The example-flow demonstrates a bi-directional communication between node-red and homebridge-mqtt:

office_lamp

  • add the accessory office_lamp
topic: homebridge/to/add
payload: {"name":"office_lamp","service":"Switch"}
  • now you can set office_lamp to on (true) or off (false)
topic: homebridge/to/set
payload: {"name":"office_lamp","characteristic":"On","value":true}
or
payload: {"name":"office_lamp","characteristic":"On","value":false}
  • diplay the messages from homebridge-mqtt in the debug tab:
topic: homebridge/from/#
  • To test this example flow copy the code and import it into node-red.
