    },

      "service": "SmokeSensor",

      "TargetHorizontalTiltAngle": { "minValue": 0, "minStep": 5 }

}

To add an optional Characteristic define the Characteristic with "default" for the default values. However, the default values can be changed:

{ "minValue": 0, "maxValue": 100, "minStep": 10 }

HomeKitTypes.js describes all the predifined Services and Characteristcs.

To define Multifunctions Sensors like Fibaro FGMS-001 with different services add a suffix to the accessory name separated by ".":

{
  "accessories": [
    {
      "name": "multi_living.temp",
      "service": "TemperatureSensor"
    },
    {
      "name": "multi_living.light",
      "service": "LightSensor",
      "CurrentAmbientLightLevel": { "minValue": 0, "minStep": 1 }
    },
    {
      "name": "multi_living.motion",
      "service": "MotionSensor"
    },
    {
      "name": "multi_living.battery",
      "service": "BatteryService"
    }
  ]
}

puntView

Change the port number in config-punt.json if neccessary.
