DuoFern wall thermostat 9485WorksThermostat plus temperature sensor
Saved copy
One more change for the wall-mounted thermostat (DuoFern 9485) from me. This thermostat actually exposes two devices: the thermostat with deviceNumber 32501812_A a temperature sensor with deviceNumber 32501812_S This change adds support for the sensor. Also changed the thermostat accessory to set all characteristics on startup -- I've seen the Home app reporting zero values otherwise. Other accessories like the blinds are already doing it.

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.
