HomeSpan is an Arduino library for building custom Apple HomeKit accessories on ESP32 microcontrollers, implementing the HAP-R2 protocol directly without external bridges. It lets developers control devices via the Apple Home app or Siri over WiFi.

Use cases

  • build a custom HomeKit light switch with ESP32
  • control DIY hardware from Siri
  • create HomeKit temperature sensor on ESP32
  • implement HAP-R2 accessory in Arduino IDE
  • add OTA-updatable HomeKit device to Apple Home

When to choose

  • you want native HomeKit accessories without a bridge
  • you develop in the Arduino IDE on ESP32-family chips
  • you need full HAP-R2 compliance with OTA support

When to avoid

  • you use ESP8266 or non-ESP32 hardware
  • you don't have a HomeKit hub (HomePod or Apple TV)
  • you need HomeKit support outside the Arduino ecosystem
