Device Accessory
Homebridge deCONZ exposes an accessory for each (to be) supported Zigbee or virtual device on a deCONZ gateway.
Currently, no device types are yet supported. All accessories carry a Stateless Programmable Switch service, so they can be monitored from Apple's Home app, and a custom Device Settings service to configure the device at run-time.
| Service | Description |
|---|---|
| Stateless Programmable Switch | Button with Single Press and Long Press actions. |
| Device Settings* | A service to configure the device. |
*) Note that Apple's Home app does not support custom services.
The Stateless Programmable Switch service carries the following HomeKit characteristic:
| Characteristic | RW | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Programmable Switch Event | w | Fires a Single Press on receiving a web socket notification, a Long Press when the gateway had been polled. |
The custom Device Settings service will gain additional characteristics to change how to expose the device, as devices will be supported. A lights device could be exposed as Lightbulb, Outlet, Valve, or Fan. Currently Device Settings carries the following HomeKit characteristics:
| Characteristic | RW | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Expose* | rw+ | Set to Off to blacklist the device, delete the associated accessory, and add a Device Settings service to the gateway accessory. |
| Log Level* | rw+ | Sets the log level for this device. |
| Resource* | r | The REST API resource(s) for the device. |
*) Note that Apple's Home app does not support custom characteristics.
+) Note that only the owner of the HomeKit home can write this characteristic.
