I’ve already tried a few things like unplugging the sensor, rebooting both my sensor and Home Assistant, and reinstalling the HomeKit Bridge integration,Homekit device but the sensor still doesn’t appear. Could you please provide some additional troubleshooting tips or suggestions to help me resolve this issue? Thanks!

    Followed your steps and have things mostly working but tap_action: toggle is only working for the last entry. For example, I have a room with four entities (Lights 1-4) and can see four separate icons on the map. The last entry in the yaml is Light 4 and that works. Lights 1-3, however, do not work and when hovering show a 'more info' popup for Light 4. Any ideas?

    Great stuff! Only took me a couple of hours to set up dashboard for an outbuilding with a few lights. What would also be pretty cool would be to show motion somehow based on motion sensors being triggered. I suppose it could work exactly like lights, just have to figure out what use to indicate motion being sensed... I'll fool around with it and see if using motion sensor entities would also work. Thanks for this!

Bought a new one in burnt orange before people twig and the prices shoot up! Then with the money saved, buy a plug which no longer comes with the I pad 😞. I have an I phone 13 USBC plug so can use that.

    Should people buy it? If you want it-- Sure. The mini still is the most mobile and hand-friendly tablet out there in my opinion. The 8GB RAM, 128GB storage and binned A17 Pro will get you far. Should mini 6 users upgrade to it? for general casual users and avid note takers-- No Only beneficiaries for the update are people into iPad gaming and heavy iPad multi-taskers. My biggest gripe with the update-- Apple locking the compatibility to Apple Pencil Pro.

I don’t have anything this fancy, but my 4 year old daughter has a lamp and sconce with hue bulbs, a VOCOlinc humidifier (which has terrible color) and a Hue light strip that lines the back of a teepee/tent type thing in her room. She loves the different colors and I have a flic button on her bed post in case she needs to get up in the night, it’ll turn her tent hue strip to 10% on a warm setting. Thanks for the content

Instead of removing all my accessories currently managed in Homekit, insert them in Home Assistant and reinsert them in HomeKit, do you think it's possible to use "HomeKit Device" plugin which "allows you to connect accessories with the Works with HomeKit logo to Home Assistant" ?
