| 1 | +# Copilot Instructions for Homebridge August Plugin |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +## Repository Overview |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +This is a Homebridge plugin that provides HomeKit integration for August and Yale smart locks. The plugin is written in TypeScript with ES modules and follows Homebridge platform patterns. |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +**Branch Strategy**: This repository uses a beta-first development workflow where all changes must target beta branches before being merged to main. Version bumps are determined by issue labels (patch/minor/major) that must be set before assigning work to Copilot. |
| 8 | + |

| 37 | +## Development Workflow |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +### Branch Strategy and PR Workflow |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +**IMPORTANT**: All pull requests must target a beta branch first, never directly to the main branch. |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +#### Beta Branch Requirements |
| 44 | +- All PRs must be directed to a branch that starts with "beta-" |
| 45 | +- Beta branches should be named `beta-X.Y.Z` based on the expected version bump |
| 46 | +- If no appropriate beta branch exists, create one based on the next possible version: |
| 47 | + - **patch** releases (bug fixes): `beta-X.Y.Z+1` (e.g., current 3.0.2 → beta-3.0.3) |
| 48 | + - **minor** releases (new features): `beta-X.Y+1.0` (e.g., current 3.0.2 → beta-3.1.0) |
| 49 | + - **major** releases (breaking changes): `beta-X+1.0.0` (e.g., current 3.0.2 → beta-4.0.0) |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +#### Required Labels |
| 52 | +Before assigning any issue to Copilot, the following labels **must** be set to determine the version bump: |
| 53 | +- `patch` - for bug fixes and minor improvements |
| 54 | +- `minor` - for new features and enhancements |
| 55 | +- `major` - for breaking changes |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +#### Workflow Steps |
| 58 | +1. Ensure proper label (patch/minor/major) is set on the issue |
| 59 | +2. Identify or create appropriate beta branch based on the label |
| 60 | +3. Target all development work and PRs to the beta branch |
| 61 | +4. Once beta testing is complete, merge beta branch to main for release |
| 62 | + |

| 95 | + |
| 96 | +## Coding Standards |
| 97 | + |
| 98 | +1. **TypeScript**: |
| 99 | + - ES2022 target with bundler module resolution |
| 100 | + - Strict mode enabled (except noImplicitAny: false) |
| 101 | + - Use ES modules with `.js` file extensions in imports |
| 102 | + - Generate declaration files and source maps |
| 103 | + |
| 104 | +2. **ESLint**: |
| 105 | + - Antfu ESLint config as base |
| 106 | + - Custom rules for import ordering (perfectionist) |
| 107 | + - JSDoc alignment enforcement |
| 108 | + - Multi-line curly braces only |
| 109 | + - Consistent quote props |
| 110 | + - Test-specific rules (no-only-tests) |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | +3. **Code Style**: |
| 113 | + - Use 1TBS brace style with single line allowed |
| 114 | + - Sort imports by type (builtin, external, internal, relative) |
| 115 | + - Sort named imports and exports |
| 116 | + - Use proper JSDoc formatting and alignment |
| 117 | + |
| 118 | +4. **Homebridge Patterns**: |
| 119 | + - Implement DynamicPlatformPlugin interface |
| 120 | + - Use proper platform registration in index.ts |
| 121 | + - Follow accessory lifecycle management |
| 122 | + - Implement proper logging with Homebridge logger |
| 123 | + - Use PlatformAccessory for device management |
| 124 | + |
| 125 | +5. **Error Handling**: |
| 126 | + - Proper try-catch blocks for async operations |
| 127 | + - Meaningful error messages with context |
| 128 | + - Graceful degradation for API failures |
| 129 | + |
| 130 | +## Homebridge Specifics |
| 131 | + |
| 132 | +- **Platform Type**: Dynamic platform plugin (not accessory plugin) |
| 133 | +- **Platform Name**: "August" (defined in settings.ts) |
| 134 | +- **Plugin Name**: "homebridge-august" (must match package.json name) |
| 135 | +- **Configuration Schema**: Uses config.schema.json with custom UI |
| 136 | +- **Custom UI**: Located in src/homebridge-ui/ with custom configuration interface |
| 137 | +- **Platform Class**: AugustPlatform extends DynamicPlatformPlugin |
| 138 | +- **Device Management**: Uses PlatformAccessory for caching and state management |
| 139 | +- **HAP Services**: Implement LockMechanism service for smart locks |
| 140 | +- **Authentication**: Handle August API authentication with validation codes |
| 141 | +- **Rate Limiting**: Implement proper refresh/update/push rates for API calls |
| 142 | + |
| 143 | +## August/Yale Integration |
| 144 | + |
| 145 | +- **API Package**: Uses `august-yale` npm package for API communication |
| 146 | +- **Authentication Flow**: |
| 147 | + 1. User provides augustId (email/phone) and password |
| 148 | + 2. System sends validation code to user |
| 149 | + 3. User enters validation code to complete authentication |
| 150 | + 4. API credentials are stored and used for subsequent requests |
| 151 | +- **Device Types**: Support multiple lock types (August Smart Lock, Yale Assure Lock variants) |
| 152 | +- **State Synchronization**: Keep HomeKit state in sync with August/Yale API |
| 153 | +- **Polling**: Implement configurable refresh rates for device state updates |
| 154 | +- **Configuration**: Use credentials interface for API authentication settings |
| 155 | + |
| 156 | +## When Making Changes |
| 157 | + |
| 158 | +**CRITICAL**: Before starting any work, ensure the issue has the appropriate label (patch/minor/major) and target the correct beta branch. |
| 159 | + |
| 160 | +0. **Branch Targeting**: |
| 161 | + - Never target PRs directly to main branch |
| 162 | + - Always target a beta branch (beta-X.Y.Z format) |
| 163 | + - Create beta branch if none exists for the expected version |
| 164 | + - Use issue labels to determine version bump: |
| 165 | + - `patch`: Bug fixes → beta-X.Y.Z+1 |
| 166 | + - `minor`: New features → beta-X.Y+1.0 |
| 167 | + - `major`: Breaking changes → beta-X+1.0.0 |
| 168 | + |
| 169 | +1. **Dependencies**: |
| 170 | + - Only add well-maintained dependencies |
| 171 | + - Keep runtime dependencies minimal |
| 172 | + - Update package.json and package-lock.json properly |
| 173 | + - Consider bundle size impact |
| 174 | + |
| 175 | +2. **Breaking Changes**: |

