How to install

[DennisH1978]

Hi there, I am just new with HA so please dont be so hard. I installed per HACS the components, but in the device options there is nothing to chosse for on/off, volume, notification etc. I see that i can be copied in another configuration. But where is this? what exactly is to do? I have no clue, how to fix that. Can someone help me? That would bei great, thanks.

Greetings Dennis

@DennisH1978 , I would like to help, but you're sharing to little information.

Are you sure you're using this custom_component ? Aren't you using the "standard" enigma2 integration ?

If you installed via hacs, you then need to access HomeAssistant and create the configuration file, where you specify the IP address, user and password.

Have you done that ?

Follow the instructions from the README

Hello. This is what I downloaded into HACS. "Enigma2 + OpenWebIF integration - media_player and notify platforms". And I have already installed “Enigma2 (OpenWebif)”. It sounds to me in the README as if I first have to carry out the original integration of "Enigma2 (OpenWebif)" and then install the "Custom Components" via HACS. Unfortunately I don't understand where the custom components have to be inserted.

Can you please tell me where exactly I have to write the configuration?

Open a SSH connection to the host you are running homeassistant. Locate/create your configuration.yaml file for homeassitant.

Add the configuration as follow (update your host, port,username and password with your enigma2 settings. If you don't know how to do it, I advise you to try first to use the enigma2 integration that comes by default with HomeAssistant.

enigma: 
  devices:
    - host: 192.168.1.20
      port: 80
      name: Gigablue
      timeout: 20
      username: root
      password: your_password
      picon: picon

notify:
  - platform: enigma
    host: 192.168.1.20
    port: 80
    username: root
    password: your_password
    name: gigablue

thanks a lot. Okay, I have now entered this into the configuration.yaml with all the required data. The standard enigma2 is running so far, but only has 2 entities. I have now restarted HA. What do I have to do now? Does standard enigma2 work with the custom components or do I have to install or uninstall something else?

[DennisH1978]

Basically I only need the function on/off. how do I realize this?

[cinzas]

Only when you add the devices to home assistant. You could do that using my component on the existent one.

IF you don't know how to add devices using configuration.yaml, I suggest you to read this - https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/enigma2/

Thank you. But I think we're talking past each other. standard enigma2 is already installed via the integration. Now I have entered the custom components in the configuration.yaml. But nothing has changed anywhere. I still only have my two entities. what is the exact way to get the entities for on/off etc.? sorry for the many questions, but unfortunately I don't fully understand yet.
