Homekit Enabled Curtain and Blinds

Описание: I thought I'd share a short video of my experiences with Homekit enabled curtain and blind automation.

I've tried Aqara, Tuya and Zemismart/Loratap equipment and use each in different situations.

In my case, all these products are managed via Zigbee2Mqtt with Mosquito MQTT and interfaced to Homekit via Homebridge and the z2M plugin.

Depending on the number of likes I get, I will make a follow up with more detail on how each motor works (or doesn't!) and how I got them all to work in Homekit using Homebridge.

What I didn't mention in the video is that I have some of these grouped in Homekit to open together. In one section you'll see one room where I have eight 'coverings' (a mix of blinds and curtains) all opening together (as part of my Homekit 'Morning' scene).
