Domoticz internal Security Panel about homebridge-edomoticz

[rswilem]

Alright! I have just committed a new version (e5d1267) which is on npm, too.

This version supports status changing through Homekit. No need to input your passcode anywhere. Somehow the "Security Key" is saved in Domoticz's settings. I can just take that value and use it in my security calls. Simply works. Try it out! ✌🏼

Wow, that was fast. Working like charm. Thank You very much.

I have implemented this just now. See commit 77b4c8f. The only thing left to do here is to build the sending of arm and disarm commands.

I have not built this for now since I'm not sure on how to save the passcode. We'd need a passcode for arming and disarming, and saving the passcode in .homebridge/config is not a good idea..
We'd want something like a control panel popping up on the HomeKit(/ Eve) app where the user can input their passcode everytime a state is being changed.

Not sure how to do this for now. Anyhow, Security panel status can be accessed through HomeKit now, and you'll receive a push notification everytime the alarm status changes. (immediately too, MQTT!)

Have you looked at the configurationhandler within homebridge dynamic platform sample? https://github.com/nfarina/homebridge/blob/master/example-plugins/homebridge-samplePlatform/index.js

Wonder if similar is triggerable just for specific type/subtype to capture & cache when bridge is first added to home if sec type exists...?

Oh wow. Nice! Didn't know such a thing existed. Downside is that the "password" is still saved in ’config.json’. If anyone has access to that file, that person could basically unlock your security system. I'd rather have the user input it everytime, just as you would do when using the physical device.

Reading of security status works really well - big thanks for that. But the more You give, the more they want ... So my question is that can You instruct me what to change in accessory file to get sending status also working. I understand the risks of storing security code in file and can live with that for now.

Alright, I'll have to take a look and try and reverse engineer the sending part. That's something I haven't done yet. All of this is undocumented in the API so I'll have to take a look at the Domoticz code. Will let you know!

[ergofreiberg]

Thank's in advance. I must say that there seems to be no security systems that actually work with homekit (at least I can’t find any - only promises for future). So hope You can find something.
