How to register / listen to python events

[prpo (Jones)]

Thanks for the fast feedback.

My goal is to control devices with a homekit interface from openHAB. The homekit addon does provide options to control openHAB (and connected items) from homekit. To me this sounds like the opposite way. Also I do not have any equipment from Apple. However, maybe I missed something?

To be more precise: I would like to integrate my skylights (Velux) into openHAB. There is a central gateway (KIX 300) which is homekit compatible. Here is a discussion about integrating it in openHAB with a recommondation:

Connecting Velux Active KIX 300

Found a much better way of how to interact with KIX-300, the answer is HomeKit. It has several advantages over the reverse engineered solution used by velux-cli: easier to setup future proof as it uses a standard protocol to interact with the KIX-300 works locally, no cloud works with windows as well get all values from sensors So this is what I did: install GitHub - jlusiardi/homekit_python: A python implementation to work as both HomeKit controller and accessory. create pairing file run …

You are completely right - the flow needs to be flipped around. Do you have any further information about pushing events to openHAB from a script? If it is possible by small modifications of the python script I’d be happy to try.
