@sudoaptgetlife @homeassistant I used the HomeKit integration in HA, which I used to pair the Hive hub using its HomeKit pairing code, which in turn gives me a Bridge device (the Hive hub), and then a device below that that's the Hive room stat.
I also have automations running using the temps from the Hive stat, and others that control the Hive system when other thermometers hit certain thresholds (eg turning on the heating if the pipes in the kitchen or garage are at risk of freezing, using the temperature sensor on Shelly Flood devices).
@ZS @homeassistant Oh cool, I didn't know you could pair devices directly with the Homekit integration, i always assumed you had to connect devices with their respective integrations in HA first for the Homekit integration to see them.
@sudoaptgetlife @homeassistant No, I don't have the Hive integration installed at all, because it's a dumpster fire like the Hive app.
I have all the parts here to make my own system (two ZigBee relays and some ZigBee thermometers), just never got round to actually wiring them in. 🙄
