Complicated basically.
Did lead to a new plugin:
https://www.indigodomo.com/pluginstore/293/Which allows all Esp32 devices to be quickly and easily linked into indigo. Currently supporting all sensors (Lux, motion, pressure etc.). and binary sensors and all other switches etc. I’m finding it very useful for my sensor devices.
The issue with Lock - is we can create a Wallet Home ‘Key’ with homekit code, which looks flashy. But really doesn’t have much use.
To use would need a NFC reader connected to a ESP device at your front door. Open wallet, scan Key (and these security key exchanges are just being worked out) recognises you and unlock door.
The NFC Reader/ESPHome plugin I can eventually use to manage that.
Still a lot of practical issues. And plenty of easier alternatives… eg.
Alternatively - can put a NFC tag at front door and have a shortcut (in Shortcut app) that when certain tag scanned run Homekit command - unlock front door.
(Much easier, simpler and indeed quicker as don’t need to open wallet)
