Open latel opened 2 months ago

Your Current NRCHKB Plugin Version

1.6.1

Operating System

homeassistant os with nodered addon

How can we help?

When certain entity is unavailable in homeassistant, I want to make it show no response in homekit app as well. I tried StatusActive and reachable, none of them works.

I want to show them here: IMG_8794 IMG_8795

Any more details?

If this is specific to some hardware or specific software version, please explain here.

Any code or functions to add?

With the keyword NO_RESPONSE:

e.g. for lightbulb:

{
  payload: {
    On: "NO_RESPONSE"
  }
}

Then to remove the status, send a normal/standard payload.
