The HAP Integration (HomeKit Accessory Protocol) allows you to connect the **nomos system Controller** to **Apple HomeKit**. This is done easily by scanning a QR code with your iPhone or iPad.

**Steps to Set Up:**

1. **Activate HAP:**
   * Make sure the switch is turned **ON** to activate the HAP function.
2. **Start Pairing:**
   * Open the **HomeKit** app on your **iOS** device.
   * Scan the **QR code** displayed on the screen to pair the **nomos system Controller** with HomeKit.
3. **Alternatively: PIN Code:**
   * If you cannot scan the QR code, you can manually enter the displayed **PIN code** into your HomeKit app to establish the connection.
4. **Status of Devices:**
   * The current status shows how many devices from the nomos platform are currently connected to **Apple HomeKit**. For example: “13 out of 149 devices are in use.”
5. **Reset Pairing:**
   * To reset the HomeKit pairing, click the red Reset button if you want to reconfigure the connection to Apple HomeKit.
6. **Set Up HomeKit App:**

   * Once the QR scan (or PIN) has been successfully paired with the HomeKit app, you can continue the integration in the Apple HomeKit app.
