HomeKit Software Bridge... i.e. Indigo Domotics?

Will Apple allow for a HomeKit Software Bridge?

For those of you that are die hard MAC addicts coupled with Home Automation enthusiasts..... you are probably running Indigo. If not... you should... Anyway, I was greatly disappointed to hear that the Apple HomeKit technology will not allow for a software based bridge. Like many Indigo users, my home is full of Mac Minis, multiple iPads, Apple TVs, iPhones and the like all leveraging the power of Indigo to perform complex home automation tasks that no hardware solution has ever been able to match. The HomeKit venture is apparently skipping over the automation enthusiasts and just going straight to the automation weekend warriors. I am greatly disappointed in Apple for this oversight.

If you think that HomeKit will provide all the solutions.... here are a couple things my house does with indigo.....

If the temperature outside is warmer than the temperature inside and the HVAC heater is on, indigo sends me a text message informing me of that and asks if I want to turn off the heater. The opposite happens if it's cooler outside and the AC is on.

If my back door is open for more than 5 minutes, Indigo sends me a message to let me know and asks if I want to turn off the AC unit (if running)

When someone rings my doorbell, Indigo sends me a text message with an attached picture of the person at the door with links to turn on or off the patio light and to lock or unlock the front door.

With wifi smart phone detection, Indigo can let me know who is home, who isn't home, for how long, when everyone is home, when everyone is gone and trigger actions based on occupancy.

I have virtual keypads for my alarm panel, apple TVs and iTunes... all accessible from any of my MAC or i devices.

I can have indigo send me notifications on several platforms so I can customize which device gets what notifications and how that device responds... Growl/Prowl, Pushover, Notifications, Email, SMS, Audio through server or through iTunes, etc.

As you can see, these are just a few of the complex things that I would sacrifice if I elected to use HomeKit to turn on/off my lights.
