About Homebridge

Homebridge is a server you run on your own hardware to make smart home devices without HomeKit support appear in Apple Home. Once bridged, those devices can be controlled from the Home app and included in HomeKit scenes and automations alongside native accessories.

It suits Apple users who own devices from brands that do not support HomeKit and want to manage everything from one app.

Strengths

  • Brings non-HomeKit devices into Apple Home
  • Runs on your own hardware

Limitations

  • Useful only within Apple's HomeKit ecosystem
  • Needs a machine running continuously
