Home Assistant ! #1

Is there any way to use this plugin in Home Assistant?

nicholasrobinson commented 4 years ago

Not directly.

It appears there is/was a plug-in to allow home ridge control from home assistant: https://github.com/home-assistant/homebridge-homeassistant

But it would be more efficient to write a new home assistant plugin that uses the underlying driver directly: https://github.com/nicholasrobinson/node-smartcielo

I found the following article which describes one particular approach of how this may be done: https://opensource.com/article/18/8/build-thermostat-open-source-tools

Note: The article suggests that the preferred approach using today’s Home Assistant support is to implement the generic thermostat device: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/generic_thermostat/

Note 2: Specific implementation source code for reference designs can be found here: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/
