 The Home Kit plugin requires that Python 3.7 be installed on the host machine. It does not have to be the default python version in use if you have multiple installs and it can coexist happily with multiple python versions if you are using the environment management systems. If you use an installer from python.org the default install location will be in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7 which is what is needed for this plugin to work properly. Download Python 3.7 from the [[https://www.python.org/downloads/mac-osx/|Python.org Releases]] page. Please download the 64 bit only version as 32 bit apps will not continue to run on newer OS versions. The Home Kit plugin requires that Python 3.7 be installed on the host machine.
