From aa8d60c746a1d9049843d0757081b58e00a1c395 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Deez73 <46578629+Deez73@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Sat, 2 Jan 2021 09:16:19 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Update velux.markdown (#16051) * Update velux.markdown Added description of how to connect the new Velux Active gateway to Home Assistant. It doesn't have it's own API, but is working perfectly through the HomeKit Controller integration. I know many people have asked about this and I thought it would be good to include the information in the Velux integration documentation. Maybe this information should be marked with the "note" tag? * Update source/_integrations/velux.markdown Absolutely!
