…penhab#13879) * [homekit] allow configuring secondary services as members of a group Required introduction of AccessoryGroup to represent the base AccessoryInformationService for ease of configuring multiple of the same service. This is also "breaking" in that someone who previously had HomeKit accessories nested directly inside of a group that was itself a HomeKit accessory will now have those items grouped within the Home app. * [homekit] combine multiple readme sections on complex accessories Signed-off-by: Cody Cutrer <[email protected]>

+### Complex Multiple Service Accessories
+
+Alternatively, you may want to have a choice of controlling the items individually, OR as a group, from HomeKit.
+The following examples defines a single HomeKit accessory _with multiple services_ that the Home app will allow you to control together, or drill down and control individually.
+Note that `AccessoryGroup` doesn't expose any services itself, but allows you to group other services together underneath it.
+Also note that when nesting accessories, you cannot use the shorthand of naming only a characteristic, and not its accessory type, since it would be ambiguous if that item belongs to a secondary service, or to the primary service it's nested under.
+
+```java
+Group:Switch:OR(ON,OFF) gLight "Light Group" {homekit="AccessoryGroup"}
+Switch light1 "Light 1" (gLight) {homekit="Lighting"}
+Switch light2 "Light 2" (gLight) {homekit="Lighting"}
+```
+
+![Group of Lights](doc/group_of_lights.png)
 
-- "Light 1" and "Light 2" as independent lights
-- "Light Group" that controls "Light 1" and "Light 2" as group
+You can also group additional accessories directly under another accessory.
+In this example, HomeKit will show three separate light controls.
+As this is somewhat confusing that Home will allow controlling all members as a group, and you also have the group as a distinct switch inside the HomeKit accessory, this is not a recommended configuration.
 
 ```xtend
 Group:Switch:OR(ON,OFF) gLight "Light Group" {homekit="Lighting"}
-Switch light1 "Light 1" (gLight) {homekit="Lighting.OnState"}
-Switch light2 "Light 2" (gLight) {homekit="Lighting.OnState"}

+Switch light2 "Light 2" (gLight) {homekit="Lighting"}
+```
+
+![Light Group With Additional Lights](doc/group_of_lights_group_plus_lights.png)
+
+You can also mix and match accessories:
+
+```java
+Group gFan {homekit="Fan"}
+Switch fan1 "Fan" (gFan) {homekit="Fan.Active"}
+Switch fan1_light "Fan Light" (gFan) {homekit="Lighting"}
+```
+
+![Fan With Light](doc/fan_with_light.png)
+
+Another way to build complex accessories is to associate multiple accessory types with the root group, and then define all of the individual characteristics on group members.
+When using this style, you cannot have multiple instance of the same accessory type.
+
+```java
+Group           FanWithLight        "Fan with Light"                           {homekit = "Fan,Lighting"}

+Number          FanRotationSpeed    "Fan Rotation Speed"    (FanWithLight)     {homekit = "Fan.RotationSpeed"}
+Switch          Light               "Light"                 (FanWithLight)     {homekit = "Lighting.OnState"}

+![ui_fan_with_light_group_config.png](doc/ui_fan_with_light_group_config.png)
+
+Finally, you can link one openHAB item to one or more HomeKit accessories, as well:
+
+```java
+Switch occupancy_and_motion_sensor       "Occupancy and Motion Sensor Tag"  {homekit="OccupancySensor,MotionSensor"}
+```
+
+You can even form complex sensors this way.
+Just be sure that you fully specify additional characteristics, so that the addon knows which root service to add it to.
+
+```java
+Group eBunkAirthings "Bunk Room Airthings Wave Plus" { homekit="AirQualitySensor,TemperatureSensor,HumiditySensor" }
+
+String Bunk_AirQuality "Bunk Room Air Quality" (eBunkAirthings) { homekit="AirQualitySensor.AirQuality" }

+
+![ui_sensor_with_battery.png](doc/ui_sensor_with_battery.png)
+
+The Home app uses the first accessory in a group as the icon for the group as a whole.
