HomeAssistant integration for Sensi thermostat
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 | |
climate | Thermostat | |
binary_sensor | Sensor (motion, contact, leak, smoke…) | |
sensor | Sensor (temperature, humidity, air quality…) |
2 reports below say how a device from this integration behaves in the Home app.
What people report
Sensi thermostats work via the Sensi cloud; HomeKit Sensi models are inconsistently detected by HA's native HomeKit controller.

| Sensi thermostat with temperature range | Works Cloud | Auto-mode temperature range support addedSaved copyInclude support for temperature range for auto mode. - The temperature setting for heat and cool modes uses Cooling Min Setpoint and Heating Max Setpoint as the range from Sensi app. - The temperature setting for auto mode uses 45 and 99 as the range limits. - The precision for temperature selection is whole number both for C and F (same as mobile app). - BREAK: The previous numeric entities for cool and heat setpoints are no longer needed and have been removed.

| Sensi Touch thermostat | Works | Works in Home HomeKit Device integration connects and controls it | Controlled by HomeKit Device integration per userSaved copyNot sure if this can help or not. But Homekit Device Integration connects and controls my Sensi Touch. Maybe you can use Homekit as a slave integration or see how they are getting access. I will post a few screenshot below.

| Sensi Classic with HomeKit thermostat | Partly works Cloud | Partly in Home HA HomeKit controller found 1 of 4 units | Only some units detected via HomeKit controller; not auto-discovered for ownerSaved copyI have 2 similar looking Sensi thermostats. My older Sensi thermostat reports itself as "Sensi Classic" while the newer one as "Sensi Classic with HomeKit". So it could be a thermostat model thing. But neither of them were auto detected. ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯ Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-23. | Issue #11 · 2023-09 |

Limitations from the README
- Simultaneous login- Simultaneous logins from the mobile app and integration typically work without issues. However, thermostat property changes may occasionally fail to apply, potentially due to Sensi backend issues or the thermostat temporarily going offline.
- Online - Testing revealed that the incoming device data continues to indicate a device as online even after it has been disconnected from wifi for around 10 minutes. It is unclear what happens to operations during this period.
- Temperature unit - The temperature unit displayed for the thermostat is controlled by the HomeAssistant's unitsystem` setting. Make sure it matches the thermostat. Issue
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.
