Home Assistant Red Energy Integration
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 |
|---|---|---|
sensor | Sensor (temperature, humidity, air quality…) | |
button | Button (as a switch) |
How it connects

Limitations from the README
- Usage data is not updated every polling interval - The integration can check for updates at your configured interval (15 minutes, 30 minutes, etc.), but the actual usage data from Red Energy will only change once per day after their daily update.
- Polling intervals affect API checks, not data freshness - Setting a shorter polling interval (e.g., 15 minutes) means the integration will check Red Energy's API more frequently, but it will continue to see the same usage data until the next daily update.
- Recommended polling intervals - Since data updates daily, longer polling intervals (30 minutes to 4 hours) are recommended to reduce unnecessary API calls while still ensuring you receive updates shortly after Red Energy's daily data refresh.
In ReReHome
Whatever HomeKit Bridge shares reaches Apple Home as normal HomeKit accessories behind your Home Assistant bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls them like any other.
Bridges get their own settings page listing the accessories behind them.
