| Lexmark C3224dw printer | Partly works | Needs the printer's own IPP path in config; initial setup showed no accessoriesSaved copyHello SeydX, can you tell me for which printers the plugin should work all ? For all AirPlay printers or only HP ? I tried it with a Lexmark C3224dw. For this I have entered the IP address in Config but after adding to HK is only the bridge from the plugin is displayed no switch or sensor. If you have a tip would be cool?

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.
