Home Assistant Integration for Hatch Rest Mini

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
`media_player`	TV, receiver or media switches	Needs its own HomeKit Bridge in accessory mode
`binary_sensor`	Sensor (motion, contact, leak, smoke…)
`sensor`	Sensor (temperature, humidity, air quality…)
`scene`	Scene (as a switch)
`select`	Mode picker (as switches)

Hatch Rest and Restore devices work via cloud push; some users saw devices go unavailable until a connection fix.
