This integration shows how you can use an ICS-2000 in Home Assistant.
- Install HACS in Home Assistant using instructions found at https://hacs.xyz/docs/setup/download/
- Add a custom integration repository in HACS with url https://github.com/rdegraafwhizzkit/ics2000-hass
- Select this custom repository in HACS and click 'DOWNLOAD'
- Add the File editor add on in Home Assistant. Using File editor, add the following entry in your
<config_dir>/configuration.yaml:
light:
- platform: ics2000
mac: MAC_HERE
email: EMAIL_HERE
password: PASSWORD_HERE_OR_secrets.yaml
tries: 3 # Optional, defaults to 3
sleep: 2 # Optional, defaults to 3- Restart Home Assistant
You may also add tries and sleep to the config. The ICS-2000/KAKU has no way of knowing what the
current state of a connected device is and sometimes the command does not seem to reach the device.
If you do not experience any failures, set tries to 1. Between tries, sleep seconds will be paused.
With default settings, the command will be sent 3 times with a 3 seconds sleep in between, leading to a 6 second runtime for the command: click - pause - click - pause - click.
Note that the actual sending of the command is done in a separate 'non-UI thread' and for that reason a check is done if a device has a thread running at that time.
Restart Home Assistant and add a 'Light' card to your dashboard using one of the 'light' entities.
When you receive an error the first time you'd like to add a 'Light' card, it may be helpful to add or test with a 'Button' card for the entity first and then add a 'light' card. It seems to trigger integration to be recognized as producing light entities.
When installing dependencies on macOS it may be necessary (depending on your setup) to add some values to the environment (needs Homebrew):
brew install openssl@1.1
CPATH=/usr/local/Cellar/openssl\@1.1/1.1.1s/include/ \
LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/openssl\@1.1/1.1.1s/lib/ \
pip install --upgrade -r dev_requirements.txt
