homebridge-tydom

Homebridge plugin to easily manage Tydom hardware by Delta Dore from Apple HomeKit.

• Rely on node-tydom-client to communicate with an existing Tydom bridge (required).

• Properly propagates external events into Apple HomeKit.

• Built with TypeScript for static type checking with exported types along the library.

• Supports Webhooks to trigger non-homekit dependent actions or notifications.

Documentation

Installation

1. Add homebridge-tydom plugin to your homebridge install:

• eg. using oznu/docker-homebridge, update ./volumes/homebridge/package.json

{
  "private": true,
  "description": "This file keeps track of which plugins should be installed.",
  "dependencies": {
    "homebridge-tydom": "^0.15.1"
  }
}

2. Configure the homebridge-tydom platform, providing your Tydom identifiers:

{
  "bridge": {
    "name": "Homebridge 27C9",
    "username": "0E:21:1B:E7:27:C9",
    "port": 53619,
    "pin": "031-45-154"
  },
  "accessories": [],
  "platforms": [
    {
      "platform": "Tydom",
      "hostname": "mediation.tydom.com",
      "username": "001A25123456",
      "password": "YourPassw0rd"
    }
  ]
}

Your username is the MAC Address of your local Tydom hardware, it should be 001A25 + your 6-character home ID that you can find in the mobile app.

For your password, you can also use an environment variable HOMEBRIDGE_TYDOM_PASSWORD with the base64 encoded value of your password (might be safer than having it inside your config.json).

Example: HOMEBRIDGE_TYDOM_PASSWORD=Zm9vYmFyYmF6 for a foobarbaz password (echo -n "foobarbaz" | base64)

3. Configure the locale used for the labels (supported languages: French (default) & English) using the HOMEBRIDGE_TYDOM_LOCALE environment variable with value fr or en.

SecuritySystem

You can also manage your TYXAL+ security system from HomeKit, but it requires your alarm pin code:

As HomeKit security system has 3 active levels: stay, night, away you can configure which zones are linked to these active levels (away is by default every zones).

1. You need to add the following to the config settings field (check the logs for your actual device id).

{
  "platforms": [
    {
      "settings": {
        "1521931577": {"aliases": {"stay": [3], "night": [2, 3]}}
      }
    }
  ]
}

2. For the pin,

You can either add a pin field:

{
  "platforms": [
    {
      "settings": {
        "1521931577": {"pin": "123456", "aliases": {"stay": [3], "night": [2, 3]}}
      }
    }
  ]
}

Or you can also use an environment variable HOMEBRIDGE_TYDOM_PIN with the base64 encoded value of your pin (might be safer than having it inside your config.json).

You can optionnaly rename zones (default is Zone 1, Zone 2, etc.),

{
  "platforms": [
    {
      "settings": {
        "1521931577": {"zones": ["1st Floor", "Ground Floor", "Garden"]}
      }
    }
  ]
}

Webhooks

You can specify webhooks in your config.json to receive non homekit-dependent notifications.

For now all SecuritySystem events are relayed and we only support discord.

{
  "platforms": [
    {
      "webhooks": [
        {
          "url": "https://discord.com/api/webhooks/123456/abdcdef",
          "type": "discord",
          "level": "debug"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Category overrides (eg. Fan)

You can override categories of devices (eg. some light switch used to manage a fan)

1. You need to add the following to the config settings field (check the logs for your actual device id).

{
  "platforms": [
    {
      "settings": {
        "1528565701": {"category": 3}
      }
    }
  ]
}

3 being the Categories.FAN number.

Supported hardware

It is currently supporting the following devices (have them at home).

• Lightbulb (TYXIA 5610, TYXIA 6610)
• Dimmable Lightbulb (TYXIA 5650
• Fan (TYXIA 6610)
• Thermostat (RF4890)
• Switch (TYXIA 4620)
• Security System (TYXAL+)
• Contact Sensor (Door / Window) (TYXAL+ MDO BL)

But should support many more similar devices out of the box.

Some other hardware that should work thanks to the community feedback:

• WindowCoverings (TYXIA 5630, TYXIA 5730, TYXIA 5731)

It is relatively easy to add new hardware so don't hesitate to create a new issue.

Notes

You can also use your local tydom IP (eg 192.168.0.X) for hostname, however:

• You must set environment var NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0 to interact with the self-signed certificate.
• Tydom 2.0 current firmware does not seem to support multiple local clients, so you would end up locking you away from the mobile app.

Configurations

• The settings field enables you to override the name or homekit category of your Tydom device (check homebridge log for the device ids).

You can also use the following environment variables (base64 encoded values)

Debug

This library uses debug to provide high verbosity logs, just pass the following environment:

DEBUG=homebridge-tydom

You might also want to debug node-tydom-client

DEBUG=homebridge-tydom,tydom-client
