Bosch Smart Home Camera, Home Assistant custom integration (HACS)
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 |
|---|---|---|
light | Light | |
switch | Switch or outlet | |
camera | Camera | Needs its own HomeKit Bridge in accessory mode |
binary_sensor | Sensor (motion, contact, leak, smoke…) | |
sensor | Sensor (temperature, humidity, air quality…) | |
button | Button (as a switch) | |
select | Mode picker (as switches) |
How it connects
Cloud polling
Goes through the maker’s cloud, asking it for updates every so often. Needs the internet and an account.

In ReReHome
Whatever HomeKit Bridge shares reaches Apple Home as normal HomeKit accessories behind your Home Assistant bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls them like any other.
Bridges get their own settings page listing the accessories behind them.
