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
- AirNow gives PM2.5, PM10, O3; AQICN adds NO2, SO2, CO
- Homebridge v2 required
