| Device | Status | What they said | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fadini Combi 740 gate | Works | Add-in mergedSaved copyI have a gate that is controlled through KNX (amongst others). The gate is driven by a Fadini Combi 740, hence I wrote a Fadini addin for homebridge-knx. Please consider making this part of the distribution. More documentation can be found in the module source.

| Gira Jalousie actuator | Works | Window covering with tilt built on Gira add-inSaved copyHey! Please have a look. Basis for this is "GiraJalousieActuator.js". I have also removed the timer as this didn't work for me. The "onKNXValueChange" for "CurrentPosition" takes care about this once the shutter is at it's end-end-position. This is tested in my environment and works afaik. //giase Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-22. | PR #59 · 2016-11 |
| MDT rolling shutter actuator | Works | Add-in merged; shutter must move once after startup to sync statusSaved copyHave been using it for the past 3 months without issues. After starting up Homebridge, the shutter needs to move once before the status is picked up correctly. Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-22. | PR #167 · 2020-05 |

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.
