(Previously resin-homebridge-wemo)
Balena Docker container preconfigured for Wemo operation.
I'm currently running my setup on a Hummingboard but this can be adapted for any other type of board that they support. More info on what boards Balena supports and to download the image for the device you have go here.
Balena's documentation is awesome. Feel free to look at it here. Otherwise see below:
- Install dependencies. On Mac, Node is the only thing you may need to install. Homebrew works best here.
brew install node
- Download and install the
balena-cli:
npm install --global --production --unsafe-perm balena-cli
-
Download your image from the download link if you haven't already.
-
Modify the image to your liking by using the cli.
$ sudo resin local configure ~/Downloads/resin.img
? Network SSID Wolff Den
? Network Key This is not our password.
? Do you want to set advanced settings? Yes
? Device Hostname resin
? Do you want to enable persistent logging? no
Done!
- "Flash" the image to an SD card. Make sure you have a free device to write to!
$ sudo resin local flash ~/Downloads/resin.img
Password:
? Select drive (Use arrow keys)
❯ /dev/disk1 (32 GB) - RESIN
-
Wait for the process to complete and then eject the card. Pop it into the device you've configured the image for.
-
Once booted, you should be able to ping the device.
ping resin.local

-
Modify the
config.jsonfile to your liking. Highly suggest changing the pin to something different as this is the one that Homebridge uses in their examples. -
Also, feel free to modify the Dockerfile to match your needs. In this example the only thing that you may want to change is the image name. By default I have
hummingboard-node:latestas the main image. More info about what’s available go here. -
You can now push the included Homebridge Docker file and associated files directly to your embedded device.
sudo balena local push balena.local --source .
Note: this will take several minutes as it will be building the docker image on the embedded device. This takes much less time using the Resin.io platoform as it builds on your local machine and then sent to the embedded device as a complete image
- Wait to see the output from Homebridge indicating it's running.
rdt push completed successfully!
