A C library implementing an Apple HomeKit accessory server for ESP8266 microcontrollers, built for esp-open-rtos with ESP-IDF 4.x/5.x support. It lets firmware expose devices like lights as HomeKit accessories pairable via the Apple Home app, including QR code pairing.
Use cases
- make an esp8266 device show up in apple home app
- build a homekit-compatible smart light with esp8266
- pair esp32/esp8266 accessory via QR code
- implement homekit accessory server in C firmware
- control diy hardware with siri
When to choose
- you want native HomeKit support on ESP8266/ESP32 without a bridge
- you're building custom smart-home firmware in C
- you need QR-code pairing with a static setup code
When to avoid
- you need a maintained library with active development
- you're not using esp-open-rtos or ESP-IDF
- you want HomeKit support on non-Espressif hardware
