VIMAR by-me integration into home-assistant.io
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 | |
media_player | TV, receiver or media switches | Needs its own HomeKit Bridge in accessory mode |
binary_sensor | Sensor (motion, contact, leak, smoke…) | |
sensor | Sensor (temperature, humidity, air quality…) | |
scene | Scene (as a switch) |
What people report
Works locally with the older VIMAR By-Me web server; the new cloud-only 01410 gateway is not supported.
