nRF5 SDK for HomeKit Deprecated

Software development kit for HomeKit solutions

nRF5 SDK for HomeKit is now deprecated and will not be upgraded to HomeKit Accessory Development Kit v5 (ADK v5) or any future version of the ADK. It is not possible to obtain a HomeKit certification for a new product using the nRF5 SDK for HomeKit, as it is based on the deprecated ADK v4.

For new HomeKit accessories development Nordic offers HomeKit add-on for nRF Connect SDK.
