A thermostat device in HomeKit requires a measure_temperature capability, which your device doesn't have 🙁

Ah that makes sense. I was already wondering why it wasn’t supported in homeykit before.

It might be possible to create a virtual thermostat using the Device Capabilities app that "follows" your radiator valve and has an additional measure_temperature capability (based on a temperature sensor in the same room), and expose that virtual thermostat to HomeKit.

However, I haven't used this app extensively myself so I can't help with setting this up, but its developer and other users of the app are quite active on the Homey forum.

I'll close this issue for now 😅

Yes creating a virtual thermostat and making some flows to update to and from it works very well! Good workaround!
