Homebridge API (GraphQL based)

WTF?

I was trying to build integrations between Homebridge and Alexa, but I couldn't find anything about Homebridge API, to get accessories & listen to statuses change. So I decided to build my own.

Homebridge API is based on GraphQL spec, currently it supports:

• Getting accessories & services & characteristics
• Querying characteristic's value
• Subscribing to characteristic's value change in realtime
• (Incoming) Setting characteristic's value

Installation

• Start Homebridge in Insecure mode (Important)
• Install the plugin

npm i -g homebridge-api

• Add config Check sample-config.json file

{
	"bridge": {
		...
	},
	"api": {
		"port": 18110,
		"token": "TOP-SECRET-LOL",
		"introspection": true,
		"playground": true
	}
}

Where:

1. port GraphQL server port
2. token Token to access the GraphQL
3. introspection Enable GraphQL introspection (should disable it for public)
4. playground Enable GraphQL playground (should disable it for public)

• Restart Homebridge

Play time

Don't forget to set header

Authorization: YOUR-ACCESS-TOKEN-HERE

• Query accessories

accessories {
	aid
	services {
		type
		characteristics {
			iid
			type
			value
		}
	}
}

• Query characteristic

query {
  characteristic(aid: "21", iid: "10")
  {
    value
  }
}

• Subscribe to characteristic's value

subscription {
  characteristicChanged(aid: "21", iid: "10")
  {
    value
  }
}

TODO

• Mutation for updating characteristic
• Refactor
• Classic REST API
