Managing HomeKit devices using Homebridge

Post by Bildhauer »

Hello,

I want to manage devices which were added to Apple HomeKit directly by Indigo. Using HomeBridge I know that a device linked to the Z-Wave network can be published to Apple HomeKit. Is it possible to do it vice versa (publishing a Apple HomeKit device to Indigo)?

Thanks in advance a lot for helping me.

Not simple. You can in principle create virtual devices in Indigo which you add to HomeKit with HKB and then set up automation triggers in the home app to turn those on and off when you switch the real devices on and off. Messy. And only works with simple devices (not thermostats for example).
