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.

Caveats from the README

  • AirCloud Go not supported
  • Dehumidifiers and purifiers not yet exposed
  • Some switches need host account

HomeKit services in its code
