Register with a sleep proxy to wake homebridge during MacOS sleep #9

Describe Your Problem:
Forgive the blue sky noob question. I have homebridge working well on MacOS. Obviously the service is unavailable during MacOS sleep (and I could/should commission a Rpi).

However, as confirmed by _dns-sd -B _sleep-proxy.udp local I have available sleep proxies on the LAN (HomePod, Airport, AppleTV etc). Other services successfully wake MacOS as necessary. Wouldn’t it be cool if MacOS woke when I used HomeKit?

I considered registering the homebridge service with the proxy (dns-sd -R...) but I don’t know the requisite port/service details. I poked around Node.js and homebridge forums and searches but got nobody trying/succeeding to do this.

  • Am I asking the impossible?
  • Anyone considered this?
  • It seems naively straightforward for homebridge to register itself (or I register it) with a sleep proxy...

Best wishes all!
