Took me about two hours to setup everything (maybe less, I get easily sidetracked). You just need homebridge and the OpenHAB plugin.
looks cool, wanted to try but getting some time out errors from github!?

That’s really weird. Maybe try in a few hours? Also, how are you running the git clone command?
git clone https://github.com/nfarina/homebridge.git
exactly like in the description - I will try again tomorrow…
You can install from npm I think, with
npm install homebridge
I’m guessing the plugin can only run under Linux, is that correct?
Has anyone managed to get Siri working with OpenHAB under Windows?
Is the only real benefit here Siri integration? Just curious as an Android user.

Still same Error, am i the only One?
ok, that helped a lot! **Thanks! **
Now the installation is done. Openhab config added and homebridge is runnung. But on the iphone the apps are not seeing anything from homebridge…without any errors…
I alredy tried the hints from the tutorial - but not really woking…Any further ideas?
When you start Homebridge, are you seeing any [openHAB] Platform - Accessory Found: messages? You should see one for each item in your sitemap. Beware, however, that Homebridge can’t deal with sitemaps that contain Frame {} or Group {} blocks as I mentioned in this thread: item is not a widget.
Solution: create a separate sitemap for Homebridge that has just the item definitions.
@mm1804 try what @jdwhite said. That’s how it works for me. Create a sitemap specially for homebridge, where all the items you want are in the root of the sitemap.
This one worked well as well
More simple to setup and has a bit more features for now (Like RGB Lights)
@yozik04 It’s actually a lot harder to setup, considering you have to build the it yourself, and get the exact g++ and node and gyp versions. I tried for about 4 hours to setup, before I got angry and tried homebridge and the plugin.
@alex_bartis By simple setup I mean when you have it built, you do not need to create a config file to pick up your openhub items. They are added automatically via your openhab sitemap. I like that I do not need to create a separate config and maintain it. But it is not big deal.
I’ve spent like an hour for OpenHAB-HomeKit-Bridge setup including compilation for the first time. I know that compilation is pain for the most users. =)
I agree with you that homebridge installation is simpler.
What is missing in homebridge for me for now is RGB Lights.
Anyway I have subscribed to homebridge repo to see how it evolves.
Yeah, I couldn’t get past compiling it on my raspberry. And I still don’t know if the problem was with gcc, node or gyp. And homebridge just needs a config file to point to the sitemap. Only special items need to be added to the config, like if you have a fan in a socket (so as not to be mistaken with a light). Otherwise, it will just load the sitemap items.
I think i did everything as in the instructions but somehow its nor working.

19 verbose exit [ 1, true ]I was getting the same thing with Openhab-homekit-bridge. That’s why I gave up and installed homekit bridge with the openhab plugin. Got it working in 5 minutes.
how do i install it “with plugin”. Im using Debian…
ah sry now i get it, the first link is a diferent git rep. XD i should weak up
