This looks dooable: https://github.com/nfarina/homebridge. It appears one can run this server on a pi and send http commands from there to control server. I'll probably try it when I get home. I know the vera people are using it. Anyone else?

Homekit and Homeseer
I literally just followed the directions on the link. I put it on a rasberry pi and I use a program called winscp to alter the config file because I don't know much about linux. I got the idea from a vera thread here: http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php?topic=31716.0. Apparently someone in that thread has a how-to with windows using node.js here: http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.p...=31716.65;wap2

Homekit and Homeseer
Very cool tip. Got it working on Ubuntu Server
Code:sudo apt-get install libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev git delete nodes if installed already sudo apt-get purge nodejs npm curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_0.12 | sudo bash - sudo apt-get install -y nodejs npm --version 2.11.3 node --version v0.12.7 git clone https://github.com/nfarina/homebridge.git cd homebridge npm update npm install

No you can't. I have a nest though so it can tell you the status of that using the nest platform...

Homekit and Homeseer

I wonder if HS is planning on native home kit integration? It'd kind of kill off their hstouch app though.
I would say no. They would have to have a hardware device, perhaps the z-net to include a chip for homekit. Sounds like it may make things more expensive. http://www.eetimes.com/document.asp?doc_id=1327267

I'm working on a package to run Homebridge on Windows (because most HSPRO installs are on Windows). Then you have no need to run another box (raspberry) for Homebridge.
I've a working situation in my test environment and will do some tests on my production installation. If I get it stable enough I will share my results!

As I'm based in the Netherlands too, please let me know if I can help beta test. I like your (windows based) approach and I'm very interested in integrating HS with Homekit.
Thanks..Regards,