+E.g. an accessory defined as `homekit="Fan,Light"` will be shown as a fan and an accessory defined as `homekit="Light,Fan"` will be shown as a light in the Home app.
+You can also override the primary service by using adding `primary=<type>` to the HomeKit metadata configuration:
+
+```java
+Group           FanWithLight        "Fan with Light"                           {homekit = "Light,Fan" [primary = "Fan"]}

+Unusual combinations are also possible, e.g. you can combine temperature sensor with blinds and light.
+
+It will be represented by the Home app as follows:

+
+Note that for sensors that aren't interactive, the Home app will show the constituent pieces in the room and home summaries, and you'll only be able to see the combined accessory when viewing the accessories associated with a particular bridge in the home settings:

-### Complex accessory
-
-Multiple HomeKit accessories can be combined to one accessory in order to group several functions provided by one or multiple physical devices. 
-
-For example, ceiling fans often include lighting functionality. Such fans can be modeled as:
-
-- two separate HomeKit accessories - fan **and** light. 
-
-  iOS home app would show them as **two tiles** that can be controlled directly from home screen.
-
-  ![ios_fan_and_light_home_screen.png](doc/ios_fan_and_light_home_screen.png)
-
-- one complex accessory - fan **with** light. 
-
-  iOS home app would show them as **one tile** that opens view with two controls

-
-  ![ios_fan_with_light_details.png](doc/ios_fan_with_light_details.png)
-
-The provided functionality is in both cases identical.
-
-In order to combine multiple accessories to one HomeKit accessory you need:
-
-- add corresponding openHAB items to one openHAB group
-- configure HomeKit metadata of both HomeKit accessories at that group. 
-
-e.g. configuration for a fan with light would look as follows
-
-```xtend
-Group           FanWithLight        "Fan with Light"                           {homekit = "Fan,Lighting"}
-Switch          FanActiveStatus     "Fan Active Status"     (FanWithLight)     {homekit = "Fan.ActiveStatus"}
-Number          FanRotationSpeed    "Fan Rotation Speed"    (FanWithLight)     {homekit = "Fan.RotationSpeed"}
-Switch          Light               "Light"                 (FanWithLight)     {homekit = "Lighting.OnState"}

-![ui_fan_with_light_group_config.png](doc/ui_fan_with_light_group_config.png)
-
-
-iOS home app uses by default the type of the first accessory on the list for the tile on home screen. 
-e.g. an accessory defined as homekit = "Fan,Light" will be shown as a fan and an accessory defined as homekit = "Light,Fan" as a light in iOS home app.  
-
-if you want to change the tile you can either change the order of types in homekit metadata or add "primary=<type>" to HomeKit metadata configuration. 
-e.g. following configuration will force "fan" to be used as tile
-
-```xtend
-Group           FanWithLight        "Fan with Light"                           {homekit = "Light,Fan" [primary = "Fan"]}
-```
-
-![ui_fan_with_light_primary.png](doc/ui_fan_with_light_primary.png)
-
-Similarly, you can create a sensor with battery
-
-![ui_sensor_with_battery.png](doc/ui_sensor_with_battery.png)
-
-However, home app does not support changing of tiles for already added accessory. 
-If you want to change the tile after the accessory was added, you need either to rename the group, if you use textual item configuration, or to delete and to create a new group with a different name, if you use UI for configuration.
-
-You can combine more than two accessories as well as accessories linked to different physical devices. 
-You can also do unusually combinations, e.g. you can combine temperature sensor with blinds and light. 
-It will be represented by home app as follows
-
-![ios_complex_accessory_detail_screen.png](doc/ios_complex_accessory_detail_screen.png)
-
-
-#### Limitations
-
-Currently, it is not possible to combine multiple accessories of the same type, e.g. 2 lights. 
-Support for this is planned for the future release of openHAB HomeKit binding.
