Hello would it be possible to integrate this bridge with home assistant? Home assistant to MQTT bridge. Thanks for everything, Víctor.

Home Assistant already supports MQTT and HomeKit so you can actually accomplish the same functionality as HomeKit2MQTT without any integration. I can’t really see any benefit of an integration unless I’m not understanding what you are wanting to accomplish.

I’ve recently started migrating my setup to Home Assistant and it’s been working pretty well so far.

Hello, it would be nice to have a bridge in mqtt and home assitant type like what you have done homekit2mqtt, where the topics are related to the physical elements and then inside home assistant just call the element to use it in the graphic part for example with lovelace, it would be a better integration and if all this configuration and association could be in an accessible file type xml or a database it would be very good so for example with another external system for example a plc controller could read this configuration and parameterize all mqtt topics to the elements both the orders and the shipment of the states.
