Radiation sensor #213

Closed sighmon closed 2 years ago

sighmon commented 2 years ago

Hi @brutella,

I've been playing around trying to setup a DF Robot Gravity Geiger Counter in HomeKit with hc (via a Prometheus exporter).

My repo: https://github.com/sighmon/homekit-geiger-counter

In the Home app it reports This accessory is not currently supported by the Home app.

I assume the TypeGeigerCounter UUID I made up is causing the problem, or perhaps the TypeRadiation UUID?

Do you know which UUIDs I should be using? Anything else I have messed up?

You are right, those types are not known to the Apple Home app, and therefore not supported. But other HomeKit apps (ex. Home+) would display the custom types correctly.

@brutella I checked Home+ too, but I can't find it in any of the categories. Should it appear in Sensors seeing I'm setting the type to TypeSensor?

Others are showing up in there fine.

@brutella Any chance you've had the time to have a look at why my sensor isn't showing up in Home+?

brutella commented 2 years ago

I've just checked out your project and I've found an issue where you use the same type for all 3 radiation characteristics. HomeKit doesn't seem to like that and returns an error. Make sure that every characteristic in the radiation service has a different type.

Secondly I've updated Home+ to support your accessory as a sensor. Please install the latest TestFlight build and try it again.

@brutella Do you expect this to work for the 3 radiation characteristics? https://github.com/sighmon/homekit-geiger-counter/pull/3/files

Your TestFlight build of Home+ works perfectly thank you!
