Hi,

is there a way to push change of state outside of HAP to iOS? I try to control accessories provided by openHAB (a home automation gateway) where the state of an accessory can change without HAP´s notice. Even if I listen on the changes from outside in HAP-NodeJS I can't get the update pushed to iOS.

Thanks and kudos for both, HAP-NodeJS and HomeKitDemo.

Cheers,
henning

I'm trying to figure out how to send two different commands depending on if the command is to turn OFF or ON. I'm just using http requests in this application.
Right now it sends the same command with either the OFF or ON command and it works great except I can only send either ON or OFF depends on what I use in the http link, is there any way to have a OR statement with two different links to send either ON or OFF depending if the target state is true or false?

See my example below.

Hey KhaosT,

is it possible to send a msg to the HAP-Server to modify the value of a characteristic of an accessory?

my homematic equipment is able to send notifications when its state changes (e.g. light on/off, thermostat value change..)

If i read the value with my iOS app - valueForUpdate() in
https://github.com/KhaosT/HAP-NodeJS/blob/master/Characteristic.js#L95
is called.

So i could for example add a "onRead()" method similar to "onUpdate()" method in an accessory like you did it here:
https://github.com/KhaosT/HAP-NodeJS/blob/master/Characteristic.js#L34

but i think it´s a bad practice to do something like a sync http call in my imaginary onRead() method.
(because i would need to wait for the answer)

would be nicer if i could push a message to the HAP-Server and update the characteristics of an accessory.

i would appreciate your thoughts

best regards
tristan

I reinstalled using node version 0.10.36....
now when I run npm install -g node-gyp
I get a Trace/breakpoint trap

Should I also be downgrading npm?

Hi, I like the idea of using HAP as a replacement for SiriProxy.
So I installed NodeJS on a Raspberry PI. It is v0.10.28 that I installed. according to these instructions: http://raspberryalphaomega.org.uk/2014/06/11/installing-and-using-node-js-on-raspberry-pi/

Then I get the HAP-NodeJS SW.

When I run npm rebuild it get this:

root@raspberrypi:~/HAP# npm rebuild

Any idea, suggestion ?

KR, Rudy

I can successfully browse accessories and get past the initial pairing process by entering the correct PIN code, however on "Step 5", the NodeJS server crashes with:

From my rudimentary debugging thus far, it seems the serverLTPK var is undefined here. But I'm not sure what that means exactly.

I read the instructions on adding multiple accessories and it says
"Duplicate one of the accessory scripts in the accessories folder."

So I just added another file called Light_accessory2.js inside the accessories folder and edited the name serial number and UID. then I started the server again but it doesn't show the new device.
These are the parts I changed....

displayName: "Kitchen Light",
username: "1A:2B:3C:4D:5E:FE"

initialValue: "Kitchen Light",

initialValue: "A2S2NASF88EW",

also all the ones that pertain to the ON, Hue, Brightnes, and Saturation

onUpdate: function(value) { console.log("Change:",value); execute("Test Accessory 2", "light service", value); },

Sorry for the dumb question, but is there anywhere else to reference that I have added a new accessory?

I have an accessory "stuck" in my iOS app. When I attempt to delete it, nothing happens in the client, but HAP-NodeJS outputs "Handle Remove Pairing Info". I am currently looking for solutions.

Hi,

I have setup HAP-NodeJS on a Raspberry Pi and also written a simple iOS HomeKit enabled app. I have connected the iOS app with the GarageDoorOpener.

If I tell Siri to open / close the garage, everything works fine. But if I ask about the door status, I always get an wrong answer.

Does anybody have an idea whats wrong? Do I need to set anything else?
Normally CURRENT_DOOR_STATE_CTYPE should be called on the server or?

I get this when i start HAP on a BananaPi:

Hi,
Really like the project, but I sometimes have an issue, where siri states that it cannot perform the action at the moment. However, when I say to turn off the accessory before turning it on then it seems to work.
My question is does it know the state of the device hence it has to be turned off?

Thanks

Hello, im having problems starting the Core.js.
This is what i get when i try to start HAP-NodeJS:

Hi,

I am trying to use the HAP server,but while using command npm rebuild it generated error saying Cannot open include file: 'unistd.h'. I am using node js v0.10.32 in windows 7 32 bit system

Hey guys I've had this working fine for a few months but I upgraded to 8.3 this week and my homekit devices are all greyed out in the iPhone. I tried restarting both iPhone and the server but no dice.
Is anyone using it with latest iOS update?
Incidentally the iPhone does see the simulator app on my Mac just fine. I can see the devices on my network with bonjour browser so I know they are there. Any suggestions?

