Detailed Issue Description

After adding the washer and dryer to the HA dashboard, they display correctly. However, when I connect the sensors to Homekit via the Homekit bridge, they do not display correctly in the Home app.Currently, I have simulated two sensors for the washing machine as a binary_sensor and a temperature sensor, but displaying time with a temperature sensor doesn't feel user-friendly. The configuration is as follows:

input_select:
  washing_machine_status:
    name: 洗衣机状态
    options:
      - "空闲"
      - "洗涤"
      - "漂洗"
      - "甩干"
    initial: "空闲"

automation:
  - alias: 更新洗衣机状态
    trigger:
      - platform: state
        entity_id: sensor.188016xxx26566_progress
    action:
      - service: input_select.select_option
        target:
          entity_id: input_select.washing_machine_status
        data:
          option: >
            {% set step = states('sensor.188016xxx826566_progress') %}
            {% if step == 'Idle' %}
              空闲
            {% elif step == 'Wash' %}
              洗涤
            {% elif step == 'Rinse' %}
              漂洗
            {% elif step == 'Spin' %}
              甩干
            {% else %}
              未知
            {% endif %}

sensor:
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      washing_machine_remaining_time_as_temperature:
        friendly_name: "洗衣机剩余时间"
        unit_of_measurement: "°C"
        value_template: >
          {% set time_remaining = states('sensor.18801648xxx6566_time_remaining') %}
          {% if time_remaining in ['未知', 'unavailable', '', 'unknown'] %}
            0
          {% else %}
            {{ time_remaining | int }}
          {% endif %}

binary_sensor:
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      washing_machine_idle:
        friendly_name: "空闲"
        value_template: "{{ is_state('input_select.washing_machine_status', '空闲') }}"

      washing_machine_wash:
        friendly_name: "洗涤"
        value_template: "{{ is_state('input_select.washing_machine_status', '洗涤') }}"

      washing_machine_rinse:
        friendly_name: "漂洗"
        value_template: "{{ is_state('input_select.washing_machine_status', '漂洗') }}"

      washing_machine_spin:
        friendly_name: "甩干"
        value_template: "{{ is_state('input_select.washing_machine_status', '甩干') }}"

Is there any way to make the sensors display correctly in Homekit?

你是说，这个集成在HA这边没什么问题对吧？那就应该算是 HomeKit 那边的问题？HomeKit 本身就没支持这些功能，那自然也是没什么办法的了。 小小的个人建议：别啥都往HomeKit那边接= = 然后 对于你目前的方案，我只能喊666，我觉得已经很强了。这类需求建议去论坛聊聊，看看别人有没有什么其他做法。

You mean, there is no problem with this integration on the HA side, right? So this should be considered a HomeKit problem? HomeKit itself does not support these functions, so there is nothing you can do. A small personal suggestion: don’t connect everything to HomeKit = = Then for your current plan, I can only shout 666, I think it is already very strong. For this kind of needs, it is recommended to go to the forum to chat and see if others have any other methods.

是的,接入ha没什么问题,主要其他的家电全都已经接入到homekit了,就差一个洗衣机和烘干机了,那我去论坛里问问

Yes, there is no problem with connecting to ha. The main thing is that all other home appliances have been connected to HomeKit. The only thing missing is a washing machine and dryer. Then I will ask on the forum.

OK，那这边就先关闭issue了，有需要可以随时再开。
