Hi everyone
I’d like to share a custom integration I built for the Innoxel Master 3, a Swiss home-automation controller that is quite common in Swiss homes but has no official Home Assistant support. If your house runs on an Innoxel system, this integration talks directly to its local SOAP API — no cloud, no MQTT bridge, no separate gateway.
GitHub: GitHub - prusuino/ha_innoxel_master3: Home Assistant integration for the Innoxel Master 3 home automation controller (native SOAP, no cloud/gateway) · GitHub (HACS custom repository, submission to HACS default is pending)
What it does
Everything is discovered automatically from your own Innoxel configuration via SOAP getIdentity — the names and rooms you already set up in the Innoxel software are exactly what appears in Home Assistant. Nothing is hardcoded, no YAML mapping needed.
| Platform | What you get |
|---|---|
| Covers | Motorized blinds/shutters with proper full-travel behavior (see below) |
| Switches | Outputs and virtual switches, plus enable/disable for Innoxel time switches |
| Lights | Dimmer modules with brightness |
| Climate | Room climate modules: target/actual temperature, valve state |
| Weather station | Temperature (actual + felt), wind, sun brightness east/south/west, twilight, rain |
| Diagnostics | Master hardware health: supply/CPU/backup-battery voltages, CPU temperatures, uptime, bus states |
Setup is a normal config flow (the Master 3 is even found via SSDP discovery) — enter host and credentials, done.
The interesting part: covers
Innoxel distinguishes a short button press (full travel to the end position) from a long press (jog only while held). Naively toggling the output relay from Home Assistant either leaves the relay engaged or only wiggles the blind. This integration fuzzy-matches each motor output against the corresponding virtual input channel in your Innoxel configuration and triggers autoImpulse there — the same thing that happens when you short-press a physical wall button. Result: open/close from Home Assistant behaves exactly like a wall button press, including stop-on-second-press while the cover is moving.
Installation
Via HACS → Custom repositories → add the repo URL as Integration, then install “Innoxel Master 3” and restart. Manual installation works too (copy custom_components/innoxel).
Notes
- This is an independent, community-built integration — not affiliated with or endorsed by Innoxel.
- Protocol knowledge was informed by the community reference project matthsc/innoxel-soap — credit to its author.
- Tested against a real Master 3 installation (covers, switches, dimmers, weather station, room climate, diagnostics).
Feedback, issues, and pull requests are very welcome — especially from other Innoxel owners, since module configurations differ from house to house.
