In Apple Home through HomeKit Bridge

What HomeKit Bridge makes of each kind of entity this integration creates, read from its source code. A device only gets the ones that apply to it.

Entity	Shows up as	Note
`lock`	Lock	Needs its own HomeKit Bridge in accessory mode
`camera`	Camera	Needs its own HomeKit Bridge in accessory mode
`binary_sensor`	Sensor (contact, motion, occupancy)
`button`	Button (as a switch)

3 reports below say how a device from this integration behaves in the Home app.

August smart lock (3rd gen Pro with Connect bridge)	Works Cloud	Partly in Home Lock vanished in bridge mode; reappears when paired in accessory mode	Needs separate HomeKit accessory-mode entry in 2021.4+ Saved copy The problem As of 2021.4.4, August door locks are no longer being passed into HomeKit.

August WiFi smart lock	Works		Easy to bring into HA; Z-Wave version reported poor Saved copy I use August lock. I have been using it since it came out.
