Hi @PatchworkBoy, I read your post on domoticz forum and I'm wondering if there is not a workaround to have a selector switch in Homekit. What about exposing a selector switch as a thermostat? This type of accessory/device is recognized by Homekit which offers the ability to select a mode. I'm asking that because exposing each state of the selector as an individual domoticz switch will increase the number of devices exposed to Homekit which leads to a quick reach of the configuration sync limit between Homekit devices (around 120 devices).

HomeKit still only allows specific modes (Auto, Heating, Cooling, Off), not the full range of those defined in your selector switch.

Okay. Thanks. Hope Apple will add this type of switches soon.
