hc is a lightweight framework to develop HomeKit accessories in Go. It abstracts the HomeKit Accessory Protocol (HAP) and makes it easy to work with services and characteristics. hc handles the underlying communication between HomeKit accessories and clients. You can focus on implementing the business logic for your accessory, without having to worry about the protocol. HomeKit is a set of protocols and libraries from Apple. It is used by Apple's platforms to communicate with smart home appliances. A non-commercial version of the documentation is now available on the HomeKit developer website. HomeKit is fully integrated into iOS since iOS 8. Developers can use HomeKit.framework to communicate with accessories using high-level APIs. I've developed the Home+ app to control HomeKit accessories from iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch.
