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
- Smaller than hjdhjd's homebridge-unifi-protect
- Addressing console by IP prevents RTSPS certificate verification
