homekit2mqtt
A bridge that connects Apple HomeKit to MQTT, enabling Siri and HomeKit app control of MQTT-based smart home devices.
What is homekit2mqtt?
homekit2mqtt is an open-source bridge that connects Apple's HomeKit smart home platform to devices using the MQTT communication protocol. It solves the problem of integrating non-HomeKit-certified, MQTT-based IoT devices—like DIY sensors, lights, or cameras—into the Apple Home app, allowing them to be controlled via Siri and other HomeKit interfaces.
DIY smart home enthusiasts, home automation tinkerers, and developers who have MQTT-based devices and want to integrate them into Apple's HomeKit ecosystem without proprietary hubs.
Developers choose homekit2mqtt because it provides a flexible, open-source way to bring virtually any MQTT device into HomeKit, avoiding vendor lock-in and leveraging the extensive mqtt-smarthome ecosystem for a unified smart home setup.
