Hi @Hucksleyy91 👋 thank you for opening an issue!

Taking a look at the attached repository, I'm not sure whether this fits into HomeKit very well.

The list of available device categories from Apple can be found here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/homekit/hmaccessorycategory/accessory_category_types

Other than maybe a switch (which we'd have to turn on if the device detects a parcel), I'm not sure if there's a suitable accessory type - would be great to hear your thoughts on this though! What are your thoughts of adding this into a HomeKit enabled house?

We could use the contact sensor Or I use a motion detection for when my washing is done,

I can help with getting it to work and then we can use lots of different types of sensors in homekit which would be awesome

Sounds good - will take a look at adding this device for you - shouldn't be too different to how the ambient light one already added works 👍

I’ll get a cubecell ready and install your plugin, let me know if I’m needed for testing
