Set brightness of LED using Siri/HomeKit

[ibrahim.nezar (Ibrahim)]

Hi,

This might be a very basic and naive question, just can’t find any answers or guides to it anywhere online.

I’m trying to control the brightness of LED with PWM on Raspberry Pi using Siri and HomeKit. From what I see, the items in the /etc/openhab2/items has few options for HomeKit and they seem to be kind of limited or mysterious to me :). I’m guessing this might need some variables to be set and some rules maybe.

Would you mind helping or guiding me to the right method of doing it?

Appreciate your help.
Thanks

How to ask a good question / Help Us Help You

Before you ask… Community forum is NOT a helpdesk Let’s put this in the front: nobody here works for openHAB. The community members are helping with an Open Source Project, not a commercial software. Additionally, the forum is NOT dealing with general Home Automation topics, the focus is on openHAB. In some cases, various products or technologies which are not directly linked to openHAB can be discussed but with the proper title, category or tag. We are ALL volunteering our free time to help…

It is not a wrong question. It is just badly asked.

Read the docs

Probably, read the docs, do the tutorials, write your code and when it doesn’t work, ask your question again

As per my reply before, see item #8 of the post above. You can’t just barge in here and ask for code ready made for you.
