Expose unlatch service on homekit

[pilot1981]

Hi, Anyone know howto expose unlatch service on HomeKit?

I know howto expose switch on HomeKit using home assistant, but I’m not able to create a new switch/button starting from your unlatch service….

can you help me?

you need to make a template switch which you can expose. maybe there is a better way but this is how I solved it.

`switch:

• platform: template switches: tueroeffner: value_template: "{{ is_state('binary_sensor.haustuer', 'on') }}" turn_on: service: lock.open target: entity_id: lock.nuki_chaosnuki_lock turn_off: service: lock.open target: entity_id: lock.nuki_chaosnuki_lock`

Hi, I tried to do this one:

template switch per NUKI:

switch:

• platform: template switches: nuki2: turn_on: service: lock.open target: entity_id: lock.nuki_porta_ingresso_lock turn_off: service: script.do_nothing

  service: lock.lock

    target:
      entity_id: lock.nuki_porta_ingresso_lock

But I only want a button with unlatch feature, this could be the best solution to use with homekit automation...if I use switch with open and lock feature I could have an issue when door is open, in this case homekit automation can't unlatch the door...

"service: lock.open" is the unlatch feature you are looking for. you should have 3 services: lock.lock lock.unlock lock.open where again, lock.open is unlatch ;)

as you can see, this is the switch I generate with the code above and it's exposed to HK and it simply unlatch the door if lock is open. if lock is locked it will first unlock and then unlatch the door.

what you see on homekit? a switch with 2 or 3 positions...

what happen when door is opened and you ask to open/unlatch? homekit is able to unlatch it? I know Homekit know only open command but not unlatch...

I tried it, but when door is opened, and I try to unlatch door:. nothing happen...

I have knob in external side of door....
