Home-Assistant custom component

homeassistant-aqara

Home-Assistant implementation for the Xiaomi (Aqara) gateway Supported sensors:

• Temperature / Humidity - reports if temperature change reaches 0.5 ° C or the humidity change reaches 6%.
• Magnet (Door / Window)
• Motion
• Button Switch(Each switch was shown as three individual virtual switches: ONE_CLICK, DOUBLE_CLICK and LONG_PRESS. Those virtual switches should be better used as automation triggers only)
• Power Plug
• Aqara Wall Switch

INSTALLATION

1. Install Home-Assistant,
2. Enable the developer mode of the gateway.

• Please follow the steps in the wiki: https://github.com/fooxy/homeassistant-aqara/wiki/Enable-dev-mode

3. Download and place aqara.py files in the home-assistant folder like this:

   • .homeassistant/custom_components/aqara.py
   • .homeassistant/custom_components/sensor/aqara.py
   • .homeassistant/custom_components/binary_sensor/aqara.py

4. Add the new platform in the configuration.yaml: lowercase is important, multiple gateways is not supported by now.

    aqara:
      gateway_password: yourgatewaypassword

5. restart the home assistant service, note that it may take several minutes to install the pyCrypto dependency during the first start.

CUSTOMIZATION

Since until now there is no way to retrieve the configured names from the gateway, Home-Assistant will display each sensor like that:

• sensor.temperature_SENSORID
• sensor.humidity_SENSORID
• binary_sensor.magnet_SENSORID
• binary_sensor.motion_SENSORID
• etc.

To make it readable again, create a customize.yaml file in the home-assistant folder. You can use step 7 https://goo.gl/gEVIrn to identify the sensors.

• Example

   sensor.temperature_158d0000fa3793:
     friendly_name: Living-Room T
   sensor.humidity_158d0000fa3793:
     friendly_name: Living-Room H
     icon: mdi:water-percent
  
   sensor.temperature_158d000108164f:
     friendly_name: Bedroom 1 T
   sensor.humidity_158d000108164f:
     friendly_name: Bedroom 1 H
     icon: mdi:water-percent
  
     ... etc.

5. Add a line in the configuration.yaml:

homeassistant:

Name of the location where Home Assistant is running

name: Home ... time_zone: Europe/Paris customize: !include customize.yaml ```

Magnet Automation example

• Example configuration.yaml

binary_sensor:
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      door:
        friendly_name: Frontdoor
        value_template: "{{ states.binary_sensor.magnet_158d0001179ae9.state == 'open' }}"
        sensor_class: opening
        entity_id:
            - binary_sensor.magnet_158d0001179ae9

automation:
 - alias: FrontDoorClosed
   trigger:
     platform: state
     entity_id: binary_sensor.door
     to: 'off'
   action:
     service: notify.TelegramNotifier
     data:
      message: Door closed
 - alias: FrontDoorOpened
   trigger:
     platform: state
     entity_id: binary_sensor.door
     to: 'on'
   action:
     service: notify.TelegramNotifier
     data:
      message: Door opened

TODO

• multiple gateway support
• include some options in the configuration file : IP, refresh frequency, etc.
• generate a yaml file with discovered devices
• integrate wireless switch, cube, gateway itself (turn on light / radio / etc.)

homeassistant-aqara's Issues

Own gateway functions

Hi,

Good job on this, thank you, it is working perfectly with my door and temperature sensors. A motion and switch is on the way now, will test them when they arrive.
Any news on the own gateway functions, like the light, wake clock and others?

Thanks!

Trigger problem with friendly_name

Hello,

Even though the trigger is successful for the non-friendly_named sensor as shown below in the log screenshot, the system is not able to associate it with the binary_sensor block definition.

I'm actually able to see that the auto named sensor (magnet 158d000110c38d) changing its icon on the UI but the Frontdoor icon is staying the same.

What is wrong here? :)

`binary_sensor:

• platform: template
  sensors:
  door:
  friendly_name: Frontdoor
  value_template: "{{ states.binary_sensor.magnet_158d000110c38d.state == 'open' }}"
  sensor_class: opening
  entity_id:
  - binary_sensor.magnet_158d000110c38d

automation:

• alias: FrontDoorClosed
  trigger:
  platform: state
  entity_id: binary_sensor.door
  to: 'off'

Seems to be broken on HASS 0.39

Is it me or aqara is now broken on HASS 0.39 ?
Had to revert to 0.38.4...

Can you help me ?

Info about magnet sensor and motion sensor

Hello,

First of all i want to say thanks for this developemtn about xioami smart home and their sensor.

Now i write to you because i have some doubts about magnet and motions sensors in home assistant.

How do you define them like binary.sensor or like sensor? I ask this, because i want integrate in homekit by home assistant homebridge, but in website, talks about binary sensor and in your example in github, you explain to define the xiaomi system like a sensor, but in automation talk about binary sensor.

Other thing using your custome component, is possible to link alarm HA with xioami alarm gateway?

thanks

Power Plug

Hi,
what about power plug integration ?

Temperature locks on 100 deg if sensor has no network

Hi,

the temperature reading locks on 100 deg if the sensor has no network, making the history graphs look very ugly.
This is happening on my house because of random power outages.
Maybe, the sensor should register the last value, what do you think?

Thanks,
Francisco

Updates?

Hi @fooxy any plans on updates. Would like too use wireless switches etc.

Error during setup of component aqara

How to enter Dev Mode with new app?

Any ideas on how to enter Dev mode if the app no longer has the "about" section

Different interface

There is a way to include the IP in configuration? Because the Gateway is in another interface (I create an hotspot Wi-Fi with hostapd and dnsmasq) and HASS can't find it.
It give me a error configuration.

Motion sensor only trigger once

In my installation the binary motion sensor started as off and on the first motion detected it changed to on but then it never changes back again so I can only get one motion detected and then no more.

I added the lines

    @property
    def force_update(self):
        """Return True if state updates should be forced.
        If True, a state change will be triggered anytime the state property is
        updated, not just when the value changes.
        """
        return True

to the binary sensor code to be able to automate on motions even though the home assistant state never actually changes.

Is the behaviour to not go back to off intended?

Wired Wall switch

Are the wired wall switches working as well, can i trigger them via Homeassistant?
