I don't know if you guys heard, but OpenHab works pretty good with iOS's HomeKit

Ah I had that behaviour when I was running OH 1.8 with iOS 9. It was really bugging me. I then upgraded to OH2 and ios10 (at around the same time). Now it seems to work first time every time.

Artyom_Syomushkin · October 17, 2016, 8:50am

In my case I have homebridge plugin and OH running on RPi 2. Homekit is on iOS 10. I found also that icons in iOS Control Center sometimes show no connection to items even after Wi-Fi was connected for a while. Perhaps it has something to do with Apple TV?

PS. I have also one bug with dimmers since I upgraded to iOS10 - very often, when I tap slider in Home App it sends correct brightness value, immediately followed by brightness, set to 1%. Thus it dims my lights after thet. Same happens quite often with simple ON operation - e.g it shortly blinks to 100% and then immediately to 1%. I have even created a rule, which ignores 1% commands from Siri. This is something annoying. Has anyone seen this bug?

ewgor · October 17, 2016, 4:57pm

Hi man how did you manage with 2nd tutorial? i m stuck on the first command:
sudo apt-get install libnss-mdns libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev
it says:
unable to locate the packkage libavahi-compact-libdnssd-dev
after i installed a fresh Jessie on my Rpi!
i have oh 1.8.3 and its working well and i would like to make somehow a connection with siri but i dont want to use the plugin version couse i think is more difficult to use!
How did you manage to get it work? just following the second tutorial? or from other sources? As i said, on the first command i got stuck!

Anyone please can give us more details? i have a RPI 2 with a fresh Jessie installed and i have OH 1.8.3 running! what would be easier for me to use all the items in the sitemap?

Thanks!

ewgor · October 18, 2016, 11:26am

Hi all,
I managed to install homebridge following nfarina and wiki tutorials and now I can use Siri to control different things installed through Elegato Eve app yeyyyyy
I would like to ask about Harmony Logitech, do i have to install the plugin or its enough i have it OH as an item? The thing is that i cant see the Harmony item in Elegato app!
My Logitech item looks like this:

String Harmony_Activity "Scena Activa [%s]" {harmonyhub="*[currentActivity]"}
and the sitemap:

Selection item=Harmony_Activity mappings=[PowerOff='Noapte', WatchTV='TV', Film='Film', Cina='Cina']

Do i need to make other items to turn /off tv or for the volume up/down or mute?

Could anyone please help?
Thanks.

ewgor · October 21, 2016, 12:20pm

Hello! Anyone, any suggestion for the question above?
Thanks for any fish I get

Artyom_Syomushkin · January 7, 2017, 8:02pm

Hey all homebridge users.
I’m trying to setup roller-shutter control using Homekit. Positioning works fine, but open/close commands and percentage are inverted. Is there any easy option to change this? It seems that in OH normal logic is 0% - fully open and 100% - fully closed, but Homekit logic seems to be inverted…

antares2001 · June 26, 2018, 11:19am

Does this still work in recent OpenHAB versions? The HomeKit binding itself seems not to work for me reliably, and this seems quite promising.

Boby · June 26, 2018, 4:41pm

Since the last update I made, it stopped working. Unfortunately HomeKit is the most unreliable binding I know currently. Now I need to find out, what has changed and need to fix it…

dan12345 · June 27, 2018, 8:54am

I’m having the same thing (with 2.3 release version). I set the HomeKit scenes, they work for a while, and then Homekit/the binding forgets them. Just overnight, with no openHAB or binding restart in-between
