HomeKit/Homebridge Aeotec Recessed Door Sensor 7 Integration

Hi Community,

I was successfully able to pair an Aeotec Recessed Door Sensor 7 to my Hubitat and expose it to Homebridge using the Maker API app. The accessory in Homebridge looks perfectly integrated and the Open/Closed state is reported accurately and swiftly.
Please note that I am also using the Hubitat Maker API app to expose my Schlage BE468/BE469 Lock.

I previously installed the Homebridge Hubitat Makerapi plugin on Homebridge to expose my Schlage BE468/BE469 Lock to HomeKit, and it works fine—there is a slight delay with double iOS notifications but works as expected.

I expected the Aeotec Recessed Door Sensor 7 to just show up in HomeKit due to the Habitat Hub -> Hubitat Maker API -> Homebridge -> Homebridge Hubitat Makerapi plugin integration. Unfortunately it is not showing up in HomeKit.

I am not sure how I can tackle this differently. Any pointers would be very helpful!

Did you go into the Hubitat Maker API and add the Door Sensor in the select devices section?

Yes, I added Door Sensor in the select devices section.

I just figured it out. It was a configuration (shown above) issue in the Homebridge Hubitat Makerapi plugin

I changed

"hsm": false,

to

"hsm": true,

and restarted Homebridge and it worked out.

Thanks everyone who took a look at the issue!