| 206 | +## Common Patterns |
| 207 | + |
| 208 | +- **RxJS**: Use reactive programming patterns where appropriate |
| 209 | +- **Async/Await**: Prefer async/await over Promise chains |
| 210 | +- **ES Modules**: Use ES module syntax with `.js` extensions in imports |
| 211 | +- **Interface Design**: Define clear TypeScript interfaces in settings.ts |
| 212 | +- **Error Handling**: Implement comprehensive error handling with meaningful messages |
| 213 | +- **Logging**: Use this.log with appropriate log levels (info, warn, error, debug) |
| 214 | +- **Device Lifecycle**: Implement proper setup/cleanup in platform methods |
| 215 | +- **Configuration Validation**: Validate user configuration and provide helpful error messages |
| 216 | +- **API Rate Limiting**: Respect August API rate limits with configurable intervals |
| 217 | +- **State Management**: Maintain device state consistency between API and HomeKit |
| 218 | + |
| 219 | +## Important Constants and Settings |
| 220 | + |
| 221 | +- **PLATFORM_NAME**: "August" (used in Homebridge registration) |
| 222 | +- **PLUGIN_NAME**: "homebridge-august" (must match package.json) |
| 223 | +- **Plugin Type**: "platform" (not accessory) |
| 224 | +- **Custom UI**: Enabled with path "./dist/homebridge-ui" |
| 225 | +- **Configuration**: Uses credentials and options interfaces |
| 226 | +- **Device Types**: Support for various August and Yale lock models |
| 227 | + |
| 228 | +## Testing Guidelines |
| 229 | + |
| 230 | +- **Framework**: Use Vitest for testing with TypeScript support |
| 231 | +- **Test Files**: Name test files with `.test.ts` extension in src/ |
| 232 | +- **Coverage**: Aim for good test coverage, use `npm run test-coverage` |
| 233 | +- **Mocking**: Mock external dependencies, especially: |
| 234 | + - August/Yale API calls |
| 235 | + - Homebridge API interactions |
| 236 | + - File system operations |
| 237 | +- **Test Categories**: |
| 238 | + - Unit tests for individual functions and classes |
| 239 | + - Integration tests for platform initialization |
| 240 | + - Configuration validation tests |
| 241 | + - Error handling tests |
| 242 | +- **Test Data**: Use realistic test data that matches August API responses |
| 243 | +- **Async Testing**: Properly test async operations and promises |
| 244 | +- **CI/CD**: Ensure tests run in continuous integration pipeline |
| 245 | + |
| 246 | +## Files to Avoid Modifying |
| 247 | + |
| 248 | +- `dist/` directory (generated by TypeScript compilation) |
| 249 | +- `node_modules/` directory (managed by npm) |
| 250 | +- `docs/` directory (generated by TypeDoc) |
| 251 | +- `.git/` directory and git metadata |
| 252 | +- Files listed in `.gitignore` |
| 253 | +- `package-lock.json` (only modify through npm commands) |
| 254 | + |
| 255 | +## Security Considerations |
| 256 | + |
| 257 | +- **Credentials**: Never log or expose user credentials |
| 258 | +- **API Keys**: Handle August API credentials securely |
| 259 | +- **Validation**: Validate all user inputs |
| 260 | +- **Error Messages**: Don't expose sensitive information in error messages |
| 261 | +- **Storage**: Store credentials securely using Homebridge storage mechanisms |