I have installed nodejs 0.10.36 in Mac 10.10.0

Rebuild it
and tried to run like
node Core.js

I am getting this error. its not able to start.
Can you pls check whats the issue ?

I explain

I value my sensors that are readable via a http request via php. they are the forms: value $ 1, $ 2 value ...

how to Recuper in the HAP-nodejs, I tried several things but it does not work!

I would like for example:

ctype: types.CURRENT_TEMPERATURE_CTYPE,
onUpdate: function (value) {console.log ("Change", value); execute ("thermostat", "Current Temperature", value); },
perms: ["pr", "ev"]
format: "int"
initialValue: 26
supportevents: false,
supportBonjour: false,
manfDescription: "Current Temperature"
unit: "celsius"

in place of initialValue: 26: have my value $ value1

The link in the Wiki leads to a "page not found".
There are several other HomeKitDemo - but the one i tried shows multiple error message.
Can someone provide a link to the code?
Thx
Thorsten

do I get this right that I can just run this on any computer and then issue commands to it through siri?

Hi!
I managed to get the HAP-NodeJS installed and working on my Raspberry with the example accessories.
I'd like now to add an accessory that drives a GPIO output, but I can't understand how to do that.
I suppose I have to copy one of the accessories and edit the values, but I wasn't able to understand how to call some kind of function or command in the terminal when the value of a characteristic changes...
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks in advace,
Luca

PS: Thanks @KhaosT for your awesome work!

Hi,
I am trying to create another light accessory, i.e. I used the existing Light_accessory.js to control the living room lights, and created a new file - BedRoomLight_accessory.js -

I've restarted the server, but I am unable to see the new bedroom light accessory on my iphone.
Any ideas what I'm missing.

Thanks

Hi,
i have it now compiled and run as expected.
2 questions:
a) how to start a shell commando from the Accessory script? I want to control KNX connected devices via "eibd" (command is "groupswrite ip:192.168.0.100 3/4/5 1" to switch on the light, 0 to switch off....)

b) i copied an accessory script and changed the Username and display name & restarted Core.js - but looks like Core.js does not detect a 2nd accessory. What else is required.

Thx.
Thorsten

I added gpio to my project. In the onUpdate section. Very similar to the gist you have of it. However it never activates the gpio.

When I cut and past the code to its own file, it works just fine. So I know that's good. Have anything changed which would cause it not to work

I've followed the steps in Readme.md, but after running node Core.js I get the following error:

> $ node Core.js

Are there some extra steps to take on OS X?

Does the apple Home Kit supports communicating across different networks.
let say i want to turn off my heater sitting in office which i forget to switch off in home..
How this works??

I've followed the instructions on the Wiki to build this on my Raspberry Pi, however when running npm rebuild. I get the below compile errors.

Probably something really obvious I've not done but I have no idea now.

Any ideas?

and the accesories must stay in "scanning"

Trying to test the thermostat_accessory and it gives me an error when I try and speak with Siri to adjust the temperature. This is what I get. I'm using the thermostat_accessory.js file as it was originally so I haven't modified it.

If I manually go into the thermostat in the iOS app and click on the target temp field it lets me set the target temp and it works and shows up in the log.

Any ideas?
I tried searching but this error doesn't look like it's come up before, maybe a syntax problem or one of my files have a typo?
Sorry to keep bothering you, I really appreciate all the help :)

I have now installed HAP-NodeJS in my office and added a second Home with a room "office".
Asking Siri to switch off the lights by naming the second home: "switch off light " work's.
But "switch off light" does not work, Siri says the devices are not responding.
I suspect that Siri does not recognize that it's in a different home and tries to address the primary home or so. So somehow I need to tell Siri that I am in a different home or set the device up in a way that it concludes this.
Anyone any idea or experience?

When my phone goes on standby i get this message on the server:
Server Disconnected
Client Disconnected

and it will not auto reconnect when i unlock my phone, i have to restart the server to get it to reconnect to my phone but when it goes into stand by i have to restart the server.

