Hello-
I wanted to open the question on the forums about the eventual possibility to integrate HomeKit devices with Indigo. That is, taking a Homekit supported device (or perhaps one that is not supported but has a HomeBridge plugin), and being able to read state, and control the devices in Indigo as a HomeKit client. I'm curious what this community thinks is the most likely path for if and when this will happen, either in a Apple-supported way, or via an unsupported way.
What got me thinking about this is that Homebridge has the UI plugin with a web-based dashboard allowing you to control devices. Granted, this only works for Homebridge devices, and not your entire HomeKit. As I understand it, they implement the HAP protocol: https://github.com/homebridge/HAP-NodeJS. Does anyone know if this can be used to control your entire HomeKit setup?
Another possibility would be if Apple continues to bring Shortcuts to the Mac, and integration with HomeKit is possible that way.
Why do this?
Clearly, there may be HomeKit devices that are introduced that the Indigo community would like to have and integrate into their existing Indigo solution.
Another benefit I thought of was: HomeBridge has one of the healthiest plugin communities out there, and this could allow for a HomeBridge plugin to be used in replacement of a Indigo plugin. For example, the Nest plugin for Homebridge supports Google logins and is much better supported than our own Indigo plugin.
Interested in the thoughts of others on feasibility and best technical approach. And, how well the HomeKit API will map to Indigo's device profiles.
