Custom mapping

[papasasha42]

Hi, thanks for your awesome project!

Is it possible to customize homekit device's mapping? I.e. use external temperature sensor for thermostat like Remotec 120 or Danfoss LC, or create thermostat from temperature sensor and relay, or make virtual movement sensor from pushbutton etc.

I saw something like this in that project:
https://github.com/hobbyquaker/homekit2mqtt
https://github.com/hobbyquaker/homekit2mqtt#configuration

Probably developing basic UI which grabs list of devices characteristics and allowing custom mapping as default feature (combining charateristics into custom mapped device, changing device type or selecting to hide device in homekit) would make easier supporting new devices in future and make project much more popular and versatile.

Anyway thanks a lot for what is already done. If asked functionality can be done with custom coding, I'd appreciate any help to start.

It's all possible ...

Do you mean already possible or you are going to add this sometime later? If possible could you give some directions, please? I'm newbie coder and just starting to learn homebridge project. Thanks!

I mean it is possible but have no time to implement it. Moreover, my Home Center died.
It requires a redesign of the structure of the plugin, the component you linked is not an home bridge plugin so it allows a more free design.
Try to start with something easier.
