Homematic: Devices recently added (to Homegear) are not present in HA

Third party integrations
1

Dear all,

I have Homeassistant running with Homegear as Homematic CCU host for many, many months now, working fine.

Recently I added two additional devices to my setup of type HM-Sec-SCo (window contact) and HM-Sen-MDIR-O-3 (motion sensor). Those devices appear in the Homegear management interface and when using the “Homematic Config” app.

However, they do not appear in HA (0.113.2), even after multiple restarts of both, Homegear and Homematic. Annoyingly, they are reported when enabling debug-log for the Homematic-Integration by @danielperna84 .

Integration’s configuration is dead simple:

homematic:
  interfaces:
    wireless:
      host: gw
  hosts:
    homegear:
      host: gw

Here’s output from home-assistant.log, addressing the recently added devices:

What am I missing?

Did you check if the devices are also missing in the entities overview? Since Lovelace is the default, you probably have to add the entities to your UI manually. :thinking:

Hi @danielperna84,

danke für die rasche Antwort.

Yes, I checked it. They are not listed under /config/entities (“Einstellungen” -> “Entitäten”) or /developer-tools/state (“Entwicklerwerkzeuge” -> “Zustände”).

My other, older Homematic devices are present there, including those of the same type as the new ones.

Update:

actually, the devices are present at the entities view, but they use weird entity names (see below).

  • binary_sensor.state
  • binary_sensor.lowbat
  • binary_sensor.motion
  • sensor.brightness

The other devices create entity-ids with their “serial” tag in it (like “sensor.meq0101044_brightness”).

Could it be I am missing a breaking change in HA?
