When setting up HomeKit Controller to interact with heating system bridge (Tado) I can get it to report all TRVs and Bridge.
One thing I can’t find how to achieve is how to put characteristic “indetify” to TRVs. When I was playing with homekit module for Python to interact with Bridge I could see among characteristics “identify” one.
This one was really useful to identify which TRV is which. Setting it to “1” makes TRV flash “Hi”, so it is really easy to say that’s the one.
However I can’t find equivalent functionality at Home Assistant/HomeKit Controller level.
This leads me to two questions:
- how do I achieve that identification message being sent from Home Assistant level?
- how do I get lower level access to list all characteristics (in terms of HomeKit API) and how do I explicitly send chosen one?
