Essential mapping between Apple HomeKIt and OpenHAB2 is done via the Node-RED homebridge-openhab2 plugin (https://www.npmjs.com/package/homebridge-openhab2). This will map any OpenHAB2 ''Items'' decorated in the .items files into the HomeKIT space. The HomeBridge setup is essential since HomeKit can only deal with 99 accessories. Since HomeBridge is a bridge, it only counts as one.
Additional mappings of devices that have troubles with OpenHAB + HomeKit bridge can be added as separate HomeKit devices in Node-RED and hitched up to OpenHAB via MQTT
Cameras are mapped via the ZM node server, separate from the ''ohab'' server
Mappings of devices into Amazon Echo is done on an individual basis via the Node-RED ''alexa-local'' plugin (https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-red-contrib-alexa-local). The downside that each device has to be added separately is outweighed by the fact that the response doesn't have to go thru the Amazon cloud (fast response, works w/o Amazon cloud account)
=== Cameras ===
* cameras will be tied to openhab2 via the zoneminder binding, which will get them onto BasicUI
* use the zm server to install Node.js + the homebridge camera node server, which gets them onto Apple HomeKit
=== ISY binding ===
*install ISY binding * establish items in .items files, decorate for HomeKit/Alexa* create sitemaps for BasicUI * link channels to ISY things
