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

  • Not needed for VIDAA U6/U7 TVs with native HomeKit
  • HU50A6800FUW reported incompatible
  • Some TVs always show ON
