Homebridge Motion Switch

Setup

npm install -g alvst/homebridge-bearer-token-expiration-notification

And add the following to the accessories list in your Homebridge config. I recommend the name "!! "Your Bearer Token Has expired" !!" As the notification will then read "Motion detected !! "Your Bearer Token Has expired" !!".

    "accessories": [
      {
          "accessory": "Motion Switch",
          "motion_sensor_name": "Motion Sensor",
          "switch_name": "Motion Switch",
          "name": "!! \"Your Bearer Token Has expired\" !!",
          "bearerToken": "",
      }
    ]

Then add it to HomeKit, once added, you will need to turn on Notifications for the sensor (Home.app → Home Settings → Sensors → [Sensor Name] → Activity notifications). Once the Bearer Token Expires, you will be notified the token has expired with a notification. When you add the device to your "Home", you can ignore the errors.

Required fields

Key	Description	Required
bearerToken	Bearer authentication token you want to check	Yes

Optional Fields

Key	Description	Default	Units	Other Info
check_interval	When the the token is valid, this is the interval at which it will check again (I recommend this be more often than the 'check_interval_failed')	300000	Milliseconds	Equivalent to 5 minutes
check_interval_failed	When the the token is Invalid, this is the interval at which it will check again. I recommend making this longer as the notification will be repeated until you update your token	43200000	Milliseconds	Equivalent to 12 hours
allow_time_reset	When you activate the motion sensor within Home.app, a check is initiated and the timer is reset. This is most useful for when your token has expired and you want to delay the next check	true	Boolean
