Expose Z-Wave accessories to HomeKit.
- Expose Z-Wave thermostats to HomeKit.
- Change the setpoint via HomeKit
This program was tested using Docker on Synology, an Aeotec Gen5 Z-Wave stick, and Danfoss LC-13 014G0013 thermostats.
The Z-Wave devices are accessed using python-openzwave.
HomeKit supported is provided through HAP-python.
See the Dockerfile for all required packages.
ZWAVE_DEVICE: Device name of the Z-Wave device (default:/dev/ttyACM0).BRIDGE_NAME: Display name of the bridge in HomeKit (default:Z-Wave Bridge).MAC: Any unique MAC address not used elsewhere (default:AA:11:22:33:44:55).PINCODE: PIN for adding the accessory in HomeKit (default:123-45-678).
The Docker image can be installed on Synology. When adding the container, ensure that
- "Execute container using high privilege" is activated (necessary for accessing the Z-Wave device; Synology's interface does not allow passthrough of individual USB devices),
- some directory on the NAS is bound to
/config, - and environment variables are set as desired (see above).
