Is there any way to include Homekit only items in HE

Ok all, hate to spoil the party late but technically there is a way.....

Take a look here

Homekit Device Detection/Control

It is a very interesting implementation. It works based on the homekit-python library this library can create it's own HomeKit Controller instance, think of it as another iPad or Apple TV not linked to your iCloud account. You can then discover any IP based device on your network that has HomeKit support and link it to that controller created by that library. You don't control it through your phone directly. You actually have to link each device twice: To your phone and to your controller …

This is not a simple task and would require a lot of work. I don’t have any plans to work on this at the moment as I don’t have the cycles available right now but maybe in the future....
