Enocean FT55

christianhau · February 25, 2017, 11:53am

Hi!
¨
I have bought a USB310 Enocean controller and connected it to my raspberry pi. I have enabled Enocean by doing as the component configuration suggests: https://home-assistant.io/components/enocean/

I have then added a Eltako FT55 switch to to the configuration using the example https://home-assistant.io/components/binary_sensor.enocean/

The binary sensor has now been added to my list of entities:
binary_sensor.enocean_binary_sensor off friendly_name: EnOcean binary sensor

The switch has four buttons but it only shows up as one binary sensor, shouldn’t there be two? On top of this I can’t get the state of it to change by pressing the buttons on the FT-55. There are no errors in the log and I honestly don’t know where to search for further information on what has gone wrong, anyone else using this switch?

The combination of battery less wall switches and Hue lights look really good, just have to get it to work…

The physical switche(s) don’t have a state (you can’t tell if it is on or off by looking at it). So it doesn’t make much sense to keep a state in home-assistant.
Instead the switch generates button_pressed events which can be used in automations. The event data contains the enocean id of the switch, a field ‘which’ to identify the switch and the binary field ‘onoff’.

See the example below of my automation:

  - alias: switches hall
    hide_entity: true
    trigger:
      platform: event
      event_type: button_pressed
      event_data:
        id: [0xXX, 0xXX, 0xXX, 0xXX]
        pushed: 1
    action:
      service_template: "{% if trigger.event.data.onoff %} light.turn_on {% else %}  light.turn_off {%endif %}"
      data_template:
        entity_id: "{% if trigger.event.data.which == 1 %} light.hall1 {% else %} light.hall0 {%endif %}"

Awesome, I’ll try that out. Is there any way to see what input HA receives when I push a button so that I know what input values to work with?

christianhau · February 25, 2017, 8:13pm

It worked! Thanks a lot! But I am struggling to find out how to understand what each button sends in as a signal so I can use it in an automation. Haven’t found any documentation on this similar to the code you pasted in above.

For the event_data I guess it identifies which switch the data is coming from, but what does the pushed:1 mean?
trigger.event.data.onoff, is onoff the only data that the switch sends in?

As you probably can tell I am struggling with finding more information on this and any pointing in the right direction would be appreciated.

jannau · February 25, 2017, 8:36pm

Only from home-assistant’s log output. The switches generate one signal for press and one for a release:

... Bus:Handling <Event button_pressed[L]: which=1, pushed=1, id=[0, 0, 0, 0], onoff=0>
... Bus:Handling <Event button_pressed[L]: which=1, pushed=0, id=[0, 0, 0, 0], onoff=0>

The FT55 has four switches. Let’s call them left-up, left-down, right-up and right-down. I won’t assciate any values to the names since the switch can be rotated by 180 degrees.

Due to the rocker design the left switches and the right switches are grouped. The group is identified by the ‘which’ field in the event data (0 or 1).

The ‘onoff’ field identifies the up or down switch (also 0 or 1).

‘pushed’ is 1 for the button press and 0 for the release. The two events could be used to distinguish short and long presses or closing blinds as long as the button is pressed.

‘id’ is the enocean id of the switch (used in the binary_sensor definition and printed on the switch).

Thank you so much @jannau, will check it out right away. One more question, how do you see the home assistants log output?

jannau · February 25, 2017, 9:35pm

@christianhau depends on your system

btw: I created PR2145 request to document the events in the enocean binary sensor documentation.

christianhau · February 25, 2017, 9:37pm

Good stuff, better documentation would be awesome. I am running this on a raspberry pi, will try to google some more to find how to access the running logs, thanks again!

HI

did you get it to work? Iam totally struggling with the implemantion of my enocean featured devices so far.

FT55 i see the pushed button messages in the homeassistant.log but iam unable to send anything from HA to the devices how are you doing that? i have BSC 300 USB dongle connected to my machine.

Please i would very much appreciate any help from you guys.

regards
manu

jannau · April 25, 2017, 6:33pm

What kind of devices? If it’s not mentioned home-assistant enocean component documentation it might need changes to work. I have only FT55 wall switches.

onedread · April 25, 2017, 8:29pm

Hi

thx for reply.

I have Ft55 switches 2 Frud61npn dimmers and a Nodon Smart plug Asp-2-1-10.

I do see the button pressed and released actions in he log. But nothing changes in the gui i know there is no saved state for the Ft55. I wanna send things to the dimmers and switches from Ha gui but nothing happens. I am also not sure how to pair my aktors like dimmer with bsc usb dongle.

If you could help me out i would be very thankful. I almost setuped all my needs with ha and i like the look and feel but iam unable to talk with my “smart” helpefs to automate things.

