A Homekit implementation for Big Ass Fans. Is heavily dependant on the unofficial Big Ass Fans API.
First install homebridge - instructions here
An example config.json is as follows:
{
"accessory": "BigAssFan",
"name": "Sean's Big Ass Fan",
"fan_name": "Sean's Room",
"fan_id": "20:F8:5E:AA:7A:57"
}
In order to get the fan_id, run the example program getFanInfo.js from theBigAssFansAPI.
You must also set the fan_name to the name returned here.
Install this package with
npm install -g homebridge-bigAssFans
