# homebridge-temperature-file

This is a plugin for [homebridge](https://github.com/nfarina/homebridge) which makes it possible to create a temperature sensor

in HomeKit via file.

## Why via file?

When you have a DHT-sensor, you need `sudo` to read from it. I don't want to run homebridge as `sudo`, so I'm having a `cronjob`, 

which writes every n seconds to a file and read from it from homebridge.

## Example config

```json

{

  "accessory": "TemperatureFile",

  "name": "Temperature-sensor",

  "description": "The temperature sensor in the bedroom",

  "file_path": "/home/pi/dht/temp"

}

```
