized interface for the most popular and important plugins including:
• Fritz!
• WeMo
• Wake on LAN
• Domoticz
• HarmonyHub
• HomeAssistant
• HomeMatic
• Hue
• LiFx
• People (Wifi device trigger)
• Relay
• Remote Outlet
• Sonos
• Synology
• Telldus
• Tradfri

Let's get nerdy:
Each member of our developer team loves the RaspberryPi with all varieties.
But sometimes it's very exhausting and frustrating to set up the whole software and keep track everything is running, so we build this amazing App!

What we do for you:
• setup your brand new RaspberryPi or connect to your existing one
• setup Homebridge incl. service, configuration and all kind of plugins available with NPM
• manage your SystemCtl or init.d service
• edit your config.json graphically just from the App without any terminal, etc., also for not supported plugins and platforms
• keep track of your Pi, the homebridge-service, homebridge-pin, homebridge-logs, etc. so everything is just working and can be restarted / repaired if necessary
coming soon: connect your Pi to the HomeKit

Homebridge on a Mac
There are already users, which are using this App with a Homebridge server running on a Mac. However we strongly recommend using the App with a RaspberryPi (1, 2, 3, Zero) and do not support servers, running on other machines including the Mac.


We need your help!
Did you see awesome Homebridge-Pi projects or Homebride-plug-ins, we should implement in our App for easy setup? Just text us to:

3.0.3
Apr 18, 2018
In this update we have build in the RaspberryPi 3+ support and implemented a great new plugin for you, as well as some bug fixes based on your feedback.

New: camera-ffmpeg
We have tested the plugin as well as all required additional software and configuration options for you for more than two months now and would like to make it available to you in this update.
With the plugin you can turn your cheap RaspberryPi camera into a HomeKit camera and save several hundred Euros. In our test we got for only $25 a Full HD HomeKit camera with very smooth 30 fps and very good night vision (!), which is accessible by HomeKit (& Apple TV) from everywhere fast and fluently.
Since the plugin can do much more, we have prepared a new category for you in our Support Center (homebridgeapp.zendesk.com > Configuration > Camera).

1.2.2
Mar 21, 2017
You'll find some nice tiny features in this new release!

Backup Database
Sometimes it's just good to know and helpful to have backups of the plain "config.json"s, so you can try something new and be able to easily restore an earlier configuration, in case the new one gets messy. Have a look in the "Actions" tab for this new feature!

Plain text editor for the config.json
We received feedback, that it's easier for a few accessories and platforms, when you can manually add or edit the entries, using a plain text editor. So just added one to the "Actions" tab.

Other new features:
• Delete "CachedAccessories"
• Bug fixes and improvements
1.2.1
Jan 12, 2017
The SmartApfel.de edition!
We have implemented a lot of new features!

New PlugIns!
- Telldus: Some of our Swedish user wrote and assisted us by implementing the Telldus SmartHome solution - thanks!
- Harmony Hub: Moreover we added the Logitech Harmony Hub to easy-setup, so you can control it via HomeKit.
- Generic Plugin: Your accessory or platform is not supported from the Homebridge App yet? Just check out the plugin information at NPMjs.org and use our generic way to implement it.

Bugfixes:
We received some feedback, that the Homebridge-server is not running every time after the initial setup and that the CPU-Load is not accurate every time.
- Fixing and updating the setup script
- improving the script, so it's taking now round about 6 min to set up Homebridge instead of 40!
- fixing the CPU-Load bug
- multiple other bug fixes

Moreover we're now fully available in English and German.

We received some nice feedback, that you want to setup your relays and also shutters using a relay. So we just built 2 whole new Homebridge-Plugin, just for you – “shutters” and “relay”. Just install them via the Homebirdge-App.
We noticed through your numerous feedback, that there were a small bug in our RaspberryPi-Setup-Script. Of course we fixed that remotely a day after your first feedback-email.

We need you!
We are extending Homebridge step by step and add plugins, projects and features.
