Configuration

Example

"platforms": [
  {
	"platform": "sensibo-hub",
	"name": "sensibo-hub",
	"api_key": "YOUR_SENSIBO_API_ID",
	"refresh_interval": 30000,
	"enable_fanDry": false
  }
]

Fields

• platform: Must always be "sensibo-hub" (required)
• name: Can be anything (required)
• api_key: Sensibo API key, must be obtained from Sensibo (required)
• refresh_interval: devices refresh interval in ms (optional, default=30000)
• enable_fanDry: enable fan/dry mode on supported A/C's (optional, default=false)

Usage Notes

• A fan speed of 0 means "auto".
• Debug mode supported, with -D tag. See Homebridge for details.
• The refresh interval variable must not be too small. If the plugin calls the API too much, the used key may get revoked. The default value should be fine.

Fan/Dry Mode: When enabled, and if the A/C supports fan and dry modes, the accessory will display a switch used to enable/disable this mode. When the switch is active, the cool/heat modes will be "replaced" by fan/dry modes, respectively.
