I thought the #HomeAssistant HomeKit Bridge Integration was meant to import all your devices from HomeKit?

I have it setup as below and it is not seeing my DIRIGERA attached light bulbs. Should they be seen?

HomeKit Bridge is used to get device from Home Assistant into HomeKit. There’s another integration, HomeKit Devices, that will do what you’re wanting.

@peedub That makes more sense, but I have that too.

Ok, sure. But that’s not what you’ve shown in your post. What you’ve shown definitely won’t do what you want.

@homeassistant@fosstodon.org @homeassistant@lemmy.world @homeassistant@a.gup.pe It is been pointed out to me, it is not HomeKit Bridge I need, it is HomeKit Devices. I also had that installed and it doesn’t see them either.

@bazcurtis @homeassistant@fosstodon.org @homeassistant@lemmy.world @homeassistant@a.gup.pe You can only pair homekit device to one system (so either your home on Apple device or Home Assistant). You can pair it to HA, then re-expose to Apple Home via HomeKit bridge in HA.

@homeassistant@lemmy.world @bazcurtis @homeassistant@fosstodon.org @homeassistant@a.gup.pe try changing “exclude” to “include.” Worked for me.
