Homebridge Plugin for LifeSmart Bulb

This plug-in enables you to control your Lifesmart bluetooth bulb however does not support RGB/Hue/Brightness as reversing the bluetooth protocol was faced with difficulty. I will not upload this to npm.

Installation

1. Download the git
2. cd into the git folder Run the following command

sudo npm -g install

Config.json file

	{
	    "accessory" : "Lifesmart-bulb",
	    "name" : "Lifesmart",
	    "mac" : "xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx",
	}

Key	Description
accessory	Required. Has to be "lifesmart-bulb"
name	Required. The name of this accessory. This will appear in your Homekit app
mac	Required. The mac address of the lifesmart bulb

Issues

1. When starting the plugin, the bulb will be turned on automatically. This is due to the get state issue if the bulb is not turned on automatically, the get state will not be accurate.
2. RGB,HUE,Brightness are not working as reversing the bluetooth protocol was faced with difficulty. If anyone requires the bluetooth wireshark logs. Feel free to ask
