Hacking Apple HomeKit with Homebridge

Apple Homekit is about to come into you living room in December with HomePod. What is the current state of HomeKit compatible accessories? Not that great many would say, they are not as common as one would hope and they are usually more expensive then similar accessories compatible with other home automation platforms. What if that was wrong, what if by simply running some software on a raspberry pi, you could automate everything in your home and have Siri do it for you. With Homebridge you can. I will go over the setup of my own home, and dive into the code of a node application I wrote myself to automate my garage door.
