If the device has class "other" and only the "onoff" capability, HomeKitty has no idea that it's a valve, and cannot present it as such to HomeKit. It can only present it as a switch.

I understant. Is it possible to change the device type or add an option to "show as" in the HomeKitty settings?

robertklep commented 1 year ago

Changing the device class isn't possible (and besides that, Homey doesn't have a "valve" device class), implementing something like "show as" is technically possible, but won't solve your problems.

In HomeKit, a valve has three required characteristics/capabilities: "Active", "InUse" and "ValveType" ("Generic", "Irrigation", "Shower Head" and "Water Faucet").

All of these are not provided by Homey, so that problem should be solved too and would require an elaborate "device builder" in HomeKitty. Not something I'm planning to implement, I'm afraid 🥴
