This plugin uses standard HomeKit capabilities as much as possible, however the experience will still differ between the various HomeKit apps. I primarily verify the plugin against two apps:
- Apple Home
- Elgato Eve
Other apps will likely work, but again provide a different experience.
The following table will summarize the behavior to expect between different apps:
| Feature | Apple Home | Elgato Eve |
|---|---|---|
| Soil Temperature | ✅ | ✅ |
| Soil Moisture | ✅ | ✅ |
| Ambient Light Level | ✅ | ✅ |
| Identifying the sensor | ❌ | ✅ |
| Battery level monitoring | ✅ | ✅ |
| Last sensor time/date of update visible | ❌ | ✅ |
| Last battery change time/date visible | ❌ | ✅ |
| Configured light level threshold visible | ❌ | ✅ |
| 24h average light level visible | ❌ | ✅ |
| Low light level contact sensor | ✅ | ✅ |
| Configured humidity threshold visible | ❌ | ✅ |
| 24h average humidity visible | ❌ | ✅ |
| Low humidity level contact sensor | ✅ | ✅ |
A ✅ checkmark indicates the feature is available and supported. A ❌ indicates that the feature is unavailable.
