I am considering the installation of some skylights that open and close automatically. They are HomeKit enabled. I am assuming that HomeKit bridge is one way, that is, new HomeKit devices won't show on up on Indigo.
I was wondering if I should create a virtual device to control the skylights such that when a trigger or scheduled event happens then it would turn on or off the virtual device. This would be relayed via HomeKit bridge through its automation.
Thus, if it get's warm in the house and it's cooler outside and I am home, it would turn on the virtual device and the skylight would open. If it is raining and I want to close the skylight, it will turn the virtual device off which would be recognized by HomeKit and would close the skylight.
Is this possible? How would I set up the virtual device? It doesn't seem to work that way. Is there another way I should approach this? Thank you all for this fantastic community.
