Control and monitor your Airmega purifier with HomeKit.

Functionality

• Control power, fan speed, and lights
• Toggle between manual and auto mode
• Reports the current air quality

Prerequisites

• Installation of Homebridge
• iOS 11 or later
• Airmega 400S or 300S connected to WiFi and registered with the IOCare app

Installation

npm install -g homebridge-airmega

Configuration

Add the following to your homebridge config:

"platforms": [
  {
    "platform": "Airmega",
    "username": "myusername",
    "password": "password123"
  }
]

Excluding Accessories

You can optionally prevent certain accessories from being created by using the exclude option in your config (note: only the lightbulb accessory supports exclusion for now).

Example:

"platforms": [
  {
    "platform": "Airmega",
    "username": "myusername",
    "password": "password123",
    "exclude": [
      "lightbulb"
    ]
  }
]

Authentication

The IOCare app offers two main options for logging in: "Phone Number/Email" or "Coway ID". The username and password you supply in the config has been tested to work with either one. This plugin currently does not support authentication through social networks.

Tested Siri Commands

Example of some Siri commands you can use:

• "Turn on the air purifier"
• "Turn off the air purifier lights"
• "Set the air purifier to auto"
• "Set the air purifier fan to medium"
• "What's the air quality in <room name>?"
