Cannot See Slats in Home app

[danhvos]

Describe Your Problem:

I just installed your plugin and am excited to see/use the slat control features! However, that is what is not working. I can adjust fan speed, temp and mode. I cannot adjust the slats

In the Homebridge website, I see tiles for the slats, but they are greyed out. In the Homekit app on my phone, there are no tiles for slats.

Feel free to email me at danhvos1@outlook.com. I look forward to using your plugin!

Hi @danhvos. Regrettably, I haven't discovered a method to display the slats within the Home app. It appears that there is a known issue with the default "Home" app, which presently lacks support for the slats service type. However, third-party HomeKit apps such as Eve do offer support for slats and should display them as part of this integration.

Here is what the slats look like for me in the eve app:

This is a good reminder that I need to add this as a note to the readme. I'm hoping at some point I can figure out how to get slats working in the home app. Its a feature I would like as well.

I made a PR to update the information about this in the readme, but I'll leave this issue open while I try to find a way to get the slats to display in the default home app as well.

Ah, that makes sense. More importantly to my usage, are the slats programmable with Homekit Automations, as currently implemented? If I can operate them that way, it will completely solve my need. Thank you so much for this solution!
