HomeKit Integration #3

Open JnyJny opened 3 years ago

JnyJny commented 3 years ago

It would be cool have to make the lights controlled by busylight be available for use with HomeKit. It appears that that easiest way to make this happen is via the Homebridge project.

The Home Assistant project also allows for HomeKit integration and is Python-based.

I know I've mistakenly created a lot of phantom HomeKit devices with HA, but that's about the extent of what I've done between HA and HomeKit.

I think I'll battle one bear at a time. The last time I played with Home Assistant I did not have a positive experience (trying to connect IKEA smart plugs to HomeKit).

Busylight Homebridge plugin

Hi @JnyJny , thank you for creating this amazing project!

Did your perspective on Home Assistant change over the years? I don't know how it was in 2020, but it became an extremely mature and beloved platform with great support and a very active community.

I would love to integrate BusyLight for Humans into Home Assistant. Are there any plans to support this?

Jaharmi commented 5 months ago

@trahloff I've definitely thought about it, as well. I've never done an integration, but I've done a minimal REST setup to at least turn lights on/off and set some basic colors. If you have ideas, I'd be interested in helping somehow.
