Support for HomeKit accessory updates

[rikben]

I was wondering, the sensor accessories work by listening to events published to the Particle Cloud. When changing the state of an actor accessory, everything in Homekit goes fine. However, when the Particle changes the accessory state (in any other way than through Homekit), the state in Homekit isn't updated.

Would it be an option to also let actor accessories listen to events? This way Particle can update the state in Homekit. If I'm mistaken, and this already is a feature, could you please let me know?

Thanks

I am also interested in the proposed functionality. My Particle devices can change State through other means and this currently creates conflicts.

Totally makes sense, I will add this when I get to it.
PR also welcome, if anyone feels like adding that / moving that functionality from the SensorAccessory class to the generic Accessory class.
