| homebridge-roomba-stv | Partly works | Setup of blid and password via getrobotpwd was difficult; resolved with prefix path fix or DoritaSaved copySo here was the issue, for some reason NPM was not properly running the script in the correct place. Here is how I fixed it: In a node.is command prompt, run ‘npm -g prefix’ to find where your plug-ins are installed. Then navigate to the main folder of that plugin by going to the above directory and opening a command prompt there. After doing so, run the getrobotpwd command to obtain the info for the plug-in.

In ReReHome
Once a Homebridge plugin publishes it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Homebridge bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
