HomeKit (via Homebridge) Support Is Back

[NotSwissPete]

Title says it all. Someone has kindly written a plugin. See here.

Nothing to do with me, but very nice if you use this kind of thing. There is an issue with initial setup, but there's a simple workaround (paste in the example config to your own config to make setup realise it is complete after the first Homebridge restart).

@Hirschaj you probably want this too. (It's not mine)

Thanks for tagging me! I’ve missed this capability since it stopped working years ago. I’m definitely going to install it later today.

For anyone wondering, this is working great for me so far. Here's my main use case... If the SoC in the Taycan gets below 25%, I have some light switches in the house that change their LED color and pattern so there is a visual indicator to plug the car in. It helps me and my wife remember to plug the car in before we turn in for the night.

Nice I had our Teslas integrated into HomeKit via Homebridge so will try this later.
