Hi all,
Hope I can get some ideas on how to solve my issue cleanly.
I’m running a home assistant that integrates an "old’’ wired home automation system with some additional sensors and lights. The old system (niko home control) is integrated with HA and I can control all relays from HA. I can also poll the system, however, I can’t get any data from the physical buttons around the house (the bus system doesn’t trigger any events via the integration).
Theoretically I can poll the state but it is impractical as it either causes a delay (~5 seconds) or it overloads the system if I reduce the poll interval timing.
My main goal is to have my physical ‘all lights out’ buttons work with the old system (working) but also the HA-only lights (not working) without delays. I would like to approach this by connecting a device to the output of my wired system, switch it with the old system and let this device send an event to HA which triggers the rest of the automation.
Does anyone have a suggestion for the device to use to send the event to HA when I push the button?
Thanks,
P.
