Node-RED Node to simulate Apple HomeKit Accessories.

Based on HAP-NodeJS.

The HomeKit Node is used to create and configure virtual devices (Accessories) according to the HomeKit specification.

Currently, Accessories can only consist of one Service (Fan, Outlet, Thermostat etc) each. You can of course create as many Accessories as you want.

Bridged Accessories are not supported at this time.

Choose the desired Service in the configuration dialog and deploy the flow. The pinCode, which will be needed during pairing, is being displayed underneath the Node.

Input messages can be used to update any Characteristic that the selected Service provides. Simply pass the values-to-update as msg.payload object.

Example: to signal that an Outlet is turned on and in use, send the following payload

{
    "On": 1,
    "OutletInUse": 1
}

Hint: to find out what Characteristics you can address, just send a non-object-payload (e.g. a Timestamp) and watch the debug tab ;)

Output messages are in the same format as input messages. They are emitted from the node when it receives Characteristics updates from a paired iOS device.
