Generally-happy user here, just wanting to add my +1 to some parameter (likely would need to be prior to commissioning) to disable lightbar-to-homekit passthrough.
I’m actually torn on this because I like the idea of using it for status notification around the house, but having it interfere with Siri commands is a real pain point. Haven’t read the matter spec to see if a “status indicator” is a thing (and then, obviously, would have to wait for homekit adoption), but that sounds like it’d be optimal.
I had hoped to add the LED bars to a separate room so they wouldn’t pick up siri commands as easily, but it appears (at least under the most recent iOS as of 23-JUL-2025) that if you move any part of a multi-endpoint device to another room, all other endpoints follow it. I’m thinking I might be able to dance around this issue via Home Assistant, so I’ll probably be giving that a shot.
Again, love the hardware, happy with the purchase, excellent product - just adding my $0.02 to a request for a stopgap solution of “don’t pass LED bar onto homekit.”
