Super cool project! Will definitely see if I can't get something set up at home with this.

I actually recently did my own framework, in connection with my bachelor thesis on IoT and (a little bit) mobile networks, that focused a bit on home automation, but HomeKit is obviously far more polished than what I have[0]. The general field of IoT/M2M is very interesting.

The only gripe I have with it is that it is not open-source, which would definitely be awesome (HomeKit, that is). That said, not being open-source is not going to stop me from not using it.

Pay attention to the license. This is not open source as it's for noncommercial use only. Still interesting, just saying.

What? The LICENSE file looks like the standard BSD 2-Clause, to me.

EDIT: I read it more closely; it's not a standard BSD, but it's definitely open source, just non-commercial.

I was getting all geared up to argue with you, I looked up the OSI definition, and ... you're right. I wasn't aware the OSI had a definition, that'll be very useful!
