Which components the Pairot supports depends on whether you want to use HomeKit or Alexa. For Alexa, switching actuators, dimmers, blind actuators and thermostats are currently supported.

In HomeKit you can use presence and motion sensors, just like switches, via an automation to control scenes or other components. At the request of Apple, a maximum of 99 components can be linked to one Pairot and the Pairot can only be used in homes.
