Resin.io application for Homebridge and SmartThings

Setting up your repository

Clone this repository and make customizations to the configuration for your site in the .homebridge/config.json file.

1. Replace the username with a unique MAC address in all upper case
2. Replace the pin with a unique code for your installation
3. Make sure that app_url points to the smart things endpoint for your region ... where your developer account is located and hub claimed
4. copy the platforms portion of the configuration text from the smartapp on your phone into the config.json
5. Add and commit your changes in git

            "app_url": "https://graph-na02-useast1.api.smartthings.com:443/api/smartapps/installations/",
            "app_id": "YOUR APP ID HERE",
            "access_token": "YOUR ACCESS TOKEN HERE"
        }
    ]
}

Setting up resin.io

Create an account at resin.io if you don't have one and add your ssh key for git pushes.

Make an application called HomeBridge or whatever you like at resin.io and add the git remote to the repository you cloned in the step above.

git remote add resin [email protected]:yourusername/homebridge.git

Download a ResinOS 1.x image configured for your network from the application menu at the resin site and use Etcher to burn it to and SD card. After placing the card into your RPI, wait a few mins for it to register and show up attached to your application in the resin.io interface.

Push this version of your application into the resin build system for the first time using:

git push -u resin master

The first push will take a fairly long time as it needs to build and cache the primary layers of the Docker image. Subsequent pushes will be much faster.

Workflow

From now on, make changes to your configuration file in your repository and commit them, and push the changes to resin to deploy them.

[edit stuff]
git add .
git commit -m "Stuff I changed"
git push resin master

Currently this only works with ResinOS 1.x because of an issue with avahi on 2.x
