homebridge-raritan-pdu

A Raritan PX-5475 PDU plugin for Homebridge. This creates a single PDU accessory with multiple outlet services and a light meter service to report on current utilization in Watts.

This code is heavily based on the work of invliD's homebridge-digipower-pdu accessory.

Installation

Run these commands:

% sudo npm install -g homebridge
% sudo npm install -g homebridge-raritan-pdu

NB: If you install homebridge like this:

sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm homebridge

Then all subsequent installations must be like this:

sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm homebridge-raritan-pdu

Example accessory config (needs to be added to the homebridge config.json): ...
