Ive finally figure out home bridge somewhat and now have it running along with a wemo plug, however I can't get the the SKYHD or LG WebOS plugins working.

https://www.npmjs.com/package/homebridge-webos2

https://www.npmjs.com/package/homebridge-sky-plus

Anyone got experience with either of these plugins ?
Yes I just re-installed my Rpi with a fresh install of Homebridge as I've moved house.

I have the Sky Plus plugin working.
Simply add the code to your config.json file, but make sure you add your sky boxes IP address. This can be found either from your router or from the network settings on the sky box menu.

Restart Homebridge and you should be able to turn your sky box on and off with Siri/HomeKit.

One thing to note is that the IP of the sky box may change if it gets disconnected from the router for a long(ish) time, then when it reconnects it may of changed from what you've got in your config.json and it won't work.
Easy fix is to assign a static IP address to your sky box through your router settings.

Current Setup:

HomeBridge serving up Nest and Chamberlain Garage Door.

Lutron hub running multiple Caseta switches - 9 and counting, with a few yet to install this weekend.

Hue hub running some Hue overhead lights and a couple of Hue Lux lamp bulbs, as well as a Hue smart switch.

One iHome smart plug running a fountain in my front yard.

What do I want to add:

I'd love smart locks on all 3 doors. I've got my eye on the Kwikset Premis, but the idea would be an NFC & HomeKit capable device.

I'm pretty committed to the Lutron system now, so i'd like to see a ceiling fan speed controller from them, I don't want to put an Insteon hub in...i'm all hubbed out.

Shades maybe, not a must have.

Future Device?

Maybe the aforementioned NFC & HomeKit capable door locks and lutron fan speed controllers.

A bridge to my car for remote start and pre-heating in the winter would be very nice.
