PVOutput
pvoutput
The PVOutput integration brings the data from your PVOutput account into Home Assistant. PVOutput is a free service for sharing, comparing, and monitoring live solar photovoltaic (PV) system data. If you are already uploading data from your inverter or logger to PVOutput, this integration lets you display that data in Home Assistant without running a second integration against your inverter directly.
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.

Limitations from the docs
- The integration is read-only. It cannot push data back to PVOutput.
- Which sensors report values depends on what your PVOutput uploader sends. If your uploader only reports generation, the consumption, temperature, and voltage sensors remain unavailable.
- The 2-minute polling interval is fixed to stay within PVOutput's API rate limits and cannot be changed.
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.
