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 | |
media_player | Receiver | Needs its own HomeKit Bridge in accessory mode |
What people report
Onkyo and Integra receivers are controlled over the LAN. Older receivers occasionally hit crashes on unsupported queries; HDMI source select was fixed in 2026.3.

| Onkyo receiver | Works | Described as cool integrationSaved copy… 'bridge' in HA) and quarantine with lots of time, I have been messing with HA and looking at more and more integrations. Decided to explore linking the Onkyo receiver (cool), and old Arlo Pro (cool and sort of useful) and my Orbit Bhyve (useless and maybe drained batteries faster). With that in mind, I thought I would ask HA users what your more useful and useless integrations/automations are. Mine for what it's worth... Useful: 1.

| Onkyo TX-NR626 | Works Local | HDMI source select fixed in 2026.3; scene combination still reportedSaved copyThe problem On the homeassistant/home-assistant:latest docker image (running on RPI5), having a clean onkyo integration selected, it is not switching the source when selected.

When saving the desired value, it says it is fine, but when trying to switch between scenes, it doesn't actually do anything. ### What … Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-23. | Issue #165008 · 2026-03 | |
