iobroker.hass v1.4.0

ioBroker.hass

This adapter uses Sentry libraries to automatically report exceptions and code errors to the developers. For more details and for information how to disable the error reporting see Sentry-Plugin Documentation! Sentry reporting is used starting with js-controller 3.0.

This adapter allows the connecting of Home Assistant to ioBroker.

Usage

Create a long term token in HASS and use it as PW (copy it also in the repeat field).

Then it should read out all attributes for all devices. Services might be controllable (e.g. "turn_on"). To control services you have two options:

Set a direct value

Set the state with an ack=false value which is not a string (e.g. Boolean true) then it will be triggered also in HASS without additional service data. This will only work if the service has one field to be sent - then the value is sent as this field! If the service has more than one field you will find a warning in the log that provides more details about the fields taht are possible to be sent, e.g.

Please make sure to provide a stringified JSON as value to set relevant fields! Please refer to the Readme for details!
Allowed field keys are: temperature, target_temp_high, target_temp_low, hvac_mode

Set a stringified JSON to provide one or multiple fields

Set the state with an ack=false String value which is a stringified JSON object to call the service and use the JSON object as service data

For the last option on a light.turn_off with e.g. {"transition":10,"flash":"short"} these two service data details are sent with the call to HASS. The available fields with their exact data definition can be seen in the JSON definition of the ioBroker object in the native.fields section and would look like the following in the above example:

... native: { "fields": { "transition": { "name": "Transition", "description": "Duration it takes to get to next state.", "selector": { "number": { "min": 0, "max": 300, "unit_of_measurement": "seconds" } } }, "flash": { "name": "Flash", "description": "If the light should flash.", "advanced": true, "selector": { "select": { "options": [ "long", "short" ] } } } }, "entity_id": "light.mi_control_hub_light", "attr": "turn_off", "type": "light" } ...

For some services like set_speed it is required to call with a JSON object like {speed: "high"} in general to provide required values. In this case the field definition look e.g. like:

...
    native: {
        "fields": {
            "speed": {
                "name": "Speed",
                "description": "Speed setting.",
                "required": true,
                "example": "low",
                "selector": {
                    "text": null
                }
            }
        }
        ...
    }
...
