Add Air Purifier as device type to Homekit Bridge integration

Feature Requests

Air purifiers are a separate device type in the Apple Home.app, yet Home Assistant does not allow exposing these devices as air purifiers using the HomeKit Bridge integration. Instead, they are exposed as fan entities.

It looks like we need to add a type_air_purifiers.py here for this to work:
https://github.com/home-assistant/core/tree/dev/homeassistant/components/homekit

It looks like one person on Github added this exact file to a fork here.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Upvote. It’s really annoying since it works flawlessly in Homebridge, however I am migrating all of my stuff over to Home Assistant and HomeKit Bridge and would like to keep the comfort. Using a Dyson TP09 - if you need help, please let me know.
