| Telenet set-top box (Belgium) | Partly works | Plugin logged in and created accessory but Home app could not add itSaved copyThis are my logs: Think there is indeed no open port to connect to.

| Virgin Media V6 TiVo box | Not working | Session works but personalisation fails; needs Virgin TV 360 software upgradeSaved copy@ukitconsultant I believe you need to 'upgrade' your Virgin Media v6 box to Virgin TV 360 (https://www.virginmedia.com/shop/customer/virgin-tv-360-upgrade). Although the box hardware remains the same, the system on the box changes (Virgin Media will send you a new rectangular remote). Once that's done, the plugin works as expected.

| Arris VIP5202 (KPN NL) | Won’t be supported | KPN does not use the Liberty Global Horizon platformSaved copyHi. In NL only Ziggo use the LibertyGlobal Horizon platform. KPN does not. Therefore, KPN cannot be supported by eosstb. Sorry. Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-22. | Issue #66 · 2022-06 |

In ReReHome
Whatever this plugin publishes reaches Apple Home as a normal HomeKit accessory behind your Homebridge bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
Bridges get their own settings page listing the accessories behind them.
