State of the project about hap-rs HOT 6 CLOSED

Thanks for your interest! :)

The library is already fully functional except for camera streams.

Gonna add proper docs, examples and a readme explaining the core concepts of the HAP as well as this particular implementation tomorrow and publish the project to crates.io soon.

If you want to dive deeper into how the protocol works you can obtain the full non-commercial specification from Apple's HomeKit developer page. But this library really should abstract quite a lot of the complex parts of it away.

Thanks for the example.

Is there a way to dynamically add devices or should I restart IpTransport every time I add device?

from hap-rs.

Good point! Dynamically adding/removing devices is a feature that still has to be implemented, as well as a way to persistently associate the AIDs/IIDs.

from hap-rs.

So I implemented add_accessory() and remove_accessory() methods to add/remove Accessories dynamically. An example is provided in the readme. Let me know if this helps and please feel free to open more specific issues if you run into any quirks or missing features.

Thank you.

Do you have an idea of how I could start the server in a different thread ?

from hap-rs.

With v0.0.4, the HAP server is now thread-safe. So you can do stuff like this now:

let mut ip_transport = IpTransport::new(Config::default()).unwrap();
ip_transport
    .add_accessory(outlet::new(Information::default()).unwrap())
    .unwrap();

std::thread::spawn(move || {
    ip_transport.start().unwrap();
});

It's still lacking a convenient API for inter-thread operations on the server tho. I'm thinking of overhauling this crate's public API for v0.1 into something like what Actix does (or just integrating Actix).

Closing this for now, as there's no concrete actionability left in this issue.
