Home Assistant integration for TryFi Dog Collar GPS monitoring.
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 | |
binary_sensor | Sensor (motion, contact, leak, smoke…) | |
sensor | Sensor (temperature, humidity, air quality…) | |
select | Mode picker (as switches) | |
device_tracker | Presence (as an occupancy sensor) |
