Finally it's here and the only one in the entire AppStore - Homebridge App! With Homebridge you can easily and cheap turn your entire home into a futuristic smart home. Everything is controlled by you and your iPhone while Homerbidge works as a bridge between Apple's HomeKit on your iPhone / iPad and your devices like your TV, light, game console, jalousies, and and and. All you need is a tiny and cheap PC called "RaspberryPi" - But don't worry this App will support you with supported projects and a bunch of software, which will be installed by this App, so you will be guided and don't need any deep PC-nerd-experinces. With the great Homebridge-App you'll have fun to: • Setup your brand new RaspberryPi (1, 2, 3, 3+ and Zero) with our preconfigured version of the open source installer "NOOBS". • Install and setup all relevant software on your RaspberryPi with just a single tap on the App • Automatically configure your RaspberryPi's WiFi, etc. • Install amazing Plug-Ins for Homebridge from our tiny Plug-In store • Coming soon: Follow awesome Homebridge-Projects, supported with shopping-lists and 1-click-installations and setup Control.

Easy Setup plugins First of all, you can add every NPM plugin you like using the Homebridge App and a graphical and easy to use generic interface. However we've prepared a nice and shiny specialized interface for the most popular and important plugins including: • Fritz! • WeMo • Wake on LAN • Domoticz • HarmonyHub • HomeAssistant • HomeMatic • Hue • LiFx • People (Wifi device trigger) • Relay • Remote Outlet • Sonos • Synology • Telldus • Tradfri Let's get nerdy: Each member of our developer team loves the RaspberryPi with all varieties.

What we do for you: • setup your brand new RaspberryPi or connect to your existing one • setup Homebridge incl. service, configuration and all kind of plugins available with NPM • manage your SystemCtl or init.d service • edit your config.json graphically just from the App without any terminal, etc., also for not supported plugins and platforms • keep track of your Pi, the homebridge-service, homebridge-pin, homebridge-logs, etc. so everything is just working and can be restarted / repaired if necessary coming soon: connect your Pi to the HomeKit Homebridge on a Mac There are already users, which are using this App with a Homebridge server running on a Mac. However we strongly recommend using the App with a RaspberryPi (1, 2, 3, Zero) and do not support servers, running on other machines including the Mac. We need your help! Did you see awesome Homebridge-Pi projects or Homebride-plug-ins, we should implement in our App for easy setup? Just text us to: support@nvw-dev.com
