DeviceStatusWhat they saidSource
Della split system (Tuya)Won’t be supportedOnly added via Home Assistant, not Homebridge
Saved copy
Nope, I ended up spinning up a Home Assistant server to handle all my Tuya devices. It was the only way to add my Della split system. I have in the computer room. Homebridge is still my fave for everything else

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.
