2.0 HomeKit
The final stage (stage 11) of the alarm system installer provides a fully scripted install of the HAP-NodeJS HomeKit Accessory Server by KhaosT. To make this work you will need...
- Raspberry Pi 2 or better
- iPhone running iOS 9.1 or later
- Internet enabled Wi-Fi LAN connection
- Wi-Fi assist disabled on your iPhone
Before you can use the HomeKit interface, you need pair your iPhone with your HomeBridge. The pairing process requires a lot of CPU, and generates a lot of network traffic as the HomeKit database is synchronised between your iPhone, your Raspberry Pi and the Cloud. This is the part that requires the patience, as it is likely to time out and fail, so you may need to repeat the pairing process a few times before it succeeds.
I've added a couple of dedicated buttons to the WebApp that allow the whole HomeKit configuration to be created or reset entirely through the WebApp. So there is no need to open up terminal sessions, or file managers, or anything like that.
