# Introduction Simple script to add BME680 sensor readings to Apple Homekit using a Raspberry PI with minimal configuration. After running the program you'll be given the QR code used to add the sensor as an accessory in Homekit. ![](./docs/add_to_home.png) ![](./docs/homekit_view.jpg) ## Installing Ensure you are the `pi` user. Clone the repo in home and then install requirements. ### Cloning the project ```bash cd /home/pi && git clone git@github.com:dnutiu/bme680-homekit.git && cd bme680-homekit sudo apt-get install libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev pip3 install -r requirements.txt ``` ### Sensors Run the program once to pair it with your ios. ex: ```bash cd sensors python3 main.py Setup payload: X-HM://0023K50QET2YB Scan this code with your HomeKit app on your iOS device: Or enter this code in your HomeKit app on your iOS device: 053-86-998 ``` Copy the systemd service. ```bash sudo cp bme680-homekit.service /etc/systemd/system sudo systemctl status bme680-homekit ``` ``` ● bme680-homekit.service - Bme680 Homekit service Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/bme680-homekit.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: inactive (dead) ``` Start the service ```bash sudo systemctl start bme680-homekit sudo systemctl status bme680-homekit ``` ``` ● bme680-homekit.service - Bme680 Homekit service Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/bme680-homekit.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Mon 2022-02-21 20:10:30 GMT; 935ms ago Main PID: 1722 (python3) Tasks: 1 (limit: 780) CPU: 895ms CGroup: /system.slice/bme680-homekit.service └─1722 /usr/bin/python3 /home/pi/bme680-homekit/main.py Feb 21 20:10:30 raspberrypi systemd[1]: Started Bme680 Homekit service. ```
