homebridge-pc-volume

homebridge-pc-volume is a Homebridge plugin that adds a support for changing a computer's volume using HomeKit and Siri.

OS Support

homebridge-pc-volume utilises node-loudness, which currently supports macOS and Linux (using ALSA).

HomeKit is supported by iOS. Note that HomeKit does not support the "speaker" accessory type, so this will be shown as a lightbulb. If anyone knows how to get iOS to support a speaker, please create an issue or a PR.

Installation

First, install Homebridge.

Then install homebridge-pc-volume via npm:

npm install -g homebridge-pc-volume

homebridge-pc-volume will also need to be specified as an accessory in your ~/.homebridge/config.json:

  "accessories": [
    {
      "accessory": "ComputerSpeakers",
      "name": "MacBook"
    }
  ]

Note that accessory must be "ComputerSpeakers", while the name can be any value of your choosing.
