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 | |
binary_sensor | Sensor (motion, contact, leak, smoke…) | |
sensor | Sensor (temperature, humidity, air quality…) | |
select | Mode picker (as switches) |
How it connects

Talks to the device on your network, and the device tells Home Assistant the moment something changes.
