Gigaset Elements - Discontinues its services as of 29 March 2024

Gigaset has a internal software update which blow off the connectivity to the clients.
we called up the customer support to get that info last Monday.

So best thing is we gotta waitā€¦
Thank youā€¦

Are things working ok when using the official app?

Still having this issueā€¦
Maybe Iā€™m to stupidā€¦but do I need the hub?

Note 2ā€¦when I use the original gigaset elements app
That works flawlessā€¦
My goal was to integrate the doorbell cam on HAā€¦
Thank You

Good Morning,
I somehow got a up to 5 sec delay between the Gigaset Motion sensor and Hue lamb via HA; when it run the same setup via the Gigaset app, its as expected instantly; any tip what could I do to speed things up with HA?!

@Tadies The hub is required. Will add some code to have this logged / abort setup when not detected.

@Kuechenfenster This is a delay due to API call rate limiting on gigaset server side. If we poll more often you will be temporary blocked from pulling new info, nothing we can do here I am afraid.

guess i did miss that!
but didnā€™t found any post or howto
if the hub was neededā€¦maybe i was wrongā€¦
lets see if i can find that solved button againā€¦
cause its gone again!
thank you Dynasticā€¦

any way to get this locally addressed via a MQTT?

No I am afraid not

Good morning

Unfortunately, my installation is not working. I installed the extension via HACS, and the entry in the /config/configuration.yaml looks like this:

gigasetelements:
    # Name for components
    name: "Gigaset Sensoren"
    # Username - your username to Gigaset Elements
    username: xxxxx
    # Password - your password to Gigaset Elements
    password: xxxx
    # Switches - create switches for armed_away, armed_home and armed_night
    switches: False
    # Code - Code to enable or disable the alarm in the frontend
    code: 1234
    # Code_arm_required - require code for armed_away, armed_home and armed_night
    code_arm_required: False 

The entities are provided, but they are not functioning. Except when Home Assistant is restarted, the current state is displayed correctly.
Perhaps someone has an idea on how to make my sensors work?

Can you provide the debug logs by adding below entry in your configuration.yaml?

logger:
  default: info
  logs:
    custom_components.gigasetelements: debug

Hi dynasticorpheus,
so far I have used gigasetelements-cli under FHEM for the gigaset-elements system. Kow I use home assistant with your custom integration.

I used the privacy settings with

gigasetelements-cli -c gigasetelements-cli.conf -y on -j
gigasetelements-cli -c gigasetelements-cli.conf -y off -j

How can I switch this on under Home Assistant? I have not found it.

Hi @Sille

I still need to add this functionality so if you could log this as feature request on github I will try and add soon, initially in develop version.

hi,
is it possible to trigger the alarm with a hue sensor?

The integration creates a switch.gigaset_elements_panic_mode in case it detects a siren. The hue sensor is not supported by the integration itself but have a look at the manual alarm integration to combine both.

thanks, sorry Iā€™m newbieā€¦

I can see this Entities switch: gigaset_elements_panic_mode
but how can I add it under my automation, should be an action right?
but in the dropdown I couldnā€™t find it.

Are you using the service switch.turn_on ?

Oh I never thought it would be so simpleā€¦ Cool, here we go

thanks.
