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 | |
binary_sensor | Sensor (contact, motion, smoke) | |
sensor | Sensor (temperature) | |
water_heater | Water heater (as a thermostat) |
What people report