Hi guys.
I have been trying to create an accessory called Outdoor Blinds.
I have successfully created and added it by modifying the Garage door Opener accessory.
However... the commands such as Open the outdoor blinds and close the outdoor blinds do not work.
I get "it looks like you do not have an app called outdoor blinds"
the only command that works for me is "Open the garage door and Close the garage door" this is a bit of an issue because I have a garage door that I plan to add.
I know this is the accessory that is being called because the output correctly prints "Sent close to Outdoor Blinds"
The code that i have used is below:

// HomeKit types required
var types = require("./types.js")
var exports = module.exports = {};
var nc = require("node-cat");
var host = "xxx.xx.xx.xxx";
var port = "xxxx";

var types = require("./types.js")
var exports = module.exports = {};

var execute = function(accessory,characteristic,value){ console.log("executed accessory: " + accessory + ", and characteristic: " + characteristic + ", with value: " + value + "."); }

exports.accessory = {

Does anybody have any idea how i might move forward with this??
As far as I know there is no generic door opener service.
Thanks guys.

I have now 3 devices running, a lamp "window" (Licht Fenster), a lamp "cabinet" (Licht Schrankwand) and a power switch device "espresso machine" (Espressomaschine).
All react to Siri commands, the lamps on "Licht" plus "Fenster" or "Schrankwand", the espresso machine in fact on "Espresso Maschine", very good. Quite nice to say "all devices off" and the two lamps and the espresso machine get switched off one after the other. Fun!

In the first try the window light wouldn't pair, I see that every time a pairing fails if the "Verify M5" is not performed. Then the device is orphaned and doesn't show up in the discovery nor in the device list. I needed to reset HomeKit config, uninstall/reinstall the app, restart the phone etc. to get back to normal.
So the pairing process seems to be a bit fragile, currently can't see any factor influencing the failing of the pairing.

One thing that's disturbing now is that the HAP-NodeJS server would come up with "Start Verify M1" and "Start Verify M3" messages from time to time which take a few 10 seconds to complete.
During that time the HAP server is little responsive, it would take quite long until a command to a device would be executed or sometimes not at all, Siri saying the device could not be reached.
Attached a part of the log below, don't know if this helps.

hello,

I've managed to address my RGB light via HAP-NodeJS. many thanks for that great piece of code. I have three issues right now:

1. how do I configure that this light belongs to a room ?
2. is it possible to write all three characterstics (HSL) within one onUpdate? I need to make http requests and if I change I color via the circle all three values are sent as single http requests. this makes my RGB flash a little. would love to set the color with just one statement for hue, saturation and brightness.
3. is it possible to set the initial values and prefetch them via the brigde? I could get these initial values also via http request.

thanks!

I have a similar issue, as discussed in #3 whereas when I run the server on my Mac everything works fine, the accessories show up and Siri commands get through.
Now after I got my Raspberry Pi B+ to run the server the console shoots me some warnings:

*** WARNING *** The program 'node' uses the Apple Bonjour compatibility layer of Avahi.
*** WARNING *** Please fix your application to use the native API of Avahi!
*** WARNING *** For more information see <http://0pointer.de/avahi-compat?s=libdns_sd&e=node>
*** WARNING *** The program 'node' called 'DNSServiceRegister()' which is not supported (or only supported partially) in the Apple Bonjour compatibility layer of Avahi.
*** WARNING *** Please fix your application to use the native API of Avahi!
*** WARNING *** For more information see <http://0pointer.de/avahi-compat?s=libdns_sd&e=node&f=DNSServiceRegister>

but then continues with HAP-NodeJS starting... and TCP server accepting connection on port: 51826 and so on. Still my iPhone (as well as the iNet Bonjour Browser) won't detect any services.

What I've tried so far:

• Run npm rebuild again
• Reinstall node-gyp
• Reinstall node from the Heroku repo
• Restart the Pi
• Restart the router
• Restart the iPhone
• Clone the HAP repo again

I really don't know what I'm doing wrong and any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks for the effort.

Update

When I run the server on my Mac and set up an accessory, cancel the server and run it on the Pi, I do see the iPhone's attempts on trying to verify the accessory, so there are commands coming through, the Pi is just not discoverable as it seems...

