Thanks for your tutorial is great.
I am a noob bit I succeed in creating simple flow from OH to Homekit and viceversa.
I am not able to transfer a float from homekit to oh. Can you post an example?
I want to transfer the target temperature from homekit to OH
Nice to see that I’m not alone in doing this.
Here is my Fan control flow. I use the LIRC binding to control a Bionaire Fan, and I’ve added oscillation and speed, as well as the default On/Off.
Code if anyone is intrested

Really nice work. Just one question I’m struggling in how to send a temperature to home kit.
I have this item
Number HueTemp "Hue Temperature [%.0f]ºC" (Temp, Sensors)
and have no clue how to send the temperature to the HomeKit node the answer is always invalid payload string object
I have used a change node but no clue from what to what I must change. My guess was
{"CurrentTemperature":msg.payload.state}
but it didn’t work.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
I do it with a function node.
msg.payload = {
CurrentTemperature: + parseFloat(msg.payload).toFixed(1)
};
return msg;
Hi @ptweety,
may it be possible that you share your Flow-Code of your implementation for the heating thermostats? I’m in trouble with the conversion from the HomeKit item to the values for open hab…

Hi @n30ngruu3n,
it took me a while to find the flow since I’ve moved my nodered stuff from one machine to the other weeks ago.

[SOLVED] Missed out on the fact that npm version on my raspi was super-outdated.
Uplifted to most recent - all good now.
Are you using Openhab with Homekit binding and Node-Red on the same server?
I did install Node-Red and followed your how-to (kudos), but none of the homekit accessories created in node-red are found by Home App - any advise how to resolve?
I used to run all on a rpi but recently migrated OH and node red to docker containers. So should not have any impact at all.
Haven’t come across any issue like that. Would it be possible your NR server with HomeKit is on a different lan or segment or your home app can’t see the nr server or some ports are filtered.
That’s the only thing I can think about
Hello,
thx for this Thread so i wars able to adde my Window Sensors 
Question:
I wanne watch only Status from i item
I have a “ping Binding” which shows me the status of my bridges/server so the thing give me a “on or Off” status.
How i make this information visible in node-red (sorry i am very bad at this).
i tryed:
but this didnt work.
What “service” are you using for your HomeKit node?
There’s no reason this won’t work - but if you’re using “switch” as the type then you’ll need to send:
{"On":true}
{"On":false}
As your payloads.
We’ve had a lot of recent discussion in another thread - I even put together a pretty detailed tutorial of how I handle all of my items. Perhaps you’ll find something helpful over there:
Hi there, I need some help on this:
I have Roller Shutters and I would like to set the position on them from a Node Red HomeKit item. Can somebody tell me what items I need and how to setup them?
I get the CurrentPosition from the HomeKit item, but I don’t know the payload I have to set on the openHab item.
There’s a roller shutter example in my link just above your post - I call it “curtains”
My openhanded item is a dimmer, accepts 0-100 where 0 is closed and 100 is all the way open. I don’t know what hardware you’re using, but it should be a pretty easy to convert to your hardware. Maybe a matter of scaling numbers if anything?
My curtain motor is controlled by an Insteon micro open/close module.
Thank you for your answer Garrett. I had a look at your solution using dimmers, but i thought about a solution without a workaround. Unfortunately it looks like there is no other solution. Could you please send me your item and rule file?
I also think i have to do this with a timer. Sending the command “.SendCommand(50)” does noch set the shutter device to 50 of 100.
No need to for timer in my view
I did solve the issue the following (I am using Fibaro FGR222 in Venetian Blinds mode, which requires “TargetHorizontalTiltAngle” in addition)
I am using the blinds motor power consumption to update CurrentPosition.
Without that the blinds in homekit app would always be indidcated as Open/Close - with small spinning wheel.
CurrentPosition code:
var TargetPosition = context.get('TargetPosition');
var SensorPower = context.get('SensorPower');
if (msg.item == "ZWaveNode010FGR222RollerShutter2_ShutterPosition")
{
TargetPosition = msg.payload;
}
if (msg.item == "ZWaveNode10FGRM222RollerShutter_SensorPower")
{
SensorPower = msg.payload;
}
if (SensorPower === 0);
{
msg.payload = {CurrentPosition: TargetPosition}
return msg;
}
The code for TargetPosition:
msg.payload = {TargetPosition : msg.payload}
return msg;
The code for TargetHorizontalTiltAngle:
msg.payload = { TargetHorizontalTiltAngle : msg.payload}
return msg;
your code goes here

This is a cool approach. I wonder is it accurate enough that you could use the total power used to come up with a % open number and send a stop command once you’ve reached that?
@gegy - you’ll need to say what your hardware setup is, as you see there are many approaches that could work. Pick one and run with it!
Actually, very accurate.
But not sure, what you are trying to achieve.
The motor is requiring roughly the same power for lowering and raising throughout the movement of the blinds. There is no real peak to determine stop based on some calculation.
This implementation allows to raise (and tilt) the blinds to whatever percentage of open (and tilt) you would like to have from iOS device:
I guess you must have more code somewhere then! I was curious if this setup lets you set different amounts of “open” - it seems like the answer is yes.
I’m not really trying to accomplish anything just curious about the setup. I’ve thought about power monitoring for different things but I don’t have any sensors at this point.
My motor is actually variable speed - starts slow then speeds up - so if I set anything but 0% or 100% open it doesn’t end up in quite the right place.
No additional code for homekit control.
but quite a lot of code lines for automation rules to handle all blinds - depending inputs like temperature outside, inside, luminance, time of day, presence etc.
As stated before I am using Fibaro FGR222 Zwave actors for roller blinds (quick google search should provide all details).
The FGR222 provide a fix value for blinds open = 100 (%) and blinds closed = 0 (%). (and same for venitian blind tilt: 0 closed, 50 horizontal orientation, 100 completely rotated (almost closed, but up slide down).
When setting up the FGR222s they are calibrating and with that identifying the respective endpoints.
When sending a certain value e.g. as result of moving the slider to 30 the blinds lower to leave 30% of windows uncovered.
The FGR222 allow to invert to the values to 0 is opened and 100 is closed, but I like that way.
function “BlindsControl”:
msg.payload = msg.payload.TargetPosition
return msg;
analog for tilt: “LamellaPosition” (with some extra logic to prevent negative values):
var TargetHorizontalTiltAngle = context.get('TargetHorizontalTiltAngle') || 0;
TargetHorizontalTiltAngle = msg.payload.TargetHorizontalTiltAngle;
if (TargetHorizontalTiltAngle < 0)
{
TargetHorizontalTiltAngle = (TargetHorizontalTiltAngle*(-1));
msg.payload = TargetHorizontalTiltAngle;
}
else
{
msg.payload = msg.payload.TargetHorizontalTiltAngle;
}
return msg;
Hi Adam and everyone else!
Can you post what you injected in the HomeKit Garagedoor opener on the left side? I am struggling with finding the right configuration. I am working with KNX and I only have the status 1 or 0 when the door is opened or closed. At the moment I am sending the “CurrentDoorState” to HomeKit but that only seems to work when I am operating the door througd HomeKit itself. When I am for example opening through KNX, HomeKit gets stuck at “Closing…”. So I can’t close it back with HomeKit and Siri.
Long story short, I am hoping there are more parameters to send to the HomeKit Garagedoor opener.
If anyone else has experience or thinks he/she can help, I would be happy 
Thanks
