Any one have been trying the Skylink products just yet?

Third party integrations
1

Hey guys

Those are the most affordable product i found to date even compared to Monoprice

The only thing i cant find is if their hub or devices can be integrated in HS, i would really like to have someone’s opinion on the integration possibilities
Here’s the link to the products home page

Thanks for you help guys

Well they don’t seem to make any mention of an API but there is IFTTT integration which would give you some ways to talk between their products and HA.

With IFTTT , ( as i never used it ) is it possible to get a status of the action , ie: two way comm, or is it just a fire and forget type of command, kind of with the RF protocol ?

If IFTTT provides two way comm, that would resolve the question i would try those devices

thanks again

I set it up but never used it yet. The Maker Channel at IFTTT can do POSTs and GETs so you may be able to accomplish what you are looking for. Here’s a great video by @brusc on the setting it up with HA and includes integration with Tasker as well.

I’ll jump into IFTTT in the next few weeks to see what i can accomplish with it , then decide on the product :slight_smile:

I know this thread is quite old, but I’ve been using SkyLink for a long time and have written my own integrations for other HA systems. SkyLink’s hub has a very simple web interface built in for lights. Dont know how it wirks for security and garage doors. While you do need to pair your devices via the web interface, you can control (on/off/toggle) the lights over the web, not quite REST, but it is a POST with Basic Auth

modes:
On = 05000
Off = 06000
AllOn = 03000
AllOff = 04000
Toggle = 00000

Id: 1,2,3…10

TC = mode+id (5 digits with leading 0)

Use Basic auth
POST: tc=TC

Hi @stefanis,

Can you help me about Skylink integrations with HA. Do you have code for integrations and is it working well? No matter what I did, I couldn’t integrate the Skylink system in my house with HA. If you can solve this problem, I would be grateful.
