Feature request: Dimmers can appear as Fans, Blinds can appear as Windows

[user728]

The new app is great (but also struggle with the 'No Response' problem). It's actually the main reason I purchased - as a z-wave to HomeKit bridge.

However, I have z-wave 0-10V dimmers (Qubino) that control fans - it would be awesome if the app could allow them to appear as fans in HomeKit (not lights which is currently what happens).

Device functions are segregated between the Devices and Settings menu functions in seemly odd ways sometimes. You add devic…

For "no response", try turning on Restart hourly toggle in the Advanced section of the Homekit integration (beta) app.

I'll check the window accessory type (as opposed to window covering) support. They look the same, just need to figure a way to switch between the two.

The window is considered to be a security device (window covering is not). Exposing a window shade as a window will break a certification requirement.

Dang, but that makes sense...
