Heating Profiles on Homematic IP

1

Hello! I am new to HomeAssistant, so please excuse my ignorance.
I have a working HomeMatic IP system with some heating devices that are controlled by thermostates. That works quite well.

Now I installed HomeAssistant on a Raspberry Pi in a venv directory. I got it running and it connects to my HomeMatic access point. It shows all my devices with correct values. So far so good.

I have set up thermal profiles for my devices in the different rooms. These profiles are not visible in HomeAssistant. Is this a missing feature, or do I have to set up some addons?

Are you running in the cloud or on a CCU?

If you running on a CCU, then use the Homematic IP (Local) integration, instead of the builtin integration in HA.
The builtin integration is not maintained anymore.

If you are not running in a CCU, then I suggest you get a RF device, like Homematic IP RF-USB-Stick für alternative Steuerungsplattformen HmIP-RFUSB, ARR-Bausatz | ELV Elektronik | Bausätze | ELV Elektronik

RaspberryMatic and Debmatic is two software packages that use that RF device to provide an emulated CCU for Homematic IP (Local) to connect to.

Sorry, as I said I am new to HomeAssistant. I am not aware of these differences. How do I know cloud or CCU?

If I understand things right, I have installed the Homematic IP (Local) integration.

You are most likely using the cloud if you only have a Homematic AP.
If you are having a CCU, then you are most likely running locally.
If you have none of these, then you must have a RF device and be running some kind of emulation of a CCU.
These things have not as such anything to do with HA. It is the way your Homematic IP setup communicate and we need to know that in order to set up HA to be part of it.
