bestintcp

Home Assistant code for Bestin IoT home automation system (wallpad?). It speaks the (undocumented AFAIK) Bestin XML over TCP protocol.

I am developing against an IHN-1020GL version tablet using HomeAssistant 0.112.

Status

I'm still hacking on this and will snapshot to github as I progress.

Working:

• lights
• wall switches
• climate

To implement:

• fan
• elevator
• gas
• auto detection of rooms & devices vs requiring configuration

And maybe other stuff I find along the way. I'd really like to find the real time energy consumption stats.

Sotware Installation

cd ~/.homeassistant/custom_components
git clone https://github.com/laz-/bestintcp.git
# code should now be in bestintcp/

You'll need the Python xmltodict module... pip install, apt-get, etc to get your own copy

Then edit configuration.yaml and add something like:

bestintcp:
        host: 192.168.50.200
        port: 10000
        rooms: living 1 2 3 4 5

I'll probably auto detect rooms, but haven't implemented it yet.

Hardware Installation

You can get to the developer menu on the Android tablet by pushing the Settings icon for 10 seconds and unlock with the code 5968

This menu will conveniently tell you the IP address of your panel.

To connect to the tablet over the network you have to use ethernet (enabling wifi doesn't seem to work on my tablet). I am pluging into the "LAN L2" port on the gateway and bridging the network with a Raspberry Pi.

For now, see the pictures in the thread linked below.
