Home Assistant Hilo Integration via HACS

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
`switch`	Switch or outlet
`climate`	Thermostat
`sensor`	Sensor (temperature, humidity, air quality…)

3 reports below say how a device from this integration behaves in the Home app.

What people report

Hilo thermostats, lights and dimmers work through the cloud integration and reportedly appear in HomeKit automatically; the Defi sensor does not. Sinope models are supported, but OFF mode is missing.

Sinope TH1120 thermostat	Partly works Cloud		No OFF mode exposed; maintainer lacks hardware to develop it Saved copy Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Many Sinope thermostats (including older models such as the TH1120 series) support an "OFF" mode in the official Sinope and Hilo apps. However, the Home Assistant “Sinope Local” integration exposes only limited `hvac_modes` (e.g., `heat`) and does not allow switching the thermostat to OFF. This means that a key device function is unavailable in Home Assistant even though it works locally through the hub. The first automation I want to do with this is create a mapping of door sensors to baseboard heaters that will turn them off … Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-23.	Issue #767 · 2025-11
