== Homekit setup ==
* setup instructions here: https://docs.openhab.org/addons/bindings/mqtt1/readme.html
** there is a issue with the homekit addon overwriting the generated mac address on exit (I think). See https://github.com/openhab/openhab2-addons/issues/1822*** for now, after successful pairing, set /var/lib/openhab2/jsondb/homekit.json read only after successful pairing. May have to undo to re-create a new pairing** after a reset of the openhab server, it may take quite some time for homekit to attempt a reconnect to the server. You can force a reconnect by putting the iPhone etc temporarily into and out of airplane mode. This forces homekit to reconnect
* looks like most people gave up on the homekit addon in OHAB2, and use Node + Homebridge + Node-OHAB plugin. Install here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/homebridge-openhab2
** make sure Node version already installed is > 8.0 (update to TLS version)
** upgrade before installing the ''homebridge-openhab2'' node contribution and the stuff required for homebridge
