Home Assistant integration for BenQ projectors over the serial and network interface
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 |
|---|---|---|
switch | Switch or outlet | |
media_player | TV, receiver or media switches | Needs its own HomeKit Bridge in accessory mode |
sensor | Sensor (temperature, humidity, air quality…) | |
select | Mode picker (as switches) |
What people report
BenQ projectors are controlled over serial or network bridges locally; BenQ's own spec deviations need workarounds.

| BenQ W2000 projector | Partly works Local | Reported itself as W1110 when off; fix makes model name when on prevailSaved copyI think I came up with a solution for the model name.

| BenQ W5700 projector | Partly works Local | Works over RS-232 via serial bridge; fixes for duplicates and sensors pendingSaved copySummary A set of fixes and improvements found while setting up a BenQ W5700 over RS-232 (Diewu TX1022 serial-to-network bridge). Each commit addresses one topic and can be reviewed on its own. None of these changes depend on a new library release, they work with `benqprojector==0.1.9`. Full W5700 support also needs the library change in rrooggiieerr/benqprojector.py#58; the manifest requirement is left untouched so it can be bumped with the next library release. ## Changes ### 1.
