Home Assistant BleBox integration (as a Home Assistant custom component).
NOTE: This is for people who can't wait for the official BleBox support in Home Assistant. (The PR for that is here.)
NOTE: This plugin is still in beta. (Though it IS expected to work perfectly - please open an issue if not!)
NOTE: The repository for blebox_uniapi PyPI module (used by this integration) is here.
-
Unzip to your Home Assistant config dir in a
custom_componentssubdirectory.
(e.g. rename/move the unzipped folder so you have $HOME/.home-assistant/custom_components/blebox/manifest.json)
-
Start (or restart) your Home Assistant, as usual.
-
Add an integration, search for "BleBox".
-
Set the IP of the device and accept. (It should display the BleBox device name upon success).
And you're done! (The new device's features should appear in the HASS dashboard).
-
Check that your Home Assistant config directory has a path like this
$HOME/.home-assistant/custom_components/blebox/manifest.json -
Check that the above file requires the latest
blebox_uniapiversion, e.g.
"requirements": ["blebox_uniapi==1.2.0", "semver==2.9.1"],
-
Restart Home Assistant (if you have installed/updated any of the above)
-
Check your
blebox_uniapiversion used by Home Assistant:
Home Assistant -> Developer Tools -> Logs -> LOG FULL HOME ASSISTANT LOGS ...
... and you should see a matching blebox_uniapi version:
2020-03-17 04:19:56 INFO (SyncWorker_35) [homeassistant.util.package] Attempting install of blebox_uniapi==0.1.1
- Remove the integration:
Home Assistant -> Configuration -> Integrations -> Configured -> (Trash bin icon)
- Add the integration via UI:
Home Assistant -> Configuration -> Integrations -> (Big "+" Button) -> (search "blebox") -> add IP
-
Use the BleBox phone app to check whether the device state is being set correctly
-
If you have further issues, check Home Assistant logs for errors and crashes
-
If all above fails, open an issue here