With FHEM for example i played around yesterday and i was able to at least pair the decices over usb dongle.

thx in advance

jannau · April 26, 2017, 6:00pm

The FT55 switches just send events. The log is the only indication of them but you can use them in automations, see the documentation for an example.

As I said I only have the EnoceanPi receiver/transmitter and FT55 switches so I have no experience with other devices. The pairing is not implemented in HA but if you did the pairing with fhem it might be possible that the devices now work.

Hello,

I have bought a USB300 EnOcean USB stick and an Eltako FT55 switch and set them up in Home Assistant. In the Home Assistant log file I see messages like these when I push one of the buttons on the Eltako FT55 switch:

2017-10-20 20:32:18 DEBUG (Thread-22) [enocean.communicators.Communicator] FE:F8:D1:34->FF:FF:FF:FF (-76 dBm): 0x01 [‘0xf6’, ‘0x0’, ‘0xfe’, ‘0xf8’, ‘0xd1’, ‘0x34’, ‘0x20’] [‘0x2’, ‘0xff’, ‘0xff’, ‘0xff’, ‘0xff’, ‘0x4c’, ‘0x0’] {}

The problem is I don’t know the ID of the Eltako FT55 switch. The documentation states that the ID is a 4 bytes long number which is written on the device. As example the following ID is given in the documentation: 0x01,0x90,0x84,0x3C. I don’t see such number on the device, but I see this ID on the back of the switch: FEF8D134. Is that the ID which I need to enter? If so, how do I convert this to 4 hex values?

I would like to use the FT55 switch in an automation: if a certain button is pressed, then something happens, like turning on/off a Hue light. Thanks for reading.

ornago · January 5, 2018, 9:30am

Hello Ctrl-Alt,

“FE:F8:D1:34” should be the right ID. It’s a number in hex, written in code as “0xFE, 0xF8, 0xD1, 0x34”. 1 Byte in hex has two digits from ‘00’ till ‘FF’ or in decimal 0 till 255. So far for that lesson
Interesting that your Log gives it in Hex, my one does output in decimal.
At the moment i have many problems with this enocean too. With an old config i could see the status of my switches (binary_sensors) FT55. But never got one of the actors running. Have the same FUD61NPN Dimmer as onedread. Maybe the pairing is missing but FHEM doesn’t work too.

mainkowitsch · April 13, 2019, 8:50pm

hi there…

do anyone get this running???
I bought the usb300 adapter + a FT55 switch to test… I get the same results as @Ctrl-Alt

Ctrl-Alt · April 23, 2019, 6:40pm

Yes, I was able to get the EnOcean component up and running. It works very good.

Will711990 · August 24, 2019, 9:17am

Hi !!
Sorry to come back to this topic, but there is no many documentations about EnOcean…
How could we have the state of the buttons in attributes of the object ?

Thank you !

danist · January 13, 2020, 9:32pm

See my post here: EnOcean - Configure FUD61, how to get 'sender_id'

this might help.

ds1707 · April 14, 2020, 7:49am

Hello guys,

I have problems with my senic bridge, after installation of hoppe window handle sensor, the senic bridge stopped working.
That’s why i decided to try to implement my nuimo click switches directly to hassio.

I added the USB 300 to my config, this works fine.
After that i read the ID’s of my sensors with Dolphinview.
Now i get this debug message:

Copy to clipboard

2020-04-14 08:58:31 DEBUG (Thread-2) [homeassistant.components.enocean] Received radio packet: 00:35:BD:C8->FF:FF:FF:FF (-91 dBm): 0x01 ['0xf6', '0x10', '0xID1', '0xID2', '0xID3', '0xID3', '0x30'] ['0x0', '0xff', '0xff', '0xff', '0xff', '0x5b', '0x0'] OrderedDict()

The 0x10 is for button 1, 0x30 = button 1, 0x50 button 3, 0x70 button 5.

I created the switch in the config:

Copy to clipboard

  - platform: enocean
    name: enocean_nuimo_click_kuche
    id: [0xID1,0xID2,0xID3,0xID4]

Now i wanted to create a automation for each button, but could not get it working.

Copy to clipboard

event_data:
  id:
    - ID1
    - ID2
    - ID3
    - ID4
  onoff: 0
  pushed: 1
  which: 10

Can anyone help me with the automation?
That would be awesome, so i can get rid of the senic bridge…
Best regards,
Dominik

fedot · May 31, 2020, 4:17pm

Hey Dominik,

try setting it up this way:

The trigger is button_pressed, take a look at the binary_sensor paragraph of the Enocean integrations page (especially the bottom part) https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/enocean/#binary-sensor
