This is an add-on that exposes your openHAB system as a bridge over the HomeKit protocol.
This integration **exports** openHAB Items to a HomeKit controller, so you can control openHAB from the Home app on Apple devices.
Do not confuse this with the HomeKit **binding** (https://www.openhab.org/addons/bindings/homekit/) which **imports** data from HomeKit accessories so that you can control them directly from openHAB.
Using this add-on, you will be able to control your openHAB system using Apple's Siri, or any of a number of HomeKit enabled iOS apps.
In order to do so, you will need to make some configuration changes.
HomeKit organizes your home into "accessories" that are made up of a number of "characteristics".
