Support for service type Speaker

Hello,

since I now how HomeKit deal with some Service Types, I add this as a feature request and not as a bug. I try to make my AVR receiver usable with Home.app. It is easy to switch on/off using the switch service type:

But when it comes to more complex things I’m facing again the “Non Certified Messsage” in the Home.app. I have started to play with Speaker service type.

and have set up the characteristics according to the HAP specification:

As a result in Home.App I can’t do anything:

Using 3rd party app like EVE, interaction works as expected:

All message has been passed through Node-red from the interaction in the EVE-app Probably the same issues as with doorbell.

Another service type Apple seems not to fully support equipment that could be used as accessory available on the market. See [here].(https://github.com/NRCHKB/node-red-contrib-homekit-bridged/issues/38#issuecomment-472134260)

Support for Speaker has been promised on WWDC2018

@djiwondee remember this? I believe the latest dev branch can now accomplish everything we were trying to do here.
