Apple's open-source HomeKit Accessory Development Kit implementing the HomeKit Accessory Protocol (HAP) in C. It lets developers prototype non-commercial HomeKit-compatible smart home accessories; commercial use requires Apple's MFi Program.

Use cases

  • build HomeKit-compatible smart home accessories
  • prototype a HomeKit light bulb or sensor
  • implement the HomeKit Accessory Protocol on embedded hardware
  • test HomeKit device pairing and security
  • integrate a custom device with Apple Home

When to choose

  • you are prototyping a non-commercial HomeKit accessory
  • you are a silicon vendor evaluating HomeKit support
  • you want a reference C implementation of HAP

When to avoid

  • you want to ship commercial HomeKit accessories (MFi license required)
  • you need a smart home platform other than Apple HomeKit
  • you need actively maintained code - the last release was 2022
