Community Module: HomeKit

Post by vga »

Hi everyone,

are there any news about the community Module for HomeKit?
Would be nice to get some information about development state and when to expect it.

best regards,

Homebridge is not that hard to setup but I found it better to setup on a second raspberry pi rather than sharing with my Z-Way install. It worked on my rpi2 with both installed but the whole thing crashed after a few days. It's been runniing fine for a couple of weeks with Z-Way on the rpi2 and Homebridge on a rpiB+.

As an added bonus, there are modules for Nest and other devices as well as Z-Way which all integrate with Homebridge.

There's a little more setup involved to get this working than the function that used to be built into Z-way but Homekit seems to work much better with Homebridge.

May I ask what versions you are using. I followed this guide: https://github.com/nfarina/homebridge/w ... spberry-Pi and installed z-way server 2.2.1, homebridge 0.2.8 and homebridge-zway 0.4.0. I get a parse error in my error log when I try to start the homebridge server. I cant however access the login api correctly. I just get this message: Uncaught TypeError: 'Cannot read property 'call' of undefined'
