Anyway to make a ceiling light/fan with a remote like this compatible with HomeKit?

Was looking at smart light/fan switches, but it looks like they aren’t compatible.

Anyone got any ideas on how you make this work with my current HomeKit setup?

A:

If it is an RF remote (radio freq) you could try a Bond bridge. To make bond work with HomeKit you would also need Homebridge running on something like a raspberry pi. I have this setup for three fans and also my gas fireplace. Works reliably for the most part.

The bond bridge is basically a learning remote control system. You train it with the existing remote. https://bondhome.io/product/bond-bridge/
