IronOS
iron_os
The IronOS integration seamlessly connects Home Assistant with PINE64's Pinecil V2 soldering irons, allowing for remote monitoring and control. This integration provides real-time updates on temperature, power, and various other settings and diagnostic information.
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 | |

Limitations from the docs
- IronOS does not support turning on, waking from sleep, or waking from idle mode via Bluetooth. These actions are restricted to ensure safety and prevent unintended operation of the device.
- Updating the device from Home Assistant is not possible, as IronOS does not support over-the-air (OTA) updates.
