Niko Home Control
niko_home_control
The Niko Home Control integration allows you to integrate your Niko connected controller (with Home Control 1) 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 |
|---|---|---|
light | Light | |
cover | Blind, garage door, window or door | |
climate | Thermostat | |
scene | Scene (as a switch) |
