homecore-hap

Apple Home HomeKit Accessory Protocol bridge for HOMECORE with HAP-1.1 trait surface and mDNS advertisement (P2).

P1 scaffold: trait surface for HAP accessories + characteristics, entity→HAP mapping rules, and bridge ownership. The actual HAP-1.1 TLS server and real mDNS integration are gated behind --features hap-server (P2).

What this crate does

homecore-hap bridges HOMECORE entity state to Apple HomeKit Accessory Protocol (HAP-1.1), allowing HomeKit-native apps (Home, Control Center, Siri) to control HOMECORE devices. It provides:

• HapAccessoryType enum — 11 accessory types matching HA's HomeKit integration (Light, Switch, Thermostat, Lock, Door, etc.)
• HapCharacteristic enum — HAP characteristic types (On, Brightness, Temperature, TargetLockState, etc.)
• EntityToAccessoryMapper — bidirectional rules for mapping HOMECORE entities to HAP accessories (e.g., light.kitchen → Light accessory + On + Brightness characteristics)
• HapBridge — owns and exposes a collection of mapped accessories over HAP
• MdnsAdvertiser trait — abstraction over mDNS advertisement; P1 ships NullAdvertiser (no-op), P2 adds real mDNS via mdns-sd
• RuViewToHapMapper — bridges RuView sensing data (temperature, humidity, occupancy) to HAP characteristics

The bridge itself is a HAP Accessory Bridge (HAP-1.1 spec §8.3), advertising a single service with characteristic slots for each exposed accessory.

Features

• 11 accessory types — Light, Switch, Thermostat, Door, Lock, Window, Blind, Outlet, Fan, Sensor, SecuritySystem
• Bi-directional mapping — HOMECORE entity state ↔ HAP characteristic values with type-safe enums
• HAP-1.1 spec compliance — characteristic types and permissions match HomeKit's published spec
• Trait-based advertisement — MdnsAdvertiser abstraction; swappable implementations (null, real mDNS, etc.)
• RuView integration — maps WiFi sensing data (occupancy, temperature, vital signs) to HomeKit sensor accessories
• No TLS server in P1 — bridge compiles and tests pass with --no-default-features; real server lands in P2 with --features hap-server
• Home.app compatible — exposed accessories appear in Home app on any HomeKit hub (Apple TV, HomePod, HomePod mini)

Capabilities

Capability	Type	Method	Notes
Define accessory type	Trait	HapAccessoryType::Light etc. (11 variants)	Enum; no instantiation yet (P1)
Define characteristic	Trait	HapCharacteristic::On, Brightness, etc.	Enum; values encoded as HAP TLV
Map entity to accessory	Mapping	EntityToAccessoryMapper::map_light()	Takes EntityId + State; returns HapAccessory
Expose accessory	Bridge	HapBridge::expose(accessory)	Adds to the bridge's characteristic list
Advertise bridge	mDNS	NullAdvertiser::advertise() (P1)	No-op stub; real mDNS in P2
Advertise bridge (P2)	mDNS	mdns_sd::ServiceInstanceBuilder	Real mDNS via --features hap-server
Bridge state query	Bridge	HapBridge::list_accessories()	Returns exposed accessories + their characteristics
Characteristic write	Characteristic	HAP WriteRequest TLV (P2)	Home.app button press → service call
Characteristic read	Characteristic	HAP ReadResponse TLV (P2)	Home.app query → current entity state

Comparison to Home Assistant

Aspect	Home Assistant	homecore-hap
Framework	HA's hap-python (pure Python)	Rust 1.89+ with HAP trait abstraction
Server type	Python asyncio HAP-1.1 server	TLS server trait (P2); stub in P1
Accessory types	30+ (Light, Switch, Thermostat, etc.)	11 (Light, Switch, Thermostat, Door, Lock, Window, Blind, Outlet, Fan, Sensor, SecuritySystem)
mDNS	mdns-py broadcast via asyncio	Abstraction + real mDNS (P2) or no-op stub (P1)
Entity filtering	YAML include_domains + exclude_entities	Mapper rules (planned P2)
HomeKit hub requirement	Yes (for remote access)	Yes (same as HomeKit)
Pairing code generation	Automatic (HA web UI)	Manual setup code (P2)
Characteristic persistence	HomeKit cloud only	Paired with homecore state machine

Performance

• Entity→HAP mapping — < 100 μs per entity (enum lookups + type conversions)
• HAP write latency — ~10 ms (TLS decrypt + characteristic parse + entity state set); bounded by homecore state machine lock contention
• mDNS advertisement (P2) — ~50 ms multicast broadcast; periodic rediscovery on network change
• Memory overhead per accessory — ~500 bytes (enum + characteristic slots + metadata)
• No per-crate benchmarks yet — a follow-up issue tracks baseline measurements

Usage

Mapping an entity (P1):

use homecore_hap::{EntityToAccessoryMapper, HapBridge, HapAccessoryType};
use homecore::{EntityId, State};
use std::collections::HashMap;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let light_id = EntityId::parse("light.kitchen").unwrap();
    let state = State::new("on", HashMap::new());

    // Map the entity to a HAP Light accessory
    let mut mapper = EntityToAccessoryMapper::new();
    if let Ok(accessory) = mapper.map_light(&light_id, &state) {
        println!("Mapped to HAP: {:?}", accessory.accessory_type);

        // Expose it via the bridge
        let mut bridge = HapBridge::new();
        bridge.expose(accessory);
        println!("Exposed {} accessories", bridge.list_accessories().len());
    }
}

Real HAP server (P2, via --features hap-server):

cargo build -p homecore-hap --features hap-server
# The server will advertise over mDNS and accept HomeKit pairing requests

Relation to other HOMECORE crates

homecore-hap (HomeKit bridge)
├─ homecore (state machine; bridge reads entity states)
├─ homecore-api (exposes HAP state via REST /api for remote debugging)
├─ homecore-server (starts the bridge on homecore init)
└─ homecore-automation (can trigger state changes via service calls)
