Installation

[martin-porizek]

I came across this thread because I also have the Kostal Piko 4.2 and I would love to try it and integrate with Home Assistant.

Unfortunately I’m not such expert; could you please share some hints how to install the integration?

Thank you in advance, Martin

Hi @martin-porizek and @tomjons24. Did you try to copy this library in the custom_components folder and restart the server?

How can i copy this library to the custom_components folder? With the file editor i can only copy simple files, but no complete folders. Also if i search in the HACS for Kostal Piko, only the old version from @gieljnssns is available, but not yours.

@wolframkorth you download this repo and then you connect to the home assistant network share and copy into the custom_components folder.

After installing and restarting the server I get the message : ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.sensor] The kostal platform for the sensor integration does not support platform setup. Please remove it from your config.

My configuration.yaml sensor:

• platform: kostal host: 192.168.10.54 username: !secret kostal_username password: !secret kostal_password monitored_conditions:
  • solar_generator_power
  • consumption_phase_1

can some one explain where to define the sensors in their config? What am I missing
