Overview
Homebridge is a lightweight NodeJS server you can run on your home network that emulates the iOS HomeKit API (Docker Image). 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.
