A Homebridge plugin to control [GEMS Smart LED Light Bulbs](https://www.target.com/p/gems-smart-led-light-bulb/-/A-77470708). It was created by reverse engineering the bluetooth protocol from the official app.

## Installation

homebridge-gems-bulb can be installed through `npm`.

```

$ sudo npm install -g homebridge-gems-bulb --unsafe-perm

```

## Configuration

You will first need to find the MAC address of your bulb. Each light will have a unique MAC address and likely a unique name. The bulb must be unpaired from other software or it will not show here.

```

$ sudo hcitool lescan

...

AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF M_lightXYZ

...

```

Add a new accessory to your `config.json` using the MAC address you located.

```

{

    "accessory" : "GemsBulb",

    "name" : "Bulb 1",

    "mac" : "AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF"

}

```

Restart Homebridge for the new bulb to appear in the Home app.

```

$ sudo systemctl restart homebridge.service

```
