How to handle a needed Plugin from ioBroker in HA?

Hey Guys,

I have a ventilation device which can be controlled via a plugin in ioBroker.
Unfortunately not in Home Assistant. What would be the smartest way to make this controllable in HomeAssistant?

My first thought would be mqtt - but it’s also quite a lot of effort, since there are many sensors and controls…

The answer is … it depends

There’s two main approaches you can take:

  1. Create an integration for it
  2. MQTT

If it supports MQTT then (2) is the typical route, and you can use MQTT Discovery to simplify adding them.

Unfortunately without more information on that that device is, and what the ioBroker plugin is/does… :man_shrugging:
