HomeKit all the things!
NRCHKB is a Node-RED nodes pack to simulate Apple HomeKit devices. The goal is to emulate native HomeKit devices as closely as possible.

About this Contrib
This is a collection of nodes which can be used to imitate HomeKit devices inside Node-RED. Messages coming into these nodes are able to set device states and status in Apple’s iOS and macOS Home apps. Commands from Home apps (or Siri) will be passed from these nodes into your Node-RED flows.
Easy Install
If you have Node-RED already installed, the recommended install method is to use the editor. To do this, select Manage palette from the Node-RED menu (top right).
Then select Install tab in the palette. Search for and install this node (node-red-contrib-homekit-bridged).
Docker Install
You can also pull a docker image containing everything needed to get started.
Getting Started
Example flows For a quick start, we recommend checking out the flows which are included with the plugin, they can be imported using the Node-RED hamburger menu after install.
