Ok - I thought maybe this from your earlier post might have caused some confusion:

No its still homebridge - just not “homebridge” the external running server app that is common and was the basis for the previous plugin. (The one runnning on node.js).
This uses a python 3 library to create a homebridge server all by itself.
Calling what the python 3 library creates "homebridge" isn't really accurate and only leads to confusion. The library creates HomeKit Bridge devices (correct me if I'm wrong here) - which are logically similar to the
homebridge software but are not the same. I want to make sure that we keep this clear in everyone's mind because there has been a huge amount of confusion in the past that has caused some ill-will.
In fact, Glenn, would you like me to go ahead and create a subforum for your plugin in your forum? What should I name it? I think it's time that we separate discussion of your plugin from the HomeKit Bridge plugin discussion. A clean start if you will (though I can move this topic over there).
And to further clarify, nobody yet has stepped up to update the HomeKit Bridge plugin to work with python 3 - it would be a very large task.
We are so happy that Glenn has taken this important integration on - I think it's going to be significantly easier to use and more reliable.
