Limitations from the docs
- The light state shown in Home Assistant may not always reflect the actual device state. Most RGB devices don't report their status back to OpenRGB, so it assumes the state based on the last command sent. If other applications control the same devices, the state reported by OpenRGB (and thus Home Assistant) may be …
- Changes made directly in the OpenRGB application may not be immediately reflected in Home Assistant (the integration polls for updates every 15 seconds).
- Some OpenRGB features like per-zone and per-LED control are not yet supported through Home Assistant.
- The profile select entity cannot be used to determine which profile is currently active as this information is not currently provided by the OpenRGB SDK server.
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.
