Hi everyone,
can you guys help me with setting up the homekit configuration / template in order to have the battery level and charging status being shown in homekit? It is for a lock template device.
This is what I tried:
lock:
- platform: template
name: Car Lock
value_template: "{{ is_state('lock.car_door_lock', 'locked') }}"
lock:
service: lock.lock
target:
entity_id: lock.car_door_lock
unlock:
service: lock.unlock
data:
code: 1234
target:
entity_id: lock.car_door_lock
homekit:
entity_config:
lock.car_lock:
linked_battery_sensor: sensor.car_battery_sensor
There is an integration from HACS but I have to enter a PIN in order to unlock the car. So I created a template lock with the PIN being a part of it. In the original lock in homekit, battery level and charging status are being displayed. And I’d like to have that in my template lock as well?
Or a different approach: Can I modify a lock (coming from the HACS integration) to always send a data payload with the PIN? Then I would not need a template lock.
Appreciate any hint!
