# IMPORTANT
Homebridge has recently spun off its included accessories into a new module [homebridge-legacy-plugins](https://github.com/nfarina/homebridge-legacy-plugins). Please do not open any issues related to specific devices in this repository; go there instead.
# Homebridge
Homebridge is a lightweight NodeJS server you can run on your home network that emulates the iOS HomeKit API. It supports Plugins, which are community-contributed modules that provide a basic bridge from HomeKit to various 3rd-party APIs provided by manufacturers of "smart home" devices.

npm install -g homebridge-lockitron
You can explore all available plugins at the NPM website by [searching for the keyword `homebridge-plugin`](https://www.npmjs.com/browse/keyword/homebridge-plugin).
**IMPORTANT**: Many of the plugins that Homebridge used to include with its default installation have been moved to the single plugin [homebridge-legacy-plugins](https://www.npmjs.com/package/homebridge-legacy-plugins).
# Adding Homebridge to iOS
HomeKit is actually not an app; it's a "database" similar to HealthKit and PassKit. But where HealthKit has the companion _Health_ app and PassKit has _Passbook_, Apple has supplied no app for managing your HomeKit database (at least [not yet](http://9to5mac.com/2015/05/20/apples-planned-ios-9-home-app-uses-virtual-rooms-to-manage-homekit-accessories/)). However, the HomeKit API is open for developers to write their own apps for adding devices to HomeKit.
