Control Openhab Groups with HomeKit

thiloreiche · November 12, 2023, 2:35pm

Hey,

I have IKEA lamps and control them via MQTT. Now, for example, I have 3 lamps in the ceiling light in the hallway. I defined this as a group in Openhab to control on/off, brightness and color temperature at the same time. Now I would like to control this in Homekit too, but I just can’t get it to work. In the best case scenario, I have a “hallway ceiling light” device and can control on/off, brightness and color temperature as we know it from HomeKit.

I send my current code once - with the second one the device no longer even appears under HomeKit.

Maybe, you have an idea.

Thank you very much and kind regards
Thilo R.

So I’ve made it this far.

But I can’t change the brightness because Openhab always throws me back an error. I’m afraid this is a bug that I can’t work around.

Do you perhaps have any further ideas?
