Valve Domain In HomeKit

[jvm (James Mahon)]

Now that HomeAssistant supports a Valve domain, would it be possible to have valve types added to the HomeKit integration UI so they can be directly added (rather than manually add manually through configuration.yaml as a switch and changing its type)?

Don’t forget to vote for your own feature request @jvm!

There is already some support for valves already:

Add (water) Valves

Home assistant doesn’t support valves (water valves) they just show up as switches. HomeKit does support valves, it would be great if my water zwave water valve would show up as a valve not a switch

They both should be closed, maybe, probably…

Thank you! That worked and I was able to add as a valve.

So now my request is a bit modified - it would be to have this done via UI. But for now, I have it working.

Hi,

Can you paste your config here? I’m still learning HA and I canton make it work. Having an example would help me.

Thanks

Your “valve” first needs to be a switch entity in Home Assistant.

Then you can add something like the following to your configuration.yaml:

homekit:
  - name: "HASS Bridge - YAML" 
    port: 21063
    filter:
      include_entities:
        - switch.whole_house_hot_water_plug
    entity_config:
      switch.whole_house_hot_water_plug:
        type: shower
