ESP32 Homekit Demo

Just playing around with esp-homekit and a breadboard.

Breadboard has a reed switch and a DHT11 temperature sensor.

How to install

1. Initialize and sync all submodules (recursively):

git submodule update --init --recursive

2. Remove 2 files that are not needed:

rm components/homekit/src/mdnsresponder.*

3. Copy wifi.h.sample -> wifi.h and edit it with correct WiFi SSID and password.
4. Install esp-idf by following instructions on esp-idf project page. At the end you should have xtensa-esp32-elf toolchain in your path and IDF_PATH environment variable pointing to esp-idf directory.
5. Configure project:

make menuconfig

There are many settings there, but at least you should configure "Serial flasher config -> Default serial port". Also, check "Components -> HomeKit" menu section.

6. Build example:

make all

7. To prevent any effects from previous firmware (e.g. firmware crashing right at start), highly recommend to erase flash:

    make erase_flash

8. Upload firmware to ESP32:

    make flash monitor

To exit the monitor, simply press CONTROL + ]
