Hi sahil! I just watched this video and i really appreciate your work and i need a video install homebridge and setup the plugins on raspberry pi4 , can u plz make a video and provide a link to me. Thanx 😊
Sahil great video and happy to note your contribution here in spreading the Homebridge knowledge. Meanwhile which is the Homebridge plugin you use for products from Wipro and Homemate?
There are a couple of Tuya plugins that you can experiment with- there is no one size fits all plugin today but most Wipro and HomeMate devices work with local tuya plugin. I’ve added a link in the description
@@mrsahilbawa Thanks again Sahil. I am having issues with finding this plugin in the Homebridge plugins page. what's the name of the plugin when you search for this in Homebridge?
Thanks! But what I did was simply install Home Assistant on the Rpi4 and since HA has way better integrations I exposed them all to Homekit with the Home Bridge Plugin. Since my Rpi4 has a Zigbee dongle, and almost all my devices have zigbee, it runs locally.
Yes, it works with both. If you use the local lan tuya plugin, it will only detect non-fan regulator nodes successfully; It does detect the fan regulator mode but it won't work. For the fan node alone, I used the tuya web plugin and excluded all other nodes to show up again in Home. The issue here is that the plugin is not highly configurable today to support all brands and I have been trying to write my own for Indian market but it takes some work. The issue I haven't been able to work around ids the fact that the fan regulation speed is not working today in any of the plugins- only on/off.
@@mrsahilbawa I see. I knew I saw your name on one of those Tuya Github page. Thanks for making the video and being more elaborate on the topic. I have subscribed and I'm looking forward to your how to videos. I'll stick with ordering non-fan model for now. Keeping my fingers crossed for the future update on the fan one
I just set up homebridge I only have one problem I got smart switches all over my house by this brand called VIBE smarthome I have no clue how to integrate that with this I am pretty sure I can’t it works with Alexa and google home but it’s not tuya based they have their own app and I can’t find any api info on site
@@mrsahilbawa the plugin you gave requires tuya id and all that shit....so if you can make a video about that, that how to connect wipro accessories and homemate accessories that'll be helpful as I am planning to buy LED strips as well. you can help me/us save a ton of money. and also you have not made any video for 9 months sooo.
It works perfectly. Please read the plugins documentation to understand how to use the scan frequency button to scan your IR or RF frequencies and assign them to actions.
