You’re welcome, I’m just glad I now have Point integrated in HA.
And yes you are right, I didn’t give Minut the correct URL. In fact, I didn’t give Minut any URL, as I just asked for the client_id and client_secret. When they replied the client_id and client_secret back, I was told they could also configure the callback URL. Thus, Step 0 in this guide should be:
Step 0:
Ask Minut for your client_id and client_secret and ask them to configure the callback URL to https://hassurl:8123
Instead of waiting for Minut to update the callback URL, I just went ahead and tried integrating Point ASAP. I’ll see if I can help with documentation.
Sorry, I have no experience with alarm-control-panel. For automations I normally use Node-RED so was thinking this was the way to go - have though not investigated it yet.
Just got my Point from Minut and found your excellent integration with Home Assistant.
Did a simple automation trying to send an email when you press the button, eg.
alias: Point Button pressed
trigger:
entity_id: binary_sensor.hallen_button_press
platform: state
condition: []
action:
service: notify.MailNotifiier
data:
title: Intruder alert
message: The alarm button is pressed!
It works fine, but it seems there are more events that triggers that event!
Have tried adding binary_sensor.hallen_button_press.state in the message text,
but it doesn’t seem to work. Some ideas what I’m doing wrong or how to find the event that triggers?

I don’t know what is happening and will be able to troubleshoot in a couple of days, but have you tested to just trigger then the states goes to on? Or look at configuring the automation based on the triggers similar to how it is done for ifttt.
Hej Fredrik!
Has been running the automation for a few days now and it seems that the heartbeat from Point triggers the alarm once every hour.
I been running on HA version 84.2, don’t know if it can be the cause?
Tested to upgrade to 86.0 today and then the other Point sensors appeared (temperature, humidity and sound etc.).
Unfortunately, it also caused all my devices from Telldus/Tellstick to disappear, so I have to try to sort it out first! ;O(
/// Peter
As I said, will investigate what might trigger the automation from point.
I’m sorry about TelldusLive (I’m the one that have been maintaining that code). Hade an unfortunate bug that caused some sensors to not show up. This caused the fix to change the persistent ids’ so you might need to edit the .storage/entity_registry to fix it.
I’m happy for you that you can run 0.86 mine does not even start.
Yes, you are right. And that is due to the last heard from changes .
Change your automation to this:
- id: '1548404931395'
alias: Point button press
trigger:
- entity_id: binary_sensor.hallen_button_press
platform: state
to: 'on'
condition: []
action:
- data:
message: Point was pressed
title: Point press
service: notify.MailNotifiier
After updating to 86.2 and following your advice to edit in entity_registry,
all my Telldus devices are back and running again! All of the Point entities/sensors works fine to.
Many thanks!
but…
when trying the Automation:
’ This one triggers when button pressed and on LastUpdated!
entity_id: binary_sensor.hallen_button_press
platform: state
condition: []
action:
data:
title: ‘Minut Point alert’
message: Point button was pressed with no state!
service: notify.viamail
But not this!
entity_id: binary_sensor.hallen_button_press
platform: state
to: ‘“on”’
condition: []
action:
data:
title: ‘Minut Point alert’
message: Point button was pressed with no state!
service: notify.viamail
Tried with different combination of Single and Double Quotes around the to: text, but no luck!
Is it possible to test with: # data_template: # title: Minut Point alert # message: Point button just changed to {{ trigger.to.state }}
or something?
