Installation - homebridge-plugins/homebridge-ewelink GitHub Wiki

⚠️ You will need to uninstall any previous homebridge-ewelink-* plugins before installation. I would also recommend clearing the accessory cache if you had a previous homebridge-ewelink-* plugin installed.

1. Install

Homebridge UI & HOOBS

Simply go to the 'Plugins' page, search homebridge-ewelink and click 'Install'.

Manually

This will only work if you are using a platform which installs plugins globally.

sudo npm i homebridge-ewelink -g

2. Configure

If you use the Homebridge UI or HOOBS then a configuration screen will appear after installing the plugin where you can enter your eWeLink credentials. Use your main eWeLink account credentials, this is different from other plugins where it was advised to use a 'shared' eWeLink account. You can optionally use a base64-encoded version of your password.

See the Configuration page for JSON configuration templates and other optional settings if editing the configuration manually.

3. Restart

And voila your eWeLink devices should be added to your Homebridge/HOOBS instance.
