+The parameter **refresh** is optional (default 0=off) and adjusts in what interval (seconds) changes of the robot state will be pushed to homekit. The minimum refresh time is 60 seconds. You need this only when you set up rules based on the robot state and start him outside of homekit (e.g. with the Neato app).
