Gardena Bluetooth
gardena_bluetooth
The Gardena Bluetooth integration allows users to integrate their Gardena Bluetooth devices into Home Assistant.
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 | |
binary_sensor | Sensor (motion, contact, leak, smoke…) | |
sensor | Sensor (temperature) | |
valve | Valve | |
button | Button (as a switch) | |
select | Mode picker (as switches) |
What people report
Gardena Bluetooth valves and timers are controlled locally. Offline schedules cannot be controlled and the official app can lock out HA.
