All rights reserved. This repository provides a standalone installation of the command-line tools from [Homebridge NB](https://github.com/ebaauw/homebridge-nb): Tool | Description --------- | ----------- `nb ` | Interact with Nuki bridge from command line. Each command-line tool takes a `-h` or `--help` argument to provide a brief overview of its functionality and command-line arguments. ### Prerequisites Homebridge NB communicates with the Nuki Bridge using the local [Nuki Bridge HTTP API](https://developer.nuki.io/page/nuki-bridge-http-api-1-12/4). You need to enable this API through the Nuki app. ### Installation ``` $ sudo npm -g i hb-nb-tools ``` Homebridge NB Tools uses [`sodium-plus`](https://github.com/paragonie/sodium-plus) for [encrypted tokens](https://developer.nuki.io/t/bridge-beta-fw-1-22-1-2-14-0-with-new-encrypted-bridge-http-api-token/15816). This optional dependency contains C++ modules, that might need to be compiled on installation. In case you want to install Homebridge NB Tools on a system that doesn't include the build tools needed for this, you might need to skip installation of `sodium-plus` by ``` $ sudo npm -g i hb-nb-tools --omit=optional ``` Homebrdige NB Tools reverts to hashed tokens when `sodium-plus` isn't installed.
