Displaying sensors from VD in the Home Kit #123

Open johngrinders opened 4 years ago

johngrinders commented 4 years ago

Hey.

  1. Here it came to make virtual temperature, humidity and water leakage sensors. I created it without problems, everything works, but I was faced with the fact that I was able to calmly throw the first two sensors in the Home Kit, through the HomeyKit application, but I can not throw the leakage sensor. Although there is one real sensor in the Home Kit, and without problems there it is defined as a leak sensor. In this regard, I would like to know if this is a problem in the VD or HomeyKit application? Is it possible to fix this somehow? If you need help checking all the other sensors that can be rolled, I can help.
  2. Since it is possible to create sensors, one of the suggestions, when choosing icons when creating a device, can add icons for the sensors themselves, counters, etc. to make it easier to navigate. I can also help if you need to draw icons.

So overall the application is great, thanks for it !!!

Hi John,

Thanks for your report and I'm glad you like the VD-app.

  1. I understood that HomeyKit only exports devices with a certain device-class. Which class does the leakage-sensor has? Perhaps also the Capability has a role in this. In any case, it is HomeyKit who selects the devices that can end up in HomeKit.
  2. I've thought of this before, but icons cannot be uploaded when pairing. As alternative, increasing the number of icons that come with the app will increase the app-size. So I'm cautious to do that as well.

Correct capability is "alarm_water", it's boolean. Works for Homey and for Homekit. Please add "Flood sensor" with this capability. Thank you!
