Hello @rainer s, I have a Centronic EC545 Becker remote control. Do you know which encryption algorithm this remote uses?

According to their webpage it is a centronic remote control: EC545

Do you have any information about which encryption algorithm the info Centronic remote control uses ?

I don’t know the details about the encryption algorithm. But you will find further information here:

Hope this helps.

I need to move my Home Assistant server to another location. Therefore I try to connect my Becker stick remotely to my HA instance. I was thinking about using a raspberry pi or a thin client with a USB/IP or ser2net server on it. Has anyone tried this kind of configuration and give me some hints?

I use a full HA “slave” instance on my Raspberry. I connected also my other wireless stick with Zigbee to this. For connection between HA “master” and"slave" I use Remote Home Assistant. This works perfect without any noticeable delay.
I disabled almost everything in the recorder within HA “slave” to avoid any problems with SD cards. All devices are available in HA “master” and recorded there anyway.
The HA master is on a virtual machine running on a small server.
This setup is stable without any issues. Mostly it’s running several months before I update and reboot.

Thank you very much. This looks like a very sensible and reliable solution. I am surprised that I have not come across this before.

Hi everyone,

first of all, thank you very much for all the work that is being done here and made available to everyone.
I’m fairly new to the HA world and my programming skills are a little rusty. I’m stuck at an earlier stage and wanted to ask for some advice: When adding the integration, it asks for a “Device IP” – what should I enter here? I took the information from the “Becker CentralControl HAS” page and entered “http://$CENTRAL_CONTROL_IP_ADR/cgi-bin/cc51rpc.cgi.” I suspect I need to adapt this to my local situation. Sorry for the noob question. I’ve been stuck on this for quite a while now.

Just to add a few more information: HA is hosted as own OS on a HA Yellow. Centronic USB with number 4035 200 041 0 is already connected to this stage. And I also adapted the configuration.yaml.

Thanks

Can you post a screenshot? For me I don’t think it asked for an IP rather the device path

appears after I look up for Becker and I push on CentralControl to add it as integration

RainerS · August 18, 2025, 1:06pm

You have to edit the configuration yaml file as mentioned in the readme.
The old-school way

Mine looks like this.

It should be explained quite well in the documentation of the integration

johaenge · August 18, 2025, 8:03pm

Thanks for the quick responses. I managed to do it—the other integration led me in the wrong direction.
