Hi all,
New user here to home assistant so gradually learning the ropes but I have come across an issue that I cannot seem to find a resolution to.
Currently, I am using Homebridge with the tado plugin to expose this to HomeKit. As standard, Tado/Apple does not support hot water control via HomeKit. I got this working in Homebridge, where the hot water is shown as a switch to either boost or turn off the hot water. This works as I intended.
I have slowly started to adopt home assistant. I have connected my tado to home assistant and all functions work perfectly via the loveui, including boosting the hot water.
However, when I select the HomeKit integration, it imports the Tado into HomeKit. The thermostat shows as a thermostat, so no problems there. However, the hot water also shows as a thermostat and this does not work to boost the hot water on or off.
I would like the hot water boost to show as a simple on/off switch in HomeKit and not as a thermostat. I have identified the entity which controls this as ‘water_heater.hot_water’. I have selected this under the HomeKit integration as ‘Hot Water (water_heater.hot_water)’ but HomeKit keeps showing this as a thermostat.
Any hep would be appreciated to show the hot water as a simple on/off switch in HomeKit rather than a thermostat
Thanks for reading
