Am I correct that currently there is no integration for DALI-2 IoT Gateway from Lunatone? I have seen people mentioning using modbus to talk to dali4net, or talking to Lunatone/DALI over KNX, but no direct support for IoT Gateway seems to be available?
Is there particular reason for that, due to some incompatibility, licensing issue, etc, or it is just an accident nobody tried to do it yet? From what I can see, API seems to be very reasonable, so it shouldn’t be that much work. I’m considering trying to do it myself, but given the cost of the device, I would like to know if there are any obvious showstoppers before I invest into that.
My guess is because the modbus one works good enough that nobody wanted to do it differently. Basing on the standard protocol would eliminate the possibility that the company pulls the API away.
Or because you and no one else has written something different.
Might want to ask the person that wrote the modbus one to see if there are pitfalls.
I would guess that it is just not a very common device - it’s relatively new (released ~2022 afaik) and quite expensive (~480€).
So there is a chance no one has had the specific need to write an integration for it.
KNX and Modbus are protocol implementations, these can be used with a variety of manufactures and devices.
The API used by the Lunatone device seems to be proprietary - so it is only used in that device and doesn’t seem to be part of the DALI standard or used by different manufacturers.
Nevertheless, a websocket API for DALI lighting would make for a nice HA integration! Interfacing directly with DALI would probably be welcomed by some users.

Here you may find a starting point.
Rgds.
They have ip- Dali gateway that work with cockpit and has diagnostic interface.
Unfortunately, after realizing the renovation will take a LOT more money then expected, I downgraded light setup to Shelly-based solution. So won’t be playing with DALI anytime soon 
Don’t be disappointed. I wasted a lot of time on Lunatone products, only to realise that their API is janky, incomplete, and only partially documented. They make great hardware, and I like their approach to configuration of gear/devices. But everything is WAY too expensive for what you get (even compared to other enterprise-grade DALI ecosystems) and the API (including the node-red integration) is a joke.
I just bought the DALI-2 IoT Gateway from Lunatone and have completed the lighting setup using DALI. However, only half of the devices are from Lunatone because they are quite expensive. Still, setting up mixed-brand DALI devices was surprisingly easy. The next step is to sync everything with Home Assistant (HA).
Regarding the sync, I’m not sure which approach I’ll take yet. The IoT device already has a Node-RED server running, so I might just use the UI to connect it to HA. Alternatively, if I have time, I might create a proper integration for this device.
Hi all,
I have installed in my house two years ago the Dali2IOT Gataway without node red and connected to my nodered dockered via HTTP POST/GET protocol.
Lunatone gataway instructions are quite easy and the connection works fine.
I just had to struggle a bit to manage all my lights (I have 40 dali lightw, and only 5 are from lunatone) in node red , and the function node is a bit complex. But it works very well.
If you are interest pls let me know.
which other enterprise devices are you talking about ?
google doesn’t have a proper answer for that, maybe I don’t know what to search 
I would be really happy, if you could give me some hints, for other products.
