Device not implemented: HmIP-WRC6

[guiuf-nokia]

Hi there!

First of all, thanks a lot for this great plugin. I'm only getting started, but it seems to work very smoothly.

I'm a recent Homematic IP user, and last week I bought a 6-button controller: HmIP-WRC6. When I look into the home bridge logs I see the following warning message:

[HomematicIP] Device not implemented: HmIP-WRC6 - Interruptor de 6 botones via type PUSH_BUTTON_6

It would be great to get this device/controller exposed in HomeKit, to be able to assign controls/automations not only for Homematic IP devices (which I can do from the Homematic IP app) but for any of the other devices I have at home, based on pushing any of the six buttons.

My environment:

Homebridge v1.6.0 on a Raspberry Pi 4 Node.js Version v18.12.1 homebridge-homematicip v1.1.0

Again, thanks a lot for all the work you're putting into this!

I would like to add that homekit would benefit greatly of HmIP-WRC6 implementation.

HmIP App is very limited with its possible actions. Thank you!

Das gleiche gilt für die Innen Sirene auch dort steht Device not implemented. gibt es eine Möglichkeit diese zu implementieren ??

@guiuf-nokia @kos9090 For the WRC6 it used to be impossible, because the keypress is not propagated to the cloud directly. Only when triggering a "cloud"-event, the keypress is send to this event. Maybe eq-3 changed the behaviour but I doubt it. I will check for the next update.

@GrandPa17 I can only implement devices in HomeKit where the device class actually exist in HomeKit. What would a siren be used for in HomeKit? Theoretically I could implement some kind of "light switch", which will turn on the siren when the switch is flipped. But only if eq-3 actually support the siren like this. The siren is indirectly supported by the "Home security system", which actually is what you want. For this it's okay that the "Device not implemented" message appears, because the siren is controlled by HomematicIP instead of HomeKit.

Homematic IP actuators are exposed though, aren’t they? So could it be possible to create an automation in HomeKit for when some Homematic IP actuator is switched with the HmIP-WRC6 to also switch something else? Or maybe put them in a group in HomeKit?

I’m thinking like switching lights from the HmIP-BSM and maybe some philips hue lamps together.

I also appreciate all the work on the plugin and also would love an option to add this six switch. Thank you very much so far! Great work done here!
