## What it is
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
