Repository Details

A python implementation to work as both HomeKit controller and accessory.

Due to lack of time I (@jlusiardi) will not put much time into this project in the foreseeable future.

HomeKit Python Build Status Coverage Status Gitter chat

With this code it is possible to implement either a HomeKit Accessory or simulate a HomeKit Controller.

The code presented in this repository was created based on release R1 from 2017-06-07.

Installation

Installation for IP based accessories

Simply use pip3 to install the package:

pip3 install --user homekit[IP]

This installation only for IP based accessories can be done without any operating system level installations and should also work on operating systems other than linux (Mac OS X, Windows, ...).

Installation for Bluetooth LE based accessories

This variant requires some packages on operating systems for the access onto Bluetooth LE via dbus. These can be installed on Debian based operating systems via:

apt install -y libgirepository1.0-dev gcc libcairo2-dev pkg-config python3-dev gir1.2-gtk-3.0 libdbus-1-dev

After that, using pip3 is sufficient again:

pip3 install --user homekit[BLE]

Installation for both type of accessories

In this case, install the packages for your operating system and afterwards use pip3:

pip3 install --user homekit[IP,BLE]

HomeKit Accessory

This package helps in creating a custom HomeKit Accessory.

The demonstration uses this JSON in ~/.homekit/demoserver.json:

{
  "name": "DemoAccessory",
  "host_ip": "$YOUR IP",
  "host_port": 8080,
  "accessory_pairing_id": "12:00:00:00:00:00",
  "accessory_pin": "031-45-154",
  "peers": {},
  "unsuccessful_tries": 0,
  "c#": 0,
  "category": "Lightbulb"

}

Now let's spawn a simple light bulb accessory as demonstration:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

import os.path

from homekit import AccessoryServer
from homekit.model import Accessory, LightBulbService


if __name__ == '__main__':
    try:
        httpd = AccessoryServer(os.path.expanduser('~/.homekit/demoserver.json'))

        accessory = Accessory('test_light', 'homekit_python', 'Demoserver', '0001', '0.1')
        lightService = LightBulbService()
        accessory.services.append(lightService)
        httpd.accessories.add_accessory(accessory)

        httpd.publish_device()
        print('published device and start serving')
        httpd.serve_forever()
    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        print('unpublish device')
        httpd.unpublish_device()

If everything went properly, you should be able to add this accessory to your home on your iOS device.

HomeKit Controller

The following tools help to access HomeKit Accessories.

init_controller_storage

This tool initializes the HomeKit controller's storage file.

Usage:

python3 -m homekit.init_controller_storage -f ${PAIRINGDATAFILE}

The option -f specifies the name of the file to contain the controller's data.

discover

This tool will list all available HomeKit IP Accessories within the local network.

Usage:

python3 -m homekit.discover [-t ${TIMEOUT}] [-u] [--log ${LOGLEVEL}]

The option -t specifies the timeout for the inquiry. This is optional and 10s are the default.

The option -u activates a filter to show only unpaired devices. This is optional and deactivated by default.

The option --log specifies the log level for the command. This is optional. Use DEBUG to get more output.

Output:

Using the compact output the result will look like:

1.1: >accessory-information<
  1.2: Koogeek-P1-770D90 () >name< [pr]
  1.3: Koogeek () >manufacturer< [pr]
  1.4: P1EU () >model< [pr]

get_characteristic

This tool will read values from one or more characteristics.

Usage:

python3 -m homekit.get_characteristic -f ${PAIRINGDATAFILE} -a ${ALIAS} -c ${CHARACTERISTICS} [-m] [-p] [-t] [-e] \
                                     [--adapter ${ADAPTER}] [--log ${LOGLEVEL}]

The option -f specifies the file that contains the pairing data.

The option -a specifies the alias for the device.

The option -c specifies the characteristics to read. The format is <aid>.<cid>. This option can be repeated to retrieve multiple characteristics with one call (e.g. -c 1.9 -c 1.8).

The option -m specifies if the meta data should be read as well.

The option -p specifies if the permissions should be read as well.

The option -t specifies if the type information should be read as well.

The option -e specifies if the event data should be read as well.

The option --adapter specifies which Bluetooth device to use. This is optional and hci0 is the default and is only used if the paired device is using Bluetooth LE.

The option --log specifies the log level for the command. This is optional. Use DEBUG to get more output.

For example, this command reads 2 characteristics of a Koogeek P1EU Plug:

python3 -m homekit.get_characteristic -f koogeek.json -a koogeek -c 1.8 -c 1.9

The result will be a json with data for each requested characteristic:

{
    "1.8": {
        "value": false
    },
    "1.9": {
        "value": true
    }
}

put_characteristic

This tool will write values to one or more characteristics.

Usage:

python3 -m homekit.put_characteristic -f ${PAIRINGDATAFILE} -a ${ALIAS} -c ${Characteristics} ${value} \
                                     [--adapter ${ADAPTER}] [--log ${LOGLEVEL}]

The option -f specifies the file that contains the pairing data.

The option -a specifies the alias for the device.

The option -c specifies the characteristics to change. The format is <aid>.<cid> <value>. This option can be repeated to change multiple characteristics with one call (e.g. -c 1.9 On -c 1.8 22.3) . If the value is complex or some longer chunk of data, it can be read from a file e.g. -c 1.9 @somefile with the file containing the value.

The option --adapter specifies which Bluetooth device to use. This is optional and hci0 is the default and is only used if the paired device is using Bluetooth LE.

The option --log specifies the log level for the command. This is optional. Use DEBUG to get more output.

For example, this command turns of a Koogeek P1EU Plug:

python3 -m homekit.put_characteristic -f koogeek.json -a koogeek -c 1.8 false

No output is given on successful operation or a error message is displayed.

get_events

!!Not yet implemented for Bluetooth LE Accessories!!

This tool will register with an accessory and listen to the events send back from it.

Usage

python3 -m homekit.get_events -f ${PAIRINGDATAFILE} -a ${ALIAS} -c ${Characteristics} \
                             [--adapter ${ADAPTER}] [--log ${LOGLEVEL}]

The option -f specifies the file that contains the pairing data.

The option -a specifies the alias for the device.

The option -c specifies the characteristics to change. The format is <aid>.<cid>. This option can be repeated to listen to multiple characteristics with one call.

The option --adapter specifies which Bluetooth device to use. This is optional and hci0 is the default and is only used if the paired device is using Bluetooth LE.

The option --log specifies the log level for the command. This is optional. Use DEBUG to get more output.

For example, you can listen to characteristics 1.8 (on characteristic), 1.22 (1 REALTIME_ENERGY) and 1.23 (2 CURRENT_HOUR_DATA) of the Koogeek P1EU Plug with:

python3 -m homekit.get_events -f koogeek.json -a koogeek -c 1.8 -c 1.22 -c 1.23

This results in

event for 1.8: True
event for 1.22: 6.0
event for 1.23: 0.01666
event for 1.22: 17.0
event for 1.23: 0.06388
event for 1.23: 0.11111
event for 1.22: 18.0
event for 1.23: 0.16111
event for 1.8: False
