Dht11 ESPHOME humidity does not show in HomeKit

ESPHome
1

The following is my ESPHOME config for an ESP8266 NodeMCU. The humidity sensor does not show in HomeKit with ESPHOME. It did show back when I configured these with MQTT as demonstrated in the BRUHAutomation video from way back, because I had the “device_class: humidity” entry. Where would that go in this config?

You could set it in Configuration > Customizations > choose entity > Pick an attribute to override > device_class

Or are you certain it was in your esphome config?

I have the same problem. My senors show the correct device class in HA but show up in homekit as unavailable. this is affecting both Temperature and Humidity sensors.
