Lightwave Smart integration (for lightwaveRF) now broken

Third party integrations
1

Seems like a recent update to HA has broken the Lightwave custom HACS integration. This is a fantastic integration, which is much better than the one available in the official integration store. That one was YAML only, and I never managed to fully get it working properly.

The custom integration via HACS is one use constantly because we have Lightwave lights throughout to our house. I was just wondering if there are any other users here, or even a developer, who has any insight into how actively maintained this integration is, and whether we are likely to see a fix soon?

I appreciate that Lightwave switches are not that common, especially outside of the UK. And I believe they use proprietary protocols. It cost me a lot of money to buy five years ago when I built this house, but if it’s going to be a problem going forward I may have to consider other options.

Hi [email protected],

HACS is an interface integration that helps you install and update custom integrations found in GitHub. It has no effect on the operation of the CI.
You may have installed this using HACS, but the custom integration comes from a GitHub repository created and maintained by someone else. If you have a problem with a specific custom integration, your first step should be to check the original GitHub post where you found it. The people there know the product and use the software, so they can give you better help with your issue. You might find someone here who can help, but it’s not guaranteed.
