@knalli Would it be possible to configure a switch as a programmable switch in HomeKit so it is possible in the Home app to assign actions on a button press? Similar to how the homebridge-hue plugin supports Hue switches?
In this way a KiKo switch could be used to also trigger non KiKo homekit devices to be controlled.

Can you explain this a little more? What does would mean for this this plugin?

I guess the plugin controls how the switch is advertised in HomeKit. The hue homebridge plugin presents switches in a way that they have programmable events. The hue switches have four buttons on them. For each you can specify actions when pressed. See attached screenshots. I have been using that to use a hue switch to turn on a KiKa lamp.
For another room I want to do the opposite. So when I push the Kika wall switch that it also triggers homekit to switch on an additional HomeKit lamp.

Hope this helps, let me know if I need to explain it better.
