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,
MyTouchHome and Eve are known to work. The PIN code for adding devices is listed in the config file you edited earlier.
