Trigger HomeKit device

I just started looking into getting OpenHAB to connect directly to HomeKit compatible devices and found this thread. It looks like the landscape is the same. I’m tired of EcoBee outages (and having to re-auth the API key) and was hoping to control locally with HomeKit.

I haven’t looked into what they’re doing, but it looks like HomeAssistant has this working. I’d be curious to figure out how that works.

Has anyone found a better way to do this than the Logitech workaround mentioned above? It would be nice to support from the standpoint of HomeKit having to have the ability to do local control.
