serial
allows you to change the serial number to a custom value if you need it.
batt_topic
, charge_topic
and bat_low_perc
are for battery powered sensors.
batt_low_perc
overrides the default 20% value.charge_topic
is for charging state. It requires values of either 0 or 1 for off and on respectively.
refresh_topic
lets you publish to a topic to refresh the current temperature value. This is useful in cases where your device publishes infrequently and you need an update between intervals. It requires your device to monitor this topic for requests. A request will published everytime homebridge makes a request, for example on opening the app.
All five options are are optional as well as username
and password
if you don't use MQTT authentication.
