homebridge-mac-screensaver

Control your mac screensaver with HomeBridge. Currently this only works if you are running homebridge on a mac with high sierra.

When on, it launches the screensaver on your mac, when off it puts the display to sleep. I use this to ensure that my mac screensaver is running and showing my photos when I'm in the room or coming home, etc but ensures its asleep when I'm out.

Installation

• Install homebridge: npm install -g homebridge
• Install homebridge-mac-display: npm install -g homebridge-mac-screensaver --unsafe-perm
• Update configuration file

Configuration file

All you have to do is add a new accessory under the ScreenSaverSwitch name:

"accessories": [
  {
    "accessory": "ScreenSaverSwitch",
    "name": "My Mac Screensaver"
  }
]
