homebridge-mqtt-security

This is a lightly modified version of "homebridge-paradox-security-system". Both are Homebridge plugins to allow control of a security system via MQTT. For my purposes I'm using Home Assistant as a middle-man to bridge my security system (Honeywell Total Connect) to MQTT, and vice versa.

Notes

• Usage of this plugin requires a MQTT broker to be setup, check out Mosquitto if you're in need of one.
• "command_topic" and associated payload is what Homebridge will send to the MQTT broker.
• "state_topic" and associated payload is what Homebridge will receive from the MQTT broker.

Installation

npm install -g homebridge-mqtt-security

Configuration

Configure the plugin as shown below within config.json (typically located in the "~/.homebridge" directory).
