Installation

Automatic Installation with HACS

It's easy to start with HACS, a community-supported store! Just add the URL of this repository to custom components, and install Integration for Nature Remo from HACS.

Manual Installation

Copy the folder custom_components/nature_remo into <config directory>/custom_components/ on your device. If you do not have access to the <config directory>, you can install the Samba share add-on and access it from SAMBA.

Configuration

After installation, restart Home Assistant and add the integration nature_remo from settings. During the process you will be asked to enter your API access token; you can get one from here.

Upgrade

In addtion to upgrading the package itself, it is required to restart HA. (Migration of outdated configurations is automatically handled now.)

Note

Configuration Changes from Smartphone App

It is recommended that you finish all configurations on your smartphone app before using this integration.

All devices and appliances are detected and configured only once when adding the integration to Home Assistant, so if you changed your configuration from you smartphone app it will not be synchronized. Remove the hub registered by this integration and add the integration again if you wish to reflect the changes.

Light

Lights are registered twice: one light entity and one select & button entity. Light eitities make intuitive sense for controlling; however, it's impossible to cover all functionalities of your light, and the is_on state is unreliable due to the lack of feedback. Use the select & button entity to control your light without modifying the is_on state (thus fixing wrong states), and access extra abilities of your light.

The control of the light entity is implemented as sending onoff button signal, or sending on and off separately if onoff is not present. Please contact me if you find it's not working for your light.
