It works (Xgimi Z6X), I just successfully set it up. Make sure you set static IP and select an app to start (Netflix or Youtube or MX Player), example config:

{
    "platform": "XGimiTeleVisionPlatform",
    "devices": [
        {
            "name": "XGimi TV",
            "host": "10.0.85.244",
            "inputs": [
                {
                    "name": "MX Player Pro",
                    "type": "APPLICATION",
                    "package": "com.mxtech.videoplayer.pro"
                }
            ],
            "manufacturer": "XGimi",
            "model": "Z6X",
            "serialNumber": "DSXXXXXXXXXX",
            "firmwareRevision": "1.0.0"
        }
    ],
    "_bridge": {
        "username": "0E:65:14:AE:CB:A8",
        "port": 56472
    }
}

Adding the TV to the Home app

Since HomeKit expects only one TV per bridge they will be declared as external accessories and acts as a bridge.
This means that a TV will not appear in your Home app until you add it!

To add a TV to HomeKit follow this steps:

1. Open the Home app on your device.
2. Tap the Home tab, then tap .
3. Tap Add Accessory, and select I Don't Have a Code or Cannot Scan.
4. Select the tv accessory you want to pair.
5. Enter the Homebridge PIN, this can be found under the QR code in Homebridge UI or your Homebridge logs, alternatively you can select Use Camera and scan the QR code again.

For more info check the homebridge wiki Connecting Homebridge To HomeKit.
