Misleading project name (should be mqtt2homekit)

Open fredck opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

The scope of this project is to expose MQTT devices into HomeKit. Therefore, I believe the correct name for it should be mqtt2homekit.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.


I reached this repository because I was searching for the opposite: to expose HomeKit devices into MQTT (hence the name confusion).

The problem I'm trying to solve is controlling some HomeKit devices which cannot be added to Home Assistant (e.g. Thread enabled devices like Nanoleak and Eve stuff) with Home Assistant through MQTT.

Hi @fredck I'm in the exact same situation. Let me know if you find a solution, and I'll do the same.

Agreed on the poor naming. I am also looking for a way to programmatically control native HomeKit devices and thought this was the solution. The search continues.
