🔹 A Home Assistant integration to turn your browser into a controllable entity and media player
In Apple Home through HomeKit Bridge
What HomeKit Bridge makes of each kind of entity this integration creates, read from its source code. A device only gets the ones that apply to it.
| Entity | Shows up as | Note |
|---|---|---|
light | Light | |
media_player | TV, receiver or media switches | Needs its own HomeKit Bridge in accessory mode |
camera | Camera | Needs its own HomeKit Bridge in accessory mode |
binary_sensor | Sensor (motion, contact, leak, smoke…) | |
sensor | Sensor (temperature, humidity, air quality…) |
What people report
Mostly a dashboard tool. Only device evidence is old iPads and Companion App issues.
