raspberry pi Raspberry Pi Homekit Help

[caleblovespizza]

Right now i'm trying to build a Raspberry Pi project that will allow my family to turn the lights of their Christmas tree on and off using Apple's Homekit and Siri. However, at the moment I can't get the software side of the project working. Does anyone have a tutorial that I can follow that will allow me to turn the GPIO of a Pi on and off using Homekit? I've seen Make Use Of's tutorial, but that requires the use of another Arduino board that I just cannot justify the purchase of.

I think this tutorial will do you nicely: http://www.instructables.com/id/Raspberry-Pi-2-Homekit-from-zero-to-Hey-Siri/. I would like to try it out myself before promoting it but I accidental fried my pi last month. Let me know if it works in the end.

Cheers
