Free@Home do not surface in automations #67

Closed williamvz closed 3 years ago

Just not sure if this is a bug or if this is (currently) nog supported but none of the F@H items surface when I try to create new automations in HA. Any thoughts?

I'm sorry but I do not understand the question. Can you give some examples? The automations part of HA is one of the parts I am not yet using.

The scenario I was thinking of is to have a F@H device do something if a trigger went off. Ideally, I'd make an Ikea Tradfri sensor work with F@H switch/light.

The image below shows you a scenario where a socket is turned off the moment I start charging my car (just an example). However, none of the F@H items appear either under triggers or under actions. image

Now I see what you mean. The FAH component is not showing up as a device.
Or should the FAH component be visible as integration plaform and the FAH actuators/sensors should be treated as devices? I think the latter sounds much better. But it will probably be not a quick fix, i have to dig through the HA documentation.

This just works. Please deepen your knowledge on Home Assistant inner workings and potential other solutions. See screenshot:

This is a good improvement! But not necessary for this issue. This paves the way (I think) in making it a official component...

Frankly, I just looked for the easiest way possible, which seemed to be Automations. Thanks for letting me know I'm lost. I found the page and will see if I can find the exit to the forest. :-)
