Adding Devices into HomeKit Plugin

To control your devices through the Home app, you need to create new widgets within the HomeKit plugin. This allows you to control your devices directly from the app on your Apple device.

Follow these steps:

Click on the Add device button in the top right corner.
Name your device: Give it a unique identifier.
Select the type of device: Available objects for the device will appear.
Objects are divided into three groups (see more here: Types of Devices Available in the HomeKit Plugin):
- Mandatory (marked with a star): These need to be mapped for the device to be added.
- Required: Necessary for the proper functioning of the device.
- Optional: These can be mapped at your discretion.

After mapping the objects, click on Save, and your device will appear in the HomeKit plugin device list.

For each device, all mandatory objects are displayed in the Characteristics column.

Finally, click on the Apply changes button to save the updates.

NOTE:

The Apply changes button will turn red when there are new changes that need confirmation, signaling that you have changes pending to be saved.
If you want your changes to be saved, click on Apply changes.
This button ensures that the changes you make will be reflected in the mobile application.

After adding devices to the Home app, you can assign them to your preferred room structure. This structure can match or differ from your controller's visualization.
