HAP-NodeJS is an implementation of the HomeKit Accessory Server as specified in the HomeKit Accessory Protocol (HAP),which is defined by Apple as part of the HomeKit Framework.

HAP-NodeJS is intended to be used as a library to easily create your own HomeKit Accessory on a Raspberry Pi,Intel Edison, or any other platform that can run Node.js :)
If you are searching for a pluggable HomeKit bridge with over a thousand community driven plugins to bring HomeKitsupport to devices which do not support HomeKit out of the box, you may want to look at thehomebridge project (which also uses HAP-NodeJS internally).

The implementation tries to follow the HAP specification as close as it can, but may differ in some cases.HAP-NodeJS is not an Apple certified HAP implementation, as this is only available to members of the MFi program.

You may start by having a look at ourWiki, especially have a look at theImportant HomeKit Terminology used in this project.

There is also a pretty detailed guide onhow to start developing with HAP-NodeJS.Or you may just have a look at ourexamples repository(or some of the oldaccessory examples).

The documentation (WIP) can be foundhere.

See the FAQ on how to enabledebug output for HAP-NodeJS.

Special thanks toAlex Skalozub, who reverse-engineered the server side HAP.You can find his researchhere.(Sadly, on Nov 4 2014, Apple sent theDMCA request to GitHub to remove the research.)

There is a video demo running this project on Intel Edison.
