So my old D5 finally gave up the ghost last week after years of service, and I replaced it with a D5 Evo SMART. Previously I had a Tuya garage controller wired onto the trigger to get it into Home Assistant, but looking at how sleek the new Centurion hardware is + how much info is available in the app, I just did not have it in me to just hook up a dumb relay onto it again and let all those metrics go to waste.
The Censys Pro app already has full configuration and live diagnostics built in, which is honestly amazing, so I figured there had to be a better way…
So I took the other route and reverse-engineered the cloud service the CenSys / MyCentsys Remote app talks to, and built a custom integration around it. No wiring, no extra hardware. If your operator is a SMART Wi-Fi unit already working in the app, this talks to the same backend.
What you get:
- Gate cover entity: open / close from dashboard, automations, voice
- Live status that animates opening to open to closing to closed while the gate moves
- Battery voltage, mains/power status, opening and closing safety beam states, theft alarm state, online/offline, fault flag, last seen, Wi-Fi signal
Setup is the same as the app: enter the phone number registered to the operator, get a one-time PIN (WhatsApp or SMS), done. Any operators on the account get added automatically.
Status: beta, and unofficial. Not affiliated with Centurion. It uses the same cloud the app uses, so it can break if they change something, and you use it at your own risk. It is a custom component (manual install for now, HACS coming). This has been requested from Centurion for years and there is still no official version, so I scratched my own itch. If anyone from Centurion sees this, genuinely love your work, hit me up, let us collab.
What I have tested: a D5 Evo SMART, with WhatsApp OTP.
What I need testers for:
- Other operators: D6, D10, Vantage, garage units, anything on the SMART Wi-Fi cloud
- SMS OTP (I have only confirmed WhatsApp)
- Anyone on the brand new SMART+ range, I want to know if it works as-is
Repo, install steps and full entity list: GitHub - Lex-campbell/centsys_remote: Unofficial Home Assistant integration for Centurion SMART Wi-Fi gate motors (D5 Evo SMART and others). Open/close plus battery, mains, safety beam and alarm telemetry via the CenSys cloud. · GitHub
If you test it, please open a GitHub issue (or reply here) with your operator model, HA version, and what worked or did not. Bug reports with debug logs are gold. Thanks.
