Use the 'Baby Devices' (babyDevices[]) configuration section to customise how your baby light/sound devices are exposed to HomeKit.

See Supported Devices to see which devices can be customised using this section.

Adding To HomeKit

The plugin publishes this device as an external accessory, meaning it needs to be added to HomeKit separately.

  • From the Home app, select the plus icon and click "Add Accessory"
  • Select the "More options..." link just above the camera view
  • Select the accessory named "Speaker"
  • Enter the pin code that will be displayed in the Homebridge log when the plugin initialises:
    [01/01/2022, 1:00:00 PM] Please add [Device 00AA] manually in Home app. Setup Code: XXX-XX-XXX
    
  • The device will then be added to HomeKit

You will also need to manually remove this accessory from HomeKit if you ever need to.
