HomeAssistant integration to monitor the power of a server through its iDrac's Redfish API

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.

`switch`	Switch or outlet
`binary_sensor`	Sensor (motion, contact, leak, smoke…)
`sensor`	Sensor (temperature, humidity, air quality…)
`button`	Button (as a switch)
