Config for external temperature source
See below for a working setup to pipe in the temperature for a Phillips Hue motion sensor into the `temperatureFilePath` that was introduced in [v3.0.5](https://github.com/lprhodes/homebridge-broadlink-rm/issues/244). This is written from the perspective of a Raspberry Pi user, but it should work on any Unix based system

Prerequisites:
- [ ] Philips Hue motion sensor
- [ ] Philips Hue API account [follow the steps here]  (https://www.developers.meethue.com/documentation/getting-started)
- [ ] A machine that runs python (I used v2.7.10) and crontab (RPi is perfect for this)

1 - Get your API data:
Register for an API with Hue using the above link. Then, you'll need to find the specific sensor that you want to get data from. This will look something like `http://<HUE_BRIDGE_IP_ADDRESS>/api/<USER_ID>/sensors`. 
If you have multiple sensors, you'll need to find which one is the right one from the JSON response (try looking at the name of the sensor vs the name in the hue app). Once you have found it, add the number to the end of your URL 
(like this `http://<HUE_BRIDGE_IP_ADDRESS>/api/<USER_ID>/sensors/**5**`. 
If you paste this URL in your browser, you will get the response for one motion sensor only, which is what we want.

2 - Get your system ready
Install the 'requests' package for python on the Pi (or whatever machine you're using) with `apt-get install python-requests`

3 - Edit this python script with your Hue API data 
Replace 'http://HUE_BRIDGE_IP_ADDRESS/api/USER_ID/sensors/NUMBER' with your required information

```#!/usr/bin/python
import requests
import json
response = requests.get('http://HUE_BRIDGE_IP_ADDRESS/api/USER_ID/sensors/NUMBER')
json_data = json.loads(response.text)
temp = int(json_data['state']['temperature']) /100
f = open( '/var/homebridge/temp', 'w' )
f.write(str(temp))
f.close()
```

Save this file as 'temp.py'. This script looks at the data from the API call, parses the rest of the JSON out to have just the temperature data (which is a 4 digit number, 2476 = 24.76C degrees), divides the 4 digit number by 100 to get a 2 digit number, then adds it to a file called 'temp' which lives /var/homebridge (this should create the file called 'temp' if it does not already exist). 

Unfortunately this does not round the numbers very well. For example, if the response from the API is 2499 (24.99 degrees C), then the 2 digit number will be '24', not '25'. This can be fixed with 'round' or 'float' in the python, but I haven't done that yet (maybe v2).

In terminal, navigate to where temp.py is located (e.g. `cd /var/homebridge,` then run `chmod a+x temp.py`.

4 - Set up a cronjob to make the python script run every minute
On your Pi run 'crontab -e'. You may see a few options for where you want cron to run from, I don't think it maters which one you pick. I set this script to run every minute using `* * * * * /var/homebridge/temp.py`. You can use [this handy website](https://crontab.guru) to find how to use cron and what options to use for different times. Using '* * * * *' means it will run every minute.

5 - Edit you config.json file
In your config.json file, the path for 'temperatureFilePath' should be "/var/homebridge/temp". 

That's it! You should now have your temperature value piping into your Air Conditioner. Comment if you have any troubles and I'll do my best to help. Thanks to @lprhodes for the plugin!
