Emoncms
emoncms
The Emoncms integration creates sensors for the feeds available in your local or cloud based version of Emoncms.
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 |
|---|---|---|
sensor | Sensor (temperature) |
What people report
Emoncms feeds import as sensors, but device classes are guessed from units, so percent feeds like emonTH humidity are not recognised.

| emonTH humidity sensor | Partly works Local | Humidity feed created but not typed as humidity sensor; closed staleSaved copyIt should be possible by adding `device_class=SensorDeviceClass.HUMIDITY` in the sensorEntityDescription : https://github.com/home-assistant/core/blob/96b2146f2b38b24e2e3b7ed77e342d5f557826df/homeassistant/components/emoncms/sensor.py#L172 But as all measures with a % unit are not humidity, i dont think it is a convenient solution. Maybe we should track the device type from the device module, but can have this info through the emoncms feed API ? Dont think so...
