## Description

HOOBS is a self-hosted Homebridge hub with a web interface for managing configuration, plugins, and an API, helping you bring smart devices into Apple Home and HomeKit. It runs as a standalone parent application rather than a Homebridge plugin, keeping plugins in a local scope instead of the global Node.js scope, so homelab users get a contained deployment with easier plugin management.
