There is nothing special with using the snap install for these things. Please see:
http://docs.openhab.org/tutorials/beginner/index.html
and
I have installed the home kit binding via Paper UI, but now I am trying to edit the homekit.cfg file, and I cannot find where it should go. I installed via apt-get, which from what I gather can make a difference in directory structure. I don't appear to have a 'conf' folder anywhere on my system.

Hi all - using 2.3 -
a great video is showing how to setup homekit:
This really works great if you follow the instructions.
My question: How to add more items? I just added “Lighting” to more items in the items file, but had to reconfigure the iphone to get the new items visible…
Any thoughts how to bring them to life?
