More Information

Dynamic platform for Navien appliances through the NaviLink cloud. HomeKit tiles for hot water and space-heating setpoints, power, recirculation, a fault contact, and temperature probes. State arrives over MQTT; the poll is a backstop. There is no other verified NaviLink or Navien plugin.

Settings GUI signs in and lists only the accessories the gateway reports. Bad config disables the platform and leaves cached accessories registered. Nothing is written outside the Homebridge storage path. No analytics.

Confirmed on an NCB-240E. Other families use the same cloud interface.
