What is HomeKitLink Siri?

HKLS lets you publish any Indigo device into Apple's Home ecosystem. You create one or more HomeKitLink Bridge devices inside Indigo. Each bridge acts as a HomeKit accessory bridge — you pair it once with a QR code in the iOS Home app, and every Indigo device you add to it appears automatically in HomeKit.

Highlights:

• 🏠 Create unlimited bridges (up to 95 devices each)
• 🎛️ Supports lights, fans, switches, sensors, cameras, thermostats, locks, blinds, security systems and more
• 🔒 Device configuration is stored in the Indigo database — migrates with Indigo
• 🎙️ Full Siri control once paired
• 📷 Native BlueIris and SecuritySpy camera streaming with Opus audio
• 🔍 Built-in diagnostic tools — network troubleshooter, mDNS checker, support log

Each bridge runs its own HAP (HomeKit Accessory Protocol) server and mDNS advertisement — fully self-contained inside Indigo.
