Open-source firmware that makes Sonoff WiFi smart switches natively compatible with Apple HomeKit, running directly on the ESP8266/ESP32 chip without needing HomeBridge, MQTT, or any external server. It also provides a simple web page controller and REST API endpoints (/on, /off, /toggle, /state) for control from non-Apple devices.

Use cases

  • make my sonoff switch work with apple homekit
  • control sonoff switch from iphone home app without homebridge
  • flash custom homekit firmware on sonoff basic
  • control smart switch via rest api with curl
  • add cheap homekit-compatible switch without raspberry pi
  • control sonoff from non-apple device via web page

When to choose

  • you want native HomeKit support on Sonoff hardware with no hub, HomeBridge, or MQTT server required
  • you want REST API and web control in addition to HomeKit
  • you want a free alternative to expensive certified HomeKit switches

When to avoid

  • you need a plug-and-play solution without flashing firmware
  • your Sonoff model is not among the tested devices (Basic, Slampher, S26)
  • you prefer Tasmota-based setups with broader device support
