Velux
velux
The Velux integration for Home Assistant allows you to connect to a Velux KLF 200 interface so you can control io-homecontrol devices, such as windows, blinds, lights, and switches. The integration lets you start scenes configured on the KLF 200.
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 | |
switch | Switch or outlet | |
cover | Garage door, blind, window | |
binary_sensor | Sensor (leak) | |
button | Button (as a switch) | |
scene | Scene (as a switch) |

Limitations from the docs
- The number entities for the window opening limitation and the rain sensor binary sensor use the same data from the gateway. If you set the opening limitation to 11% or less, the rain sensor can show as wet even when no rain is detected.
