Dear Community,
I would be interested if there is a binding (or any other way) to access HomeKit items from openHAB.
I know, that the other way around (openHAB exposed as bridge to HomeKit) does work pretty well. But for some reason I want to change that.
So, I would be very interested, if there is a way to access HomeKit items from openHAB.
There isn’t a binding 
but you can create virtual proxy items in OpenHAB and link them in Homekit to them HomeKit items.
correct. there is no binding for homekit. it is on wishlist for openHAB 4.0
check if you homekit devices support other protocols, e.g. i have connected some netatmo homekit devices using netatmo binding and exposed them again using openHAB addon.
Are there any updates on when homekit devices can be added to OpenHAB?
Without taking a workaround over different apps.
For example i now have a Thread sensor talking to the Apple TV bridge. For this i think i can’t use “other protocols” to make it work so this new binding would be perfect.
@Solar_Island to my knowledge. there is no update for Thread or other protocols. there are many good updates to the existing HomeKit binding but no new protocols.
Hello, maybe this link could give some idea on how to control an HomeKit item from openHAB
any news on that?
In case you didn’t already see this, 5.1 introduced HomeKit - Bindings | openHAB.
