Eve Aqua Water valve

For anyone finding this thread, head over here to track progress on support of Bluetooth based HomeKit accessories.

TL;DR - homekit_controller doesn’t support BLE accessories as of December 16th 2019. It is planned, but the blocking bluetooth client doesn’t integrate well with home assistant. So the current priority is switching the IP client to asyncio then building an asyncio bluetooth client. But this is a long term effort. In the meantime, an Eve Extend bridge can allow home assistant to see Eve bluetooth accessories via WiFi.

This only helps for the device types listed in the docs, so at the moment Eve Aqua connected to Eve Extend would probably be detected but e.g. might only report on its battery status. It might be easy to add support the Eve Aqua properly via this method, but I can’t offer any solid promises. It looks like on Home Assistant’s side we would just model the Tap as a kind of switch.
