Expose sensor "text" to HomeKit

1

Hi there,
I’m using Unifi Integration and track mobile device. I created a template sensor for “where is the specific person?”, like following template.

  - platform: template
    sensors:
      kayhan_nerede:
        friendly_name: Kayhan Nerede
        value_template: >-
            {%- if states.device_tracker.kayhans_iphone.attributes.ap_mac == "xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" -%}
            BİRİNCİ KAT
            {% elif states.device_tracker.kayhans_iphone.attributes.ap_mac == "xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" -%}
            BİRİNCİ KAT
            {% elif states.device_tracker.kayhans_iphone.attributes.ap_mac == "xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" -%}
            BİRİNCİ KAT
            {% elif states.device_tracker.kayhans_iphone.attributes.ap_mac == "xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" -%}
            ZEMİN KAT
            {% elif states.device_tracker.kayhans_iphone.attributes.ap_mac == "xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" -%}
            ZEMİN KAT
            {% elif states.device_tracker.kayhans_iphone.attributes.ap_mac == "xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" -%}
            KESİMHANE
            {% elif states.device_tracker.kayhans_iphone.attributes.ap_mac == "xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" -%}
            DİKİMHANE
            {% elif states.device_tracker.kayhans_iphone.attributes.ap_mac == "xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" -%}
            MODELHANE
            {% elif states.device_tracker.kayhans_iphone.attributes.ap_mac == "xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" -%}
            BODRUM
            {% elif states.device_tracker.kayhans_iphone.attributes.ap_mac == "xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" -%}
            PLANLAMA
            {% elif states.device_tracker.kayhans_iphone.attributes.ap_mac == "xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" -%}
            AVRUPA DEPO
            {% elif states.device_tracker.kayhans_iphone.attributes.ap_mac == "xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" -%}
            AVRUPA DEPO
            {% elif states.device_tracker.kayhans_iphone.attributes.ap_mac == "xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" -%}
            YEMEKHANE
            {%- else -%}
            OFİSTE DEĞİL
            {%- endif -%}'

Is it possible to expose this sensor attribute to HomeKit?

No, only the sensor types listed here are accepted by the Homekit API: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/homekit/#supported-components
