This add-on provides the installation, configuration, and integration for Homebridge.
This add-on is in a deprecated state!
At this point it is unsure how long this add-on keeps available or updated.
This add-on was originally developed to add HomeKit support to Home Assistant. Meanwhile, Home Assistant gained native support for HomeKit.

Because of this, is very likely that the plugins this add-on rely, on will no longer be developed or maintained.
We STRONGLY suggest to migrate to the Home Assistant HomeKit component.
Homebridge is a server that emulates the iOS HomeKit API, allowing you to control your Home Assistant via Apple devices (including Siri).
Since Siri supports devices added through HomeKit, this means that with Homebridge you can ask Siri to control devices that don't have any support for HomeKit at all. For instance, you could say:
- Siri, unlock the back door.
- Siri, open the garage door.
- Siri, turn on the coffee maker.
- Siri, turn on the living room lights.
- Siri, good morning!
