Ich bin begeistert. Habe heute den Raspberry Pi 3 meines Sohnes "gestohlen" und nach ca. 2 Stunden Arbeit läuft die Bridge an meinem Demobrett, inklusive Home-App plus erster KNX Geräte. Das wird die erste Visualisierung für mein neues KNX Haus; ich werde nicht weiter suchen.
Also bei mir läuft auch alles super. So hatte ich es mir vorgestellt. Nicht so kompliziert wir andere Systeme.
You need the HomeKit Bridge for KNX software to access KNX devices from the Apple Home app. The software communicates with the KNX bus and with HomeKit.
The software package can be downloaded the project page on GitHub. The system runs on macOS and Linux, and needs only minimal resources. You can use a Raspberry Pi to run it continuously.

Cost Example
| HomeKit Brücke für KNX – Lizenz | HomeKit Bridge for KNX – License | € 299 |
| Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Kit | € 60 | |
| iPad WiFi 10,2” | € 379 | |
| Gesamt | Total | € 359 |

This example uses a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B, which is not the newest model on the market. But it's more than enough to run the HomeKit Bridge for KNX.
The HomeKit Bridge for KNX also requires a KNX IP gateway to connect to the KNX bus. This device is not listed in the example, because it is already installed in most KNX installations.
You want to install the system without much work? No problem. You only need to copy a pre-configured operating system on a memory card and put it into a Raspberry Pi. Done!
You want to install the software on a linux server yourself? Perfect. You can download the package via the command line and install it.
