Hello. Please bear with me, I’m brand new to HA. I’m trying to be mindful and search for answers before reasking questions, yet I’m sure these have all been asked before.
I have installed my Home Assistant Yellow, HA app, and my HA has been identified; that’s as far as I have gotten.
Which is the best way to integrate my existing HomeKit into Home Assistant. There are multiple options, but looking for the easiest and most stright-forward.
Once I integrate HomeKit or and individual light/sensor into HA, will it still respond to HomeKit. Specifically HA has identified my Hue Hub and has asked me to activate hub so HA can configure. If I do this, will I loose capatibility to control the Hue devices through HomeKit?
Your questions are not straightforward; you should play around with it, & learn how it works.
I think most people end up running everything through Home Assistant, E.g. uninstall the Hue Bridge from Homekit & just have Homekit as an extension of Home Assistant.
That way entities are not going to be showing up twice & you have a central location to manage everything.
