Homematic Window Sensor HmIP-SWDM-2 not found

Configuration
1

First of all: I am absolutely new to Home Assistant, so please have some pity on me.

I integrated lots of homematic and homematic Ip sensors via the core Homematic integration. All worked well. but one window sensor (a new one: HmIP-SWDM-2) was not found. I look into the pyhomematic repository and there it was listed.

Maybe I did something wrong? Or do I have to disable this integration and newly integrate something via this “HACS”? Sorry to ask like this, but as I said, I am a newbie to Home Assistant.

Thanks for your help!

With HomeMatic I recommend the Homematic_local integration from HACS over the core integration. It is way better and is way more actively maintained.

Thanks, @WallyR, that was what I was fearing. Now I have to find out how to install all that stuff. But I will try…

The Homematic_local will just connect to your CCU or your RaspberryMatic addon, so not that much of a change.

@WallyR, thanks once again. I switched to the homematic_local integration and now everything works fine!
