Type "Doorbell" showing not supported #109

Closed Maykel1969 closed 3 years ago

Maykel1969 commented 3 years ago

Hi, I really like playing with this plugin and have some nice things setup with it. Especially openen and closing a door with siri is cool :-)

But now I have connected my doorbell to one of the inputs and I expected that I can use the type "Doorbell" input. For some reason this results in a "not supported" message in the home app. If I use "ContactSensor" it works fine but the icon is not correct. Am I doing something wrong or are there other options to fix this?

Grt, Maykel

Apple stop supporting doorbell. Only work if is video doorbell. So can’t use this Homebridge as doorbell.

That's sad.

I do have a Logitech circle view on my front door but now I want to add the doorbell functionality with a direct GPIO input on the Raspberry Pi. I've seen sollutions with http camera's but this is an official homekit camera.

I guess I'll have to use the "MotionSensor" instead.
