HomeKit 2020
summary
Overview of HomeKit basics, the bridge concept, and concrete DIY paths: Homebridge runs on Node.js and exposes otherwise unsupported devices to HomeKit with 2000+ open-source plugins, controllable via APIs, IR or serial. HomeKit ADK is open-sourced (Dec 2019) and lets devices be natively HAP-compatible; the repo includes a macOS sample accessory that is buildable and logs state changes. Example: a rebuilt sample invokes an external script to send a Slack message when a virtual bulb turns on. Raspberry Pi is a common runtime option.
