HomeKit support for the impatient.
Homebridge lets you control almost any smart home device from the Apple Home app and Siri — even if it wasn't built for HomeKit. With thousands of community-powered plugins, you can connect lights, locks, cameras, thermostats, and more, all from one place.
What makes Homebridge worth launching.
Use your voice to turn on lights, adjust the thermostat, lock doors, and more — just say "Hey Siri."
Connect lights, locks, cameras, thermostats, vacuums, sensors, and thousands of other devices from brands like Ring, Nest, Tuya, and more.
With Homebridge 2.0, your devices can also work with Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and SmartThings through the Matter smart home standard.
The Homebridge web interface makes it easy to install plugins, manage accessories, and monitor your smart home from any browser.
Set up automations that trigger when you arrive home, leave for work, or when the sun sets — no matter what brand your devices are.
Share access to your smart home with everyone in your household so they can control devices from their own Apple devices.
If you fit one of these, Homebridge is probably built for you.
Practical scenarios where Homebridge makes a real difference.
Say "Hey Siri, turn off the living room lights" or "Set the thermostat to 72" — even if your lights and thermostat don't natively support HomeKit.
Have a Ring doorbell, Nest thermostat, and Roomba vacuum? Homebridge brings them all into the Apple Home app so you can control everything in one place.
Set scenes like "Good Morning" that open the blinds, start the coffee maker, and adjust the temperature — all triggered by time, location, or a Siri command.
Check your security cameras, see who's at the door, and get alerts when motion is detected — all through the Home app on your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch.
Homebridge is the easiest way to bring all your smart home devices into the Apple Home app. Even if a device doesn't natively support HomeKit — like a Ring doorbell, Nest thermostat, or Roomba vacuum — Homebridge can bridge the gap. It works by connecting to your devices through a huge library of community-built plugins, so you can control everything from one app. Use Siri to turn off the lights, check your camera feed, or lock the front door. With over 2,000 plugins supporting thousands of devices, your entire smart home can finally live under one roof.
Homebridge is the missing link between your non-Apple smart devices and the Apple Home ecosystem. Instead of being locked into one brand or juggling multiple apps, Homebridge lets you control everything from the familiar Home app on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. With over 2,000 community-built plugins, it supports more devices than almost any other smart home bridge. And with the new Matter support in version 2.0, your devices can also work with Google Home, Alexa, and SmartThings. Whether you're a smart home beginner or a seasoned enthusiast, Homebridge makes your home work the way you want it to.

Everything you need to know about launching Homebridge on OpenZapps.
Homebridge is a smart home bridge that lets you control devices that don't normally work with Apple HomeKit — like Ring cameras, Nest thermostats, or robot vacuums — right from the Apple Home app and Siri.
Not at all! OpenZapps handles all the setup for you. Once it's running, you just open the Homebridge dashboard, install a plugin for your device, and pair it with the Apple Home app on your iPhone. It's that simple.
You pay OpenZapps a flat monthly fee to run Homebridge (and any other apps you want). There's no per-plugin cost — the plugins are free and built by the Homebridge community.
Yes. Homebridge runs on your own private cloud environment, and your smart home data stays within your control. Apple HomeKit data is also encrypted end-to-end.
Absolutely. Through OpenZapps, you can connect a custom domain to your Homebridge dashboard so you can access it from anywhere.
