Homebridge plugin

Need Help With My Project

Hi all,

I just installed the Homebridge plugin to get some of my data in HomeKit.

I added one sensor and it works flawless. Now I try to get data from more than one project.

But it doesn’t work. could you pls check the config.json data attached? may be one of yo can give me a hint.

thanks guys…

You should better ask creator of plugin

You are Right.

Bigot it managed by creating 2nd instance of homebrigdge.

But I don’t like this way.

May be someone has a better idea, how to send data from Blynk to HomeKit… any help is appreciated

Personally, I’d look at using Node-Red.
It has plug-ins for Blynk (which I use) and HomeBridge (which I don’t use).

My set-up for using Blynk with Node-Red doesn’t run any Blynk specific code on my ESP devices, just MQTT to talk to Node-Red. Node-Red talks to Blynk, and with other sytsrems as well (in my case Amazon Alexa, Ikea Tradfri via Node-Red plug-ins and a few other services via API calls).

sounds good. I am right now trying to handle it via ioBroker which is installed on my Rpi. lets see if this works, if not will try to use node red…
