… to get existing HomeKit devices to send their status to an MQTT broker? The use case I'm trying to solve for is the following: I've built a number of ESP8266-based IR blasters to control my Mitsubishi AC units. The software running on the ESP8266 uses MQTT to send and receive the commands, and I'm able to control them reliably via MQTT Thing plugin. I would like to use the temperature data from the sensors I already have around my house to feed into the "heater cooler" devices I've created via MQTT Thing, but I can't seem to find a way to output temperature data FROM HomeKit to MQTT.

Each row is one report from a plugin’s GitHub issues, pull requests, discussions, wiki or docs, or from r/homebridge. Check the date and the linked thread before you buy.

In ReReHome

Once a Homebridge plugin publishes it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Homebridge bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
