This plugin is intended to work with Homebridge, giving the ability to control your dumb AirConditioner through LIRC. My personal settup is a Raspberry 3+ with an IR Transmitter Infrared Remote Hat Expansion Board installed on it.
1 - Install the plugin through npm
sudo npm install -g homebridge-aircon-lirc-accessory
2 - Add the accessory to your Homebridge config.json
"accessories": [
{
"accessory": "AirConLircAccessory",
"name": "Your_custom_name"
}
],- In order to this plugin to work, the computer where you have installed Homebridge must be able to run commands like
irsend SEND_ONCE ac HEAT_23_MED(TODO: commands and device name customization)
