With device_class set, HomeKit exposes humidity and temperature sensors correctly
device_class option added in 1.2.0
Saved copy
Some integrations use device_class to determine what to do (e.g. HomeKit uses it to expose humidity / temperature correctly). Would be great to have the ability to specify this via configuration. If the config is not specified, don't specify the device type to preserve current behaviour.

In ReReHome

Once Home Assistant’s HomeKit Bridge shares it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Home Assistant bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
