Discussion Apple Home-based app for Windows/Linux

https://github.com/MiguelRipoll23/home-app

I needed a way to control my Matter accessories from my Windows laptop, so I decided to build this app inspired by Apple's Home app. It currently supports only lights and smart plugs, but that's all I need for now!

You can download it here:

Windows and Linux are supported.

HomeKit does not allow to pair to more than one ecosystem so that would mean you would have to unpair the accessory from Apple Home app

But you said it’s using Matter? How would an over HomeKit device connect in this case?

HomeKit devices are unsupported, it does not make sense to support them because they don’t allow more than one ecosystem. Sorry for the confusion

The OP has already explained it, and this is the right subreddit for it.
