Logitech Pop integration

kobski · February 9, 2018, 1:37pm

I am trying to use Logitech Pop buttons to trigger events in HA. But I have not been successful so far.

Does anyone have a working setup involving Logitech Pop buttons?

I have noticed this thread:

Here a working setup is mentioned, but it seems to require Harmony Home Hub, which I do not own.

Another thing, which is unclear to me, is whether to use the built-in Emulated Hue Bridge, or whether to use the external HA bridge:

Here, there is a long discussion of adding Pop support, but I am not able to get it working:

enhancement question

I'm trying to get the <a href="https://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/pop-smart-…button">Logitech Pop</a> to work with ha-bridge, with little success. The Pop's bridge sees the ha-bridge, and lists the devices I have configured. But, it's not able to actually turn on and off a light. Looking at packet captures, it appears that it's trying to use the scene API rather than directly manipulate individual lights. I see that trying to recall a scene is unimplemented, returning a 404 which throws an error in the Pop app. So far, so reasonable. The really weird thing is that the Pop doesn't seem to ever create the scene before it invokes it! I assume that it must have some logic to try invoking the scene, and, if that fails, create it. I don't have a real Hue hub, and the Philips documentation on what the error messages are are pretty vague. To test my theory, can anyone with a real hub tell me what the error message for an invocation of an invalid scene is? That is, do a PUT to `/api/<userid>/groups/0/action` with a body of `{"scene": "dAgckOe5XTPOgqV8"}` (or some other non-existant scene identifier). I guessed that it should look something like: `{"error":{"address": "/groups/0/action/scene", "type":"3"}}` but that was just enough to confuse the Pop into throwing an error at the app, but not to get it it to actually create the scene. Thanks in advance for any help!

So basically my question is if anyone has this working, and how they did it.

Thanks,
Jacob

I think your best bet is IFTTT. I’ve never gotten it to work any other way (though seeing that thread you posted, I’m going to give it a try with my harmony hub since I have one of those)

IFTTT has a fair amount of latency but it certainly does work. Until someone builds a native integration for Homes Assistant I don’t think there will be much else that is better. Logitech Pop doesn’t seem to be very well supported by Logitech, and due to prohibitive price it doesn’t seem to be well represented among Home Assistant users either. Regrettable, but not entirely unexpected, I suppose. I’m glad I got my buttons on sale!

Just saw this new pull request:

Looks very promising. I’m going to give it a try.

Thanks for the feedback. IFTTT is not going to work for me, as I have no access to my network from the outside (shared IPs).
But as I just posted, there is a new pull request, which might make Logitech Pop work with emulated hue.

Any one got Logitech pop to work with emulated hue?

I know this is an old thread, but I figured I would add to it since this thread is what pops up when searching for this topic. You can add the Logitech Pop Bridge directly to HA using the “Homekit Controller” integration, then the buttons are available freely inside of HA.

Hi,

Saw that comment and decided to dig up my Logi pop buttons to connect them, but i am at a loss.
The Homekit Controller integration asks me to choose a device to add right off the bat, and the pops don’t appear on the list.

Looks like there is some steps missing.
Can someone please elaborate step-by-step what needed to be done to add the pops to HA?

FYI I’ve had my POP working for years with HA, until recently that is. Some gotchas:

You can use the Wifi settings in your iPhone to join the bridge to your Wifi network. Or you can use the Logi POP app - but only after a factory reset (see notes below)
Make sure you’ve removed the bridge from Homekit (on your iPhone)
Make sure you’ve selected the button in the Logi POP app and selected Apple Home Control (otherwise the bridge will show up in HA, but not the button)

My current issue is, the button and bridge appear in HA, but my button automations just stopped working this week. I tested with a factory reset (hold bridge button 3 sec. while plugging it in) and a button reset (hold 20 sec), but HA refused to automate. Pairing it with my phone and Homekit allowed me to make a working automation though, so it’s something off with the Homekit controller I think.

Can you expose you configuration please?
I’m running the POP with HomeKit and it’s getting worse with it so I want to change it to HA.
I love them, too bad, they are discontinued.

Don’t really have anything to share besides what I last said. Had to do a factory reset on the button/bridge, then have it pair with my iPhone Home to get it on the same network. After that you can remove it from the iPhone, and it should be addable through Homekit Controller in HA.

Here’s one of my automations for it:
