I can confirm I have all my lights set as "lightbulbs" but I happily tell my Apple Watch to "Set Living Room Lights To 30%" and it happens in a split of a second đź‘Ť

I have been slowly adding accessories and now have 16 HS4 devices working with HomeBridge. But they have disappeared in the HS4 plugin. When I restart homebridge/plugin everything works but the accessories are not showing in the plugin?

Ok, I restored my config file from yesterday and now everything is working again. Homebridge restarted and my accessories(devices) are now back.

Hi guys,
I have achieved to get Homebridge up and running and I can add lights, switches etc. It looks really promising
However, I cannot figure out how to add thermostats.
I am using the GUI and have tried to add the "ref" of the root device in the simple device setup. (I.e. when I press the root device in HS I can see the "ref=XXX" in the url and that is the number I use), however this does not work. I have also tried to insert the ref of the child device for e.g. setpoint. I also tried to insert the Z-wave node number.
I have also tried the advanced setup adding the "ref" of the root device and the "ref" of the child devices but that does not work either.
I would be really appreciated if somebody could guide on this i.e. what information do I need to pick from HS and insert into homebridge?
Thanks

{
"type": "Thermostat",
"name": "Living Room Thermostat",
"ref": 599,
"heatingSetpointRef": 604,
"coolingSetpointRef": 605,
"controlRef": 602,
"stateRef": 603
},
Where:
controlRef is the reference for the thermostat's mode (e.g. Auto, Off, Heat, Cool, etc.)
stateRef is the reference for the operating state (idle, Heating, Cooling, etc.).

Thanks, that is very helpful and I suceeded in adding thermostats (Eurotronic) with the ref pointing to the device showing the temperature. However, I have a few Danfoss thermostats which do not have a devices showing current temperature or mode but only root devices, battery and setpoint. Those I have not figured out yet...

I would like to share my experience with HomeKit/HomeBridge/HomeBridge-HomeSeer4. It works. It's a bit ugly to get/keep the config.json straight, but Homebridge UI makes it relatively straight forward. I have deployed HomeBridge on a Raspberry PI, as the windows-based product is flakey at best. Yes, I'd prefer a native PI, but this is a workable solution.

I’m using HOOBS on a rpi with the HS3 HS4 plugin. It’s fantastic. Very easy to setup because of the plug-in.
If you are asking for native HomeKit, don’t. This is probably better.
