Project started as a way to include the Aqara FP2-sensor via Homekit into Homey.

App is now more generic, many services and capabilities are supported. If you encounter problems, please PM me a short note and a copy of the log where you add the device.

Generic procedure to add a device.

1. Add your Homekit capable device to the app that came with the device and configure it.

2. If added with iOS device, remove the device from the iOS Home app, a device only can have one controller.

3. Most of the time the device can be discovered and added now, using the PIN.  
Additional services are made available over time, as its capabilities. But in some cases it can take multiple minutes that the homekit service is advertised on the network.  
As a start the Apple defined services and capabilities. When available some other vendor specific might be added as well.

4. When entering the PIN and you have selected OK, please wait patiently until the device has been added. DO NOT click OK twice impatiently 😉

WHEN adding EVE Thread devices reset the device and do not put it into pairing mode, the device will not be found if you do. For Thread devices, remove devices does not work, so if you want to remove it from homey, delete it and after that reset the device network settings. (usually pressing some button for 10s).
