[rionshin]

@nfarina Could you please check will this plugin be impacted with new HomeBridge 2.0 and could we have it update it to support it.

**Receiving this message in Homebridge today.

is there any support this community can provide to assist in this remediation?**

[SawkeeReemo]

Please. 🙏 I rely on these too much.

Notably once the plugin is tested for v2.0, updating the package.json's engines.homebridge value is how this plugin can get that green check.

Comparing the plugin code to what's written here, it appears that there are no actual code changes necessary and simply updating the package.json should suffice:

I might test this later today and if it works, I'll open a PR.
Edit: I sadly didn't get around to test this yet because some other stuff came up but I hope to be able to do so within 1-2 weeks.

@mserajnik Were you ever able to test this for compatibility?

+1 for Homebridge 2.0 support

[Fofer]

I came here to request the same. Happy New Year to all!

Bump on this issue; this is a core homebridge plugin used by many.

Should be fairly easy to check for compatibility with 2.0?

[TesterTi]

I have just tested the plugin on beta23 of v2.0.0 and all seems to be working fine (for my setup)

[Lammiwinks]

Thanks, +1 for this too. Is this project abandoned?

[JasonGoldenDDT]

If the project has been abandoned, has anyone found a stable alternative? Can this project be transferred to a new developer?

If it's not abandoned can we understand the roadblocks so the community can assist?

Sorry for the delay. I finally got around to test it and like @TesterTi can also confirm it works for me; I've opened a PR accordingly.

Hello,

I developed the plugin @vandubois/homebridge-virtual-switch that is Homebridge 2.0 ready and may be able to do what you need. It can be set to be persistent (or not), timed (or not), normally open (or closed).
(I needed it to check the Homebridge log file for certain log messages to appear – hence the development.)
