Homebridge Ansible Pi

Introduction

HomeBridge Ansible Pi is an automated script for installing the excellent HomeBridge package onto a Raspberry Pi. Homebridge enables IOT devices to be added and controlled by Siri that would normally not be supported by Apple's Homekit at all. These devices include:

• Lockitron
• Nest
• Sonos
• SmartThings
• SoundTouch
• Wemo

HomeBridge-hdmi is now automatically installed and configured as part of the set-up process. This enables you to plug your Raspberry Pi directly into your HDMI TV or AV Amp and issue comannds like "Hey Siri, turn the TV on"
