Best Plan of Attack

Configuration

Greetings !

I’m a new convert coming over from OH.

Installed in my home is a VANTAGE QLINK Lighting controller which predates the INFUSION controller for which I belive there is an Integration for.

In OH I used their TCP module to send ASCII Text Commands to a IP endpoint.

So to toggle lights on and off I would send ASCII strings like this to the endpoint:

ON=VSW!1 98 2 6\r
OFF=VSW!1 98 2 6\r

The QLINK controller is also capable of sending a response to update state.

With this said, what is my best way to accomplish this in HA?

Is there an integration that would suite this purpose, or do I need to go another route.

I’m looking forward to expanding my knowledge of HA and look forward to adding to the community.

Squid :squid:

Can you use this? GitHub - loopj/home-assistant-vantage: Home Assistant integration for Vantage InFusion home automation controllers.

Edit: sorry seems that is for the one newer than yours

Hi @fleskefjes

Thanks for taking the time to read my post.

Yes, you are correct the Vantage Infusion controller is the newer version of what I have and from what I know the communication protocol is completely different.

Can you provide a bit more insight? Would switches be binary sensors?

Trying to wrap my head on how I would implement…can’t gleam from the link you provided.

No experience myself, but it looks like it. You might need a pair of binary sensors for on and off by the looks of it.
