homebridge-people-guest-mode

This is a plugin for homebridge. It's a forked version of homebridge-people with a dummy switch called "Guest Mode" designed to override the "Anyone" presence sensor so that you can force presence without onboarding a new person.

Installation

1. Install homebridge (if not already installed) using: npm install -g homebridge
2. Install this plugin using: npm install -g homebridge-people-guest-mode
3. Update your configuration file. See below for a sample.
