HomeKit Integration

This page provides everything you need to set up and control your Doorman device with Apple HomeKit.

Limitations

The HomeKit integration currently supports only the most essential and basic functions of your Doorman. Advanced settings and less commonly used features are not available through HomeKit and must still be managed via Home Assistant or the web interface.

Supported Entites

  • Event: Entrance Doorbell
  • Event: Second Entrance Doorbell
  • Event: Apartment Doorbell
  • Lock: Entrance Door
  • Lock: Second Entrance Door
  • Switch: Ring To Open
  • Light: Hallway Light

Event Mapping

HomeKit supports only three event types, so we are limited to the following mappings:

  • singleSINGLE_PRESS
  • doubleSINGLE_PRESS
  • longLONG_PRESS

All other events will default to LONG_PRESS due to limitations:

  • tripleLONG_PRESS
  • quadrupleLONG_PRESS

Accessory Bundles

To improve usability and optimize internal memory usage, we offer the following predefined accessory bundles:

  • Entrance DoorbellEntrance Door, Hallway Light
  • Second Entrance DoorbellSecond Entrance Door, Hallway Light
