Homebridge plugin for the AiLight firmware

This is an accessory plugin for Homebridge allowing to manage and control light bulbs that use the AiLight firmware.

The plugin makes itself available to Homekit as a Lightbulb Accessory with the following characteristics:

• Characteristic.On
• Characteristic.Brightness
• Characteristic.Hue
• Characteristic.Saturation

Current Stable Release: v0.1.3 (Please read the changelog for detailed information).

This plugin communicates to your device via the REST API exposed by AiLight itself. As such you need to have v0.5.0 or higher of AiLight uploaded to your device. Furthermore, the REST API needs to be enabled. Please refer to REST API instructions of AiLight how to set this up.

Assuming you have already Homebridge installed, install this plugin as follows:

npm install -g homebridge-ailight

The Homebridge AiLight Plugin registers itself as AiLight, with the following configuration options:

{
  "bridge": {
    "name": "Homebridge",
    "username": "CC:22:3D:E3:CE:30",
