devolo Home Network
devolo_home_network
The devolo Home Network integration allows you to monitor and control your devolo PLC network. Depending on the device you add to Home Assistant, different use cases are possible. Roughly you can categorize the devices into Wi-Fi and non-Wi-Fi devices. Non-Wi-Fi devices are more or less limited in monitoring your PLC network. The Wi-Fi devices, however, can help with presence detection and remote control of your guest Wi-Fi. For details, please continue reading about the entities and look at the
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.

Limitations from the docs
- This integration only supports using the API the devolo Home Network App uses. The device website usually offers additional features. However, these features are not available via API and thus cannot be supported until devolo adds them to the API.
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.
