    Introducing Plugin - Homekit Controller Lite Plugin

    Plugin to add and control IP based homekit devices directly without intermediary. This plugin acts as a homekit controller. It does not intend to be as complete and polished as Apple's homekit controller. It creates devices in the homeseer corresponding to accessories & characteristics exposed by the homekit device.

    Features
    • Pair and unpair IP based homekit devices
    • Supports setting values in homekit devices via homeseer devices.
    • Listens to the events in the homekit devices and updates the corresponding homeseer devices & features.
    • Select which characteristics show up as feature in homeseer devices.
    Tested With
    • Ecobee Thermostat
    • Philips Hue
    • Few Meross outlets
    • Various open source homekit servers.
    Instructions
    • Add a new Device using Homekit Controller Lite Menu.
      • Make sure you enter the pincode in xxx-xx-xxx format.
      • You can also re-pair an existing device using same menu and selecting it in first option.
    • By default, only the primary service characteristics are added as features. If you want additional features, select them through the detail page for the device. Only the text based & number based ones are supported.

    On Windows 11, if pairing fails with "Could not initialize platform-specific components..." you need to install VC++ runtime. These dlls are missing from Windows 11 fresh installs.

    Install the VC++ Runtime
