Many HomeKit-supported brand devices have poor compatibility with Home Assistant, or they may not even support Home Assistant integration or HACS integration, creating significant obstacles for users during the setup process. Brands such as Meross, Aqara, and Lifx are examples of this. Please follow the steps outlined below to add these devices.
1) Use iPhone - Apple Home App to pair device
2) After successfully pairing, device should connect home Wi-Fi network
3) Remove device in iPhone - Apple Home App
Go to Device page
Click bottom right "settings"
Scroll down to the very bottom and click "Remove Accessory"
4) Add device in Home Assistant, Go to Settings - ADD INTGRATION - Homekit Device
5) The HomeKit integration will automatically detect the device you just paired with the Apple Home app and add it to Home Assistant.
6) If you still want to control your devices using the Apple Home app, you can re-add them via the HomeKit Bridge. Please refer to the following instructions. https://kb.linknlink.com/isg/home-assistant/homekit
