Drone Mobile Remote Start Home Assistant Integration
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 | |
lock | Lock | 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) | |
device_tracker | Presence (as an occupancy sensor) |

| DroneMobile remote start | Partly works Cloud | Remote start switch sometimes stays on; MFA login support addedSaved copy… in HA then you'll be able to create a server to manage the files from your Mac Another thing I noticed in HomeKit is that I have switches for Panic and Remote Start. However, I’m missing switches for Trunk and Door open/close. Would that be added at a later time? In Home Assistant, it is there, but since they aren’t switches and they say “unlock” in the main UI, I guess that’s where HomeKit doesn’t recognize them as switches. <img width="1728" height="1117" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/bfdac7fa-f037-4 Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-23. | Issue #49 · 2025-11 |
