HACSCloud polling

A custom version of the home assistant hive component

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
`climate`	Thermostat
`binary_sensor`	Sensor (motion, contact, leak, smoke…)
`sensor`	Sensor (temperature, humidity, air quality…)
`water_heater`	Water heater (as a thermostat)

What people report

Hive lights and thermostats work via cloud but the integration repeatedly fails setup or reauth after Hive API changes. No Hive EV charger support.

Hive GU10 bulbs	Partly works Cloud	Setup failures needing reinstall and removing old trusted devices Saved copy Hi there I have has custom component on HA on a RPi4 working great for a few years now.
