There have been some questions about how to handle Homebridge, (HB), autostart at power on and restart at failure using Raspberry Pi OS  systemd .  Please note that, in the later versions, the HB installation handles this !! I have written a post how to manually set it up but now in this post I will present a script which handles it automagically !!  Despite this simple set up I recommend using the app " hb-service", which is installed together with "homebridge-config-ui-x" How to install HB is found here !

With HomeBridge installed on a Raspberry Pi, (RPi), You just install the homebridge-ring plugin and the Ring accessories will appear in Apple HomeKit This post will cover the Ring video doorbell but is a guide for other Ring products. Prerequisites Homebridge Ring doorbell Ring account

Updated 2020-01-13 ! OpenPlotter is; A complete boat navigation system Includes OpenCPN, Chart plotter navigation OpenSource, so it's free !

          Updated 2019-09-20 ! This Blogpost was initially made before the IKEA outlets was enabled in the Apple Home app. They could then just be reached via a Tradfri Homebridge plugin .  Since a while blinds are supported by this plugin but not by the IKEA Gateway and app so maybe its time again to install it ? Another post covers the installation of the Trådfri gateway with a HomeKit approach . (Without Homebridge) Other  HomeKit posts  on this Blogg

In a former post I used Homebridge on a Raspberry Pi , to make Z-wave devices appear in the Apple Home app, but there is a simpler and faster, way. Start with the install of the Razberry card or upgrade to Z-way V3.0.0 Other  HomeKit posts  on this Blogg

Updated 2019-08-10 ! New to Node-Red(NR) and maybe start with a simple application You can benefit direct from ? This application is measuring Your Internet connection at chosen intervals using Speedtest.net  and showing the result in a graph. If the speed is under a set value it will send You an email. New ! better version  !

My thoughts, about NMEA WiFi have finalized ? since my first post in the subject  and the Yacht Devices YDWG-02N is now installed in my NMEA2000/ST/NMEA0183 network and works just fine.  I'm already using Raymarine ST => ST NG converter but otherwise I had bought the YDNR-02  instead which should have done the same job. Please find some thoughts from the installation below.

Updated 2019-05-11 ! My old Mac Book Air, mid 2011, didn't support the latest MacOS, Mojave. So after some checking I found this brilliant fix  which did the job. This guy have really done a fantastic job with great instructions and even a Youtube video .
