During the “What’s new in HomeKit” session developers were told that HomeKit smart devices—that had previously had to go through extensive testing and include a special cryptographic chip for authentication — can now use software based authentication, and be self-certified. You can in fact now even build your HomeKit devices out of an Arduino, or a Raspberry Pi.

Of course you could sort of do that before using something called HomeBridge—a lightweight NodeJS server you can run on your home network that emulates the iOS HomeKit API—as it’s pretty easy to get HomeBridge running on the Raspberry Pi.

What’s different now is that, amongst other things, you don’t have to fear a DMCA take down notice from Apple.
But also that your microcontroller-based HomeKit device can talk directly to your phone, without going through a bridge.

I've added a few Mi-Lights to my domoticz. These are rgb+cct bulbs. I also have a few rgb strip controllers.

These appear as the same type of switch in domoticz, but when I add them to homebridge, I can't change the colour/temperature of the rgb+cct bulb but it's available for the rgb strips (through HomeKit).

Any idea why HomeKit/homebridge isn't giving me that option with the rgb+cct bulbs?

Thanks.

I am having trouble with scenes in the Home and Eve apps.

If I run a scene for example "Good Night" which in turn throws a switch in Domoticz, that is fine but if I try and run it again it does not respond. The only way to make it respond is to go into the Home app and toggle the scene to "Off".

Has anyone seen this behaviour?

TIA

I had the same problem.
Basically homebride doesn't recognised Domoticz Scenes. So obviously the workaround is to create a dummy switch that triggers the scene. So because these are switches, they either stay on or off. Homekit doesn't work with push on switches either. The way to get it to function, is to set an off delay on the switch. That way, afer you use it to trigger the scene, it will turn itself off shortly afterwards. Allowing you to reuse it later.
