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 |
|---|---|---|

climate | Thermostat | |
binary_sensor | Sensor (motion, contact, leak, smoke…) | |
sensor | Sensor (temperature) | |
water_heater | Water heater (as a thermostat) |
What people report
Genius Hub zones, valves and smart plugs are documented, but ESW thermostat devices were not supported in a user report. Some users also hit setup failures after updates.
