homebridge-doorsensor

This is a plugin for homebridge which can either monitor 1) a contact / door sensor connected to power and a GPIO pin or 2) a file populated with a 1 or a 0 that serves the same purpose. My configuration uses a reed switch connected to numbered pins 17 (3.3v DC Power) and 18 (GPIO_GEN5). The other option is to use a file popluated with a 0 or a 1 by an external application. This plugin will read the file to determine the sensor state. The flipBehavior flag allows you to switch the reported status.
