please don’t be confused Bosch has 2x independent Smart Brands (who is doing their strategy??).
This request is about the brand and products from Bosch “Smart Home Systems”:
This is mostly cloud independent which means all logic is in their central gateway.
The central gateway can speak 868 mhz (Homematic and Homematic IP protocol - but the firmware is blocking original Homematic products), Zigbee and more.
And Bosch “Home Connect” which is for e.g. kitchens and wash mashines from the the Bosch company BSH.
Bosch Smart Home also started to integrate some of the “Home Connect” products.
This component request is for the Bosch Smart Home and there exists already an detailed documented API.
I have updated the rest-sensor of HA to be able to work with client-certificates. Using this it should be able to read most of the values from the Smart Home Controller.
Ah, then we should join forces! My API implementation is here: API as well as on PyPi and the integration is here: Integration.
It looks similar to yours, except I implemented the following services:
ValveTappet
ShutterContact
RoomClimate
TemperatureLevel
As you can see, I mainly focused on the thermostat stuff – you probably have the alarm system? Sadly I don’t own any other devices.
There is a lot of work to do to get it into Home Assistant proper:
The configuration flow where users just press the button on the SHC and enter the password.
Enabling/disabling of entities
I8n
Documentation for home-assistant homepage
Code doc
…
I am willing to do these because I really want to see this hardware supported OOTB. Are you planning on working on any of these? Otherwise I would just go ahead and merge both libraries into a third one so that most of the devices are supported, do the same with the integrations and then start the “polishing” process.
good to see that others are working on this too. I also wanted to build an integration but only had the time to do some experiements with the API so far.
I would like to contibutre and make this an OOTB Integration for home-assistant.
I have an Door/Window-Contact and two Radiator-Thermostats connected. Also the Phillips-Hue is linked but I think this is out-of-scope cause it can be conntrolled by hass directly.
I really like this idea, and I think from the compontents, we can complement each other quite good.
The alarm system is just implemented as a service, but you need AFAIK at least on smoke detector / twinguard for acustic alarm, as well as shutter contacts or motion sensor as trigger.
At the moment, I’m not doing any work on new features. So I think time is perfect for merging both libraries into a third one, and then let’s continue together making all of this more robust.
Hey everyone,
I am relatively new to home assistant, but I am very interested in integrating bosch smart home stuff.
I have 2 eyes outdoor cameras 1 360 indoor cam
and 1 door contact, 1 smoke detector, 1 light control switch, 2 smart plugs, 5+ motion detectors.
As I said I am pretty new to home assistant and I think I would need a little walk thtough to make the integration work, but I would be glad to help and provide feedback or test some stuff.
Cheers,
Cracmeister
I would be glad to help with testing. I own Motion sensors, 2 eyes cameras, 1 360 camera, 1 door contact, 1smoke detecor, 1 twist device, 1 light switch in wall.
At least the underlying REST access can be improved to support async access.
