light Device

A light device exposes a PWM light connected to a GPIO pin. Homebridge RPi configures the GPIO pin for output. Currently, Homebridge RPi is hard-coded to use pigpiod's default frequency and range for PWM.

The device is exposed as a separate HomeKit accessory, with a Lightbulb service. Through this service, you can control the brightness from HomeKit.

The light device uses the following config.json keys:

key type Description
name string The name for the device in HomeKit.
gpio integer The GPIO pin.
