Home Assistant Integration #3

Closed filmgarage closed 3 years ago

filmgarage commented 3 years ago

Any chance that this will once become a home assistant integration?

dib0 commented 3 years ago

Very possibly. @hildensia is working on a better implementation (his python skills are far better than mine) and is thinking about creating a home assistant implementation. Check out pull requests #1 and #2. I haven't had time to dive into them, hopefully I can do that soon

@filmgarage If you look into the PRs (or my fork in the feature/mqtt branch) the refactored version is actually functional with home assistant, since it includes an MQTT client. All alarms and updates are published as MQTT topic and you should be able to use the MQTT integration of home assistant to use those. However, I never tested it in such an integrated way. But it worked with test.mosquitto.org as broker. I will eventually integrate it in home assistant, but that may take a few more months.

Interesting! Home automation is still an expensive hobby and I think it would benefit a lot of people if it becomes affordable. I am convinced that home automation should improve the quality of living and safety. The ELRO smoke detectors would be a very welcome addition to the integrated smart home. I will keep an eye on your work and try to test your MQTT version.

@filmgarage FYI, MQTT is now integrated in mainline, and also somewhat tested.
