In ReReHome

Whatever this plugin publishes reaches Apple Home as a normal HomeKit accessory behind your Homebridge bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.

Bridges get their own settings page listing the accessories behind them.

Caveats from the README

  • Siren is quiet and only sounds 10-15 s per camera natively

HomeKit services in its code

Found by scanning the published npm package. A plugin can register a service only for some devices.
