MySensors
mysensors
The MySensors project combines devices like Arduino, ESP8266, Raspberry Pi, NRF24L01+ and RFM69 to build affordable sensor networks. This integration will automatically add all available devices to Home Assistant, after presentation is done. That is, you do not need to add anything to your configuration for the devices for them to be added. Go to Settings > Tools > States to find the devices that have been identified.
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 | |
cover | Blind, garage door, window or door | |
climate | Thermostat | |
remote | TV remote (activities) | Needs its own HomeKit Bridge in accessory mode |
binary_sensor | Sensor (contact, leak, motion, smoke) | |
sensor | Sensor (humidity, light level, temperature) | |
device_tracker | Presence (as an occupancy sensor) |
What people report
DIY MySensors nodes work via local push; covers had state bugs in 2021.4 and V_TILT cover support was added in 2026.

| MySensors tilt covers (V_TILT) | Works Local | Tilt position and open/close/stop supportedSaved copyBreaking change ## Proposed change Add support for the MySensors `V_TILT` value type in the cover platform. Covers that report `V_TILT` now expose tilt position and can handle tilt open, close, stop, and set-position actions. This is a follow-up/replacement for closed PR https://github.com/home-assistant/core/pull/149591. The branch is rebased on current `dev` and no longer includes the separate `pymysensors` dependency bump, which is already present in `dev`. ## Type of change - [ ] Dependency upgrade - [ ] Bugfix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue) - [ ] New integration (thank you!) … Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-23. | PR #173845 · 2026-06 |
