Free@Home component for Home Assistant

This is a component for Free @ Home from Busch-Jaeger. Lights, scenes, covers, binary sensors, climate devices and the sensors of the weather station wil show up in Home Assistant.

Place the files in the custom_components directory. This should be in the same directory as the configuration.yaml. Then you can do a restart of Home Assistant.

With Home Assistant version 0.88 the way sources should be placed in the custom_components directory has changed. This version won't work on earlier versions.

Free@home now appears as an integration in Home Assistant.

The sysap will be autodetected through zeroconf. Then you only have to fill in a username and password.

If the sysap is not autodetected, you can add the integegration. Then you have to add a host, username and password.

The configuration.yaml can still be used, then u have to add the following lines:

freeathome:
  host: <ip adress of the sysapserver> or SysAP.local  
  username: <Username in free@home>    
  password: <Password in free@home>    
  use_room_names: <This is optional, if True then combine the device names with the rooms>

If one of your devices does not work, feel free to open an issue. Please provide some debugging information about your setup. In order to add new devices, please also send a copy of your free@home device XML configuration as well as some status updates. See below how to obtain both.

• Go to Developer Tools -> Services
• Enter Service: freeathome.dump
• Leave Service data empty
• Hit Call Service

Then look in your Home Assistant configuration folder for a file called freeathome_dump_<ip>.xml and attach it to an issue (e.g. by using https://paste.ubuntu.com/).

• Go to Developer Tools -> Services
• Enter Service: freeathome.monitor
• Enter Service data: duration: 5
• Hit Call Service

Now the system will record device updates for the next 5 seconds. Look in your Home Assistant configuration folder for a file called freeathome_monitor_<ip>.xml and attach it to your issue (e.g. by using https://paste.ubuntu.com/).
