Sipeed NanoKVM integration for Home Assistant
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 |
|---|---|---|
switch | Switch or outlet | |
camera | Camera | Needs its own HomeKit Bridge in accessory mode |
binary_sensor | Sensor (motion, contact, leak, smoke…) | |
sensor | Sensor (temperature, humidity, air quality…) | |
button | Button (as a switch) | |
select | Mode picker (as switches) |

Limitations from the README
- Host updates from discovery are disabled when Use static host only is enabled.
- Camera stream availability depends on HDMI input/source status.
- NanoKVM Pro still snapshots are skipped, because fetching one freezes any stream that is being watched (sipeed/NanoKVM-Pro#157).
- Feature-specific entities only appear when the device reports support for them.
In ReReHome
Whatever HomeKit Bridge shares reaches Apple Home as normal HomeKit accessories behind your Home Assistant bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls them like any other.
Bridges get their own settings page listing the accessories behind them.
