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
- Heat modes map to AUTO/HEAT/COOL; Aux uses oscillate
HomeKit services in its code
Found by scanning the published npm package. A plugin can register a service only for some devices.
