With Insteon I couldn't get it authenticated because my login credentials where not accepted, so I looked for an other app and found the Homekit app Eve which has no subscription and worked flawless also with Siri in dutch.
Echoing, thanks for making/enhancing/sharing and documenting all this, looks really neat.
I seem to have two problems - the Eve app tells me that to use Homekit I need to enable iCloud Keychain on my iPhone, so go to Settings / iCloud - not Keychain or Passbook items listed - anybody know how to get this item back?
Running homebridge I get a nice set of errors - it looks like I might have too many devices and the port number goes into an illegal range? Or have I forgotten a set-up step?

can anyone tell me how the 'secret' key is generated? I hope it is not based on the 'idx' value alone ?

Yes on ios 8.3, also missing my iPad. I assume it is not a country feature of the UK?

I have tried Googling extensively, I now know that this the keychain was removed from the IOS 7.0.0 gold master at the last moment, only to be introduced properly in 7.0.1 etc., but I can't find a fix, everything tells you how to enable / disable the feature using the switch / button I haven't got.
Google is great, but large amounts material on one topic will bury a niche issue with a similar description, but I will keep looking.

Any successful installs on a Pi model B (the 1, not the 2)?
npm install just hangs for more than an hour and than says "killed"
No way of logging on to the pi in the mean time.
I followed the wiki to the letter.
TIA

That is possible, but it is system specific, so I have to figure all system start-up parameters out first.
Thats true
Maybe you could add a how-to to the domoticz wiki ?
i created a pull request:
https://github.com/nfarina/homebridge/pull/25
Implemented:
- Added support for RGB lights
- Added support for Scenes
- Sorting device names
Does this mean we can control scenes in domoticz using Siri?
Sorry for the dumb question, last time I tinkered with this it was with iOS 6 and that was great controlling domoticz with Siri Proxy.

I also have installed EVE. However it seems that Siri only accepts 'On' commands. If I try to turn off devices Siri says (in Dutch) that he can't do it. I also have renamed all my devices in Dutch.

i have it set on english, and can control on a room (insteon) called "Living room"
i say to siri, "Turn on Living Room" and the lights go on, and "Turn off Living Room" and the lights go off
i would expect in dutch it would be something like "Schakel Living Room uit"

Mine is set to dutch and I made a room 'Huiskamer' in Eve.
I say to Siri: 'Zet huiskamer aan' or 'Zet huiskamer uit', both work perfect also for the other rooms.

It works after restarting it again "npm run start". But when I say to Siri: Doe de 'mechanische Ventilatie aan' then Siri replies with 'Ok, het licht is ingeschakeld'. The switch of the Mechanische Ventilatie turns on but its not a light of course. Any suggestions?

Great work guys, I have an Apple Watch also so hoping it works from that also. I see the wiki for installing what's required on the Pi however what's next after that? How do I add the scenes and light switches? Is it with that insteon app or eve app? Is that on the iPhone? It wasn't mentioned in the wiki.. I also read about the pin code to add devices..
Thanks for you help guys. And great work to get this working in such a short space of time. Kudos to all!!
Edit:- Found and installed the insteon+ app. Will be installing the bits on the pi soon.. Wish me luck. Cheers guys!
