Set HomeKit accessory to No Response if Home Assistant accessory is Unavailable

Configuration
1

Hi there,

I’ve setup an accessory in HA with MQTT, for this accessory I’ve added the availability_topic for LWT. So when I disconnect the accessory from the power the LWT sets the device in HA as Unavailable (as it should). But because I’m also using the HomeKit plugin, so I would like HA to also set the Accessory availability in HomeKit.

Is this possible? Do I need to add something to my config to enable it?

My config:

switch:
  - platform: mqtt
    name: Iron
    icon: "mdi:power-plug"
    state_topic: "stat/IronSwitch/POWER"
    command_topic: "cmnd/IronSwitch/POWER"
    availability_topic: "tele/IronSwitch/LWT"
    qos: 1
    payload_on: "ON"
    payload_off: "OFF"
    payload_available: "Online"
    payload_not_available: "Offline"
    retain: false

homekit:
include_domains:
  - switch

  entity_config:
switch.Iron:
  type: switch
2

Unfortunately it doesn’t. I haven’t gotten around to implement it, yet.
It would require a bigger change to HAP-python for it to work.
