Hi all, I would like to be able to control my dumb light-switches from Hassio without impacting the current setup and without adding additional pi’s/esp’s/arduino’s. Most smart lights/switches are dependant on the availability of a hub and or sort of communication (wifi/zigbee/zwave). I want my lights to work with and without availability of this communication using the dumb switch (good for the Wife Acceptance Factor).
A possible solution is to add a HA controlled relay to each switch-light connection creating a traveler system but I have to be able to determine wether the lights are on or off in some way.
I found instructions on how to do that using a “Hall Current Sensor Module (ACS712)” connected to a raspberry-pi using an “analog-to-digital converter (ADS1115)”. The ADC must be connected through I2C connenction, for which instructions can be found here: enable_i2c. Not sure if it is possible to add the ACS712 to HA since there is no integration for it.
My questions:
- Is it possible to integrate the ACS712 on Hassio and how to do that…? If not, is it possible on Hassbian or HassOS?
- Is there another/easier/better solution to accomplish what I want (not replacing current switches)?
