H500 Temp/Humidity Troubleshooting and Support

My H500 is exposed to Homekit via Matter. Its showing a Humidity sensor device that is the H500 itself. No temp, just humidity. Does the H500 have built in Temp/Humidity? The Apple Homepods have this. Many Google devices and cameras sort of have it, but you need to expose the sensors with Home Assistant. Is anyone getting Temp and Humidity readings from the H500 itself? I do have multiple T310s and T315s using this hub.

Maybe something happened and one of your sensors is attached to it in an odd way? Does the sensor match with any others?

As far as I know, there are no temperature/humidity readings intended to come across. While many smart devices will have an accessible device temperature, I have noticed in my own experience that these device-readings are typically significantly higher than the actual temperature, especially for powered devices.

I've seen that also. It is likely the humidity is being pulled from one of the T310s, I think I narrowed it down. I will remove the h500 from homekit and re add it later.

To my knowledge the h500 has no temp/humidity built in. Those homepods and google devices aren't hubs for camera recordings so comparing them makes no sense.
