# homebridge-gpio-device

Homebridge GPIO device expose several HomeKit accessories interacting with GPIO

# Installation

1. Install latest NodeJS 10.x (tested with 10.19.0)
2. Install homebridge using: `npm install -g homebridge`
3. Install wiringPi using: `sudo apt-get install wiringpi`
3. Add rights to homebridge user if running homebridge as systemd service: `sudo usermod -a -G gpio homebridge`
4. Install this plugin using: `sudo npm install -g homebridge-gpio-device --unsafe-perm`
6. Update your configuration file. See bellow for a sample.

# Wiring

Any inputs are configured with pull-up resistor and considered as active on low state.
Sensors must be plug as following

`GND <---> SENSOR <---> PIN`

Sensors are considered as _Normally Opened_ by default. If using _Normally Closed_ sensor, you can use `inverted` or `invertedInputs` parameters as explained in the next section.
Pull-up resistors can be disabled by adding parameter `"pullUp": false` in any accessory using inputs. If disabled, you'll have to wire pull-up or pull-down resistors by yourself.

###### Note

In the section bellow, `LOW` state means _sensor contact closed_. `HIGH` state means _sensor contact opened_.
For outputs, `LOW` state means 0V and `HIGH` state means 3.3V.

# Configuration
