First of all, many thanks for this plugin. It's overwhelming how much is in there. I have `v2.0.74` installed. I am curious on how domestic hot water DHW works.

The current implementation is based on feature path patterns inferred from the existing API …

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.
