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 | |
binary_sensor | Sensor (motion, smoke) | |
sensor | Sensor (humidity, temperature) |
What people report
RFXtrx works locally with many 433MHz devices; the 2025 ESP32-based RFX-433 failed with the integration.
