Hi, Thanks for your plugin. I wanted to know if you could also integrate IP cameras like the C1 (with infrared). I previously used the Foscam-Security plugin (https://github.com/nitaybz/homebridge-foscam-security) to activate an alarm system via its motion sensor.

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

  • v1.0 covers spotlight only

HomeKit services in its code

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