Homekit Accessory Protocol, implemented in Swift

The goal of this package is to provide a complete implementation of the Homekit Accessory Protocol, enabling you to build your DIY accessories, and connect your non-HAP devices.

Build Status

Features

  • Persistent configuration across reboots.
  • Homekit pairing by scanning QR code (shipped in iOS 11).
  • Speakers and Remote Control accessories (shipped in iOS 12 / macOS Mojave).
  • Television accessories (shipped in iOS 12.2 / macOS 10.14.3).
  • Extensibility through custom services and characteristics.
  • Runs on Linux / Raspbian (Raspberry Pi).

How to build

MacOS

Install libsodium (used for Curve25519 and Ed25519):

brew install libsodium

And then build the project itself:

swift build -c release

Linux

Install dependencies:

sudo apt install openssl libssl-dev libsodium-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev

Make sure you have libsodium 1.0.9 or above. Ubuntu 16.10 or later suffices. Otherwise you have to compile and install libsodium from source:

wget https://download.libsodium.org/libsodium/releases/libsodium-1.0.12.tar.gz
tar xzf libsodium-1.0.12.tar.gz
cd libsodium-1.0.12
./configure
make && make check
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig

And then build the project itself:

swift build -c release

Raspberry Pi (Raspbian Stretch)

There are currently no official binaries from swift.org targetting ARM / Raspbian, however there's an active community working on Swift on ARM. You can install binaries from their repository:

curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/swift-arm/release/script.deb.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install swift4

Usage

Run swift build to compile and .build/debug/hap-server to run. Modify Sources/hap-server/main.swift to include your own accessories.

On Mac OS, you can debug using XCode by running the command swift package generate-xcodeproj and the opening the resulting HAP.xcodeproj project. Select the hap-server target to execute.

Extensibility

The following code snippet how you would model a fictious accessory representing a mobile power bank.

class PowerBankAccessory: Accessory {
    let service = PowerBankService()
    init(info: Service.Info) {
        super.init(info: info, type: .outlet, services: [service])
    }
}
class PowerBankService: Service {
    public let on = GenericCharacteristic<Bool>(
        type: .on,
        value: false)
    public let inUse = GenericCharacteristic<Bool>(
        type: .outletInUse,
        value: true,
        permissions: [.read, .events])
    public let batteryLevel = GenericCharacteristic<Double>(
        type: .batteryLevel,
        value: 100,
        permissions: [.read, .events])

    init() {
        super.init(type: .outlet, characteristics: [
            AnyCharacteristic(on),
            AnyCharacteristic(inUse),
            AnyCharacteristic(batteryLevel)
        ])
    }
}

Object-Oriented Design

A high-level overview of the objects involved are shown in the diagram below. The terminology of HAP (Device, Accessory, Service, Characteristic) is followed for ease of understanding.

                      +------------+
                      | NetService |
                      +------------+
                             |
                             | delegate
                             v
   +--------+ 1     0…1 +--------+ *   * +---------------------+
   | Device |-----------| Server |-------| Controller (iPhone) |
   +--------+           +--------+       +---------------------+
        | 1                           * /
        | *                           /
  +-----------+                     /
  | Accessory |                   /
  +-----------+                 /
        | 1                   / > read, events
        | *                 / < write, subscribe
   +---------+            /
   | Service |          /
   +---------+        /
        | 1         /
        | *     * /
+----------------+
| Characteristic |
+----------------+

Development

Running tests

Certain tests involve crypto, which can be a bit slow in debug builds. Best to run the tests with a release build, like this:

swift test -c release -Xswiftc -enable-testing

Implementation notes

Currently GenericCharacteristic<T> is used, to allow for user-defined value types. As Swift requires homegenous arrays, a protocol AnyCharacteristic is introduced. I don't like the resulting implementation as the generics result in a cascade of workarounds (boxing + ObjectIdentifier()).