Hi KHaosT,

Great updates to the HAP-NodeJS!
I have one question you could perhaps help me with. Recently I experience bonjour problems with my router (airport extreme) when using the HAP-NodeJS and other bonjour services (vnc, https, etc.). What happens is that bonjour services are not published correctly (disappear in Bonjour Browser or cannot be " unfolded" using the > button).
Do you have any idea on what causes this problem? Is there a way to debug my router (already factory reseted)? Is it simply up for an replacement, or could there something be caused by HAP-NodeJS or other services of mine (no recent changes).

Hopefully you can give me you first thought. I posted this as an issue for the case someone else experiences the same and can lookup the solution.

Thanks!

Roy

can this HAP server be used to communicate with Home Kit tester(HAT V1.0) running in Mac book . ? I tried running but the home kit simulator is not discovering the accessories.

Also while running the server I face the following warning

pi@raspberrypi ~/HAP-NodeJS $ node Core.js
*** WARNING *** The program 'node' uses the Apple Bonjour compatibility layer of Avahi.
*** WARNING *** Please fix your application to use the native API of Avahi!
*** WARNING *** For more information see http://0pointer.de/avahi-compat?s=libdns_sd&e=node
*** WARNING *** The program 'node' called 'DNSServiceRegister()' which is not supported (or only supported partially) in the Apple Bonjour compatibility layer of Avahi.
*** WARNING *** Please fix your application to use the native API of Avahi!
*** WARNING *** For more information see http://0pointer.de/avahi-compat?s=libdns_sd&e=node&f=DNSServiceRegister

is this warning blocks the HAT to discover.??

Hi KhaosT,

I would like to add more accessories to the hub. Could you give some tips on how to achieve this?
I've tried a couple of this and concluded that the target port for accessories need to be 2 apart to account for the read and write (+1) port. Besides this, my guess is that the serial numbers have to be unique.
Are these assumptions correct? Are there any other things I should keep in mind? Please note that I'm quite new to NodeJS etc.

With my try now I get the following error after I try to add a second accessory in the HomeKitDemo app.
buffer.js:188
throw new TypeError('First argument needs to be a number, ' +

After this I have to restore HomeKit on my phone to get the first accessory working again.

Hopefully you can give me some pointers in the right direction. Thanks again!

Hi, I have HAP-NodeJS running on a Raspberry Pi, nothing more, nothing less, stock accessories. Anyway, I go to pair them with my iPhone (6, 8.1) and it just keeps asking for the PIN for the accessory and doesn't ever connect.
Here is a video with the issue highlighted:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-OwA6WUmnQ&feature=youtube_gdata_player
And logs from the RasPi:

Does anyone know how would I change the Light_accessory.js file to post http commands to a web server when I use home kit to turn ON or OFF a device?
I think this is the area I would alter, am I on the right track?

supportBonjour: false,

I was doing something like shown below with the Mac Homekit app,
I'm just not at all familiar when it comes to json.

if(characteristic.boolValue == YES){

        NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://10.10.10.10/RunEventQS.asp?sValue=on"]];

        // Create url connection and fire request
        (void)[[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:request delegate:nil];
    }else{
        NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://10.10.10.10/RunEventQS.asp?sValue=off"]];

        // Create url connection and fire request
        (void)[[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:request delegate:nil];  

Sorry to keep posting on here with my issues...
Thanks in advance ;)

Does anyone have this same issue, when I leave the wifi network it stays connected and works for a number of hours via my Apple TV which is signed into my iCloud account but then it suddenly disconnects. And I can't issue any commands anymore and the devices show red.

I have to usually restart the server and sometimes the iPhone and Apple TV also to get it working again.

I get this in the log when it happens.....

Superb progress @KhaosT....
I've setup a light yesterday, modifying the Light_accessory.js file, and it works fine.
I'm attempting to add another light so I've duplicated my modified Light_accessory.js file ...given it a unique username, and changed the name.
I can add the new light and via the iOS app can switch both lights on and off correctly.
When i use siri to switch the light...no matter which light i address, both lights get switched on or off together.
Can i setup more than one device for each service type? or have i done something wrong somewhere?

On a fresh Raspbian install (following the Raspi install doc) I'm running into an error when building Curve. I am able to successfully install node-gyp, but when I run npm rebuild it errors out on the curve module. It's worth noting that if I do a node-gyp rebuild from the curve module it builds fine.
