Homebridge Loxone Control

Homebridge plugin to control a Loxone web interface with Puppeteer. This is very useful when you don't have network access to the Loxone Miniserver, but you can log into the web interface of Loxone:

Plugin Information

• This plugin allows you to view and control all your Loxone devices within HomeKit. The plugin:
  • opens a headless Chrome browser with the Loxone web interface and intercepts the built-in websocket
  • attempts to control your devices by sending commands directly with the websocket connection
  • instantly getting state updates by listening for certain events on the websocket
  • support for various devices, including blinds (with percentage and tilt adjustments), lights (with dimming capabilities), outlets, ventilations and temperature sensors.

Prerequisites

• To use this plugin, you will need to already have:
  • Node: latest version of v18 or v20 - any other major version is not supported.
  • Homebridge: v1.6 - refer to link for more information and installation instructions.
  • Credentials for Loxone MiniServer: You will need your Loxone MiniServer ID and login credentials for the Loxone App. Typically, your landlord will provide a login link or similar access method for the Loxone App. Within the app, navigate to the info panel to locate the "serial number," which serves as your MiniServer ID.

Configuration JSON
