IKEA Trådfri Gateway plugin for Homebridge.
- Automatic discovery of the Trådfri gateway
- Turn on/off lights
- Adjust the brightness
- Adjust color temperature (figuring out how to do this the best way)
- Make the plugin work with third party HomeKit apps
- Better error handling and logging
- Install Homebridge using:
npm install -g homebridge
- Install this plugin using:
npm install -g homebridge-tradfri
- Update your configuration file. See the sample below.
The PSK (Pre-Shared Key) can be found printed on the bottom of the IKEA Trådfri Gateway. This plugin makes use of coap-client which is part of libcoap.
The plugin comes with prebuilt x86-64 binaries for macOS and Linux. There is no need to compile coap-client
if this is what you're using. If not, you'll need to compile coap-client
yourself and use the config property coapClientPath
to point to the location of the coap-client
binary.
"platforms": [{
"platform" : "Tradfri",
"name" : "Tradfri",
"psk" : "23asqw9123j33",
"coapClientPath": "/usr/local/bin/coap-client" // OPTIONAL: See above
}],
Installing libcoap as per the following instructions for Debian/Ubuntu:
$ apt-get install libtool git build-essential autoconf automake
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/obgm/libcoap.git
$ cd libcoap
$ git checkout dtls
$ git submodule update --init --recursive
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure --disable-documentation --disable-shared
$ make
$ sudo make install
You'll find the coap-client
binary in ./examples
