Hello.

The code is 99% ready, it's just undergoing closed preview & testing.

Release before the end of this month.

Thank you for your fast response. It is very nice to hear this from you. Looking forward to be able to participate in any way.

I think that there will be opportunities for that.

The software will emulate a homekit lock, but it actually ignores all commands apart from homekey-related ones (like opening/closing via app), would be useful if the other ones get implemented too.
Also, some HAP commands related to removing/suspending the keys were not done due to lack of testing.
The NFC part is 100% complete, so no opportunities there, but the data storage part can be changed.

Anyway, you (and others) will see soon.

Also, if others are reading this, please take a look at the first NOTE section at the top of the page. Prepare all components, verify that they work via their respective demos, etc, so it wouldn't become a surprise that something doesn't work day 0.

Hi @kormax,
Thanks for your work on this.
Do you think will be possible to have this working on a esp device, for example, using esphome and connect with homebridge or HomeAssistant?

My example code is in Python - so PC (or an SBC) only, but it's entirely possible for someone to re-implement this code in C/C++ for a microcontroller, I don't see any reason why this cannot happen.

I hope that this solves your issue.
