Hi,

> I would like to create ** custom accessories and projects ** that work directly with Homekit using the method that Apple wants us to use. This is to easily switch to * MFi Program * if I intend to sell a product in the end.

I searched all over the web to try to understand this ** open-source ADK ** that Apple offers and use it to create one of my project ideas that doesn't really work so far: /

Right now I have a ** Raspberry Pi 4B ** that I tried * Homebridge *, but I don't seem to live up to my expectations of easily doing custom projects with it; but the security required with a ** Raspberry Pi ** and SSH configuration drives me crazy.

There are many great libraries that include features for my ideas, although they are great for one-time projects, I don't seem to find a reliable way to combine them into one product.

I used an ** Arduino Uno ** in the past to create an ambitious project that worked perfectly.

I also found that it is possible to use an ** ESP8266 ** to create your Arduino project and connected to a Raspberry that eventually communicates with Homekit, but from my point of view Arduino is not very professional if you intend to distributed.

Can anyone give me some sources that can get me started?

I am ready to learn everything about everything that is needed for this.

Thank you in advance.
