Setup

Install Node and git for your operating system. If you're running Debian/Ubuntu, you can run the following two lines:

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_5.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs build-essential libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev git

Next, run the following lines to install the bridge

git clone --recursive https://github.com/Hackworth/VeraHomeKitBridge.git
cd VeraHomeKitBridge
npm install
cd lib/HAP-NodeJS
npm install
cd -
Edit config.json, enter your Vera's IP address as well as the names of your garage doors, if any. This is case sensitive.
{
"VeraIP": "192.168.0.8",
"PIN": "031-45-154",
"GarageDoors":[
"Garage Door",
"Second Garage Door"
]
}

Finally, run the following to start the HomeKit bridge:
npm run start

There are several applications in the iOS App Store you can use to add HomeKit devices, <br>MyTouchHome and Eve are known to work. The PIN code for adding devices is listed in the config file you edited earlier.
