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
`lock`	Lock	Needs its own HomeKit Bridge in accessory mode
`media_player`	TV, receiver or media switches	Needs its own HomeKit Bridge in accessory mode
`alarm_control_panel`	Security system
`binary_sensor`	Sensor (motion, contact, leak, smoke…)
`sensor`	Sensor (temperature, humidity, air quality…)
`valve`	Valve
`scene`	Scene (as a switch)

What people report

Qolsys panels pair locally and expose zones, Z-Wave, Zigbee lights and locks and Alarm.com thermostats; the maintainer fixes pairing bugs quickly.
