| Fake doorbell plugin | Partly works | Worked for years as input trigger for the doorbell plugin until the dimmer brokeSaved copyI need some help. My perfectly working doorbell with homepod chime broke down. I use the fake doorbell plugin which is trouble free. But to work I need an input to trigger the plugin. My solution was a relay connected to the existing doorbell that switched a modified hue dimmer switch. I opened the dimmer switch and soldered some wires to one of the four buttons. Worked fine for years. But now the hue dimmer switch seems to be broken. So I’m looking for a simple way to make a switch input into homekit/homebridge. Any simple ideas?? Thanks!

Each row is one report from a plugin’s GitHub issues, pull requests, discussions, wiki or docs, or from r/homebridge. Check the date and the linked thread before you buy.
In ReReHome
Once a Homebridge plugin publishes it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Homebridge bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
