The Mediola Gateway is a multi-protocol, mult-transceiver networked gateway available as Mediola AIO Gateway or OEM product. It is the only gateway that supports my blinds (Elero) and it is widely available in my region (the Elero Centero home gateway is a rebranded Mediola gateway; there is an alternative for Elero blinds based on the Centero transmitter stick, but the Mediola gateway is cheaper).
The gateway has an HTTP API and reports important changes via UDP broadcasts. I created a simple MQTT gateway with HA auto discovery to make use of the Mediola features.
Limitations:
Only limited device support
Elero blinds
Somfy blinds
Intertechno remotes
Tested and developed on a v4 and a v4+ device
There is now rudimentary support for v5 and v6 gateways. For the v6, you need to map the UDP port 1901 to 1902 since it broadcasts on a different port.
When running standalone, also several Mediola gateways are supported.
Any contributions are welcome, so I’d appreciate a pull request. However, as I cannot run it as an addon, I will only accept changes that do not break running it as a systemd service (that’s the reason for the external configuration file, but with a few adaptions, both should be possible).

Thanks for all your work on making this really simple and easy!
What i noticed is, when autodiscovery does not work and i manually entered all my elero blinds from a Gateway 6, that the addresses are now in hex, which means after 08 it goes on with 0A. This seems not to be supported yet as you parse them as int always.
For myself, i removed that part in the script and use directly the adr field and it works flawless.
Maybe this is worth a consideration in the future to also fully support gateway 6.
It only affects people with more than 8 elero blinds on a gateway 6
No, the addresses are in hex on the v4 gateway as well. I stumbled upon this when I added my tenth blind a few weeks ago and it should be fixed since then (there are internal conversions hex <-> int).
Is it possible to install that integration on Home Assistant Container? Probably it has some dependencies as 3rd party apps/libraries. I will be pleasure for some short instruction. I’ve tried to install via HACS and pasting github URL like in other integrations, but HA says “Repostitory structure for master is not compliant”
You are confusing add-on and integration. This is not an integration but a bridge to MQTT. It runs completely independently from HA, hence you can’t install it in HACS. Add-Ons can only be used on HassOS and allow the usage of independent applications without requiring access to the underlying operating system.
If you are containerized, you probably have access to the host operating system. If that’s the case, then you just need to clone the repository, adapt the configuration file and run it on your host operating system. You need to add the MQTT integration to Home Assistant, a new Mediola device will then show up within the MQTT integration. This is exactly the way I’m using it and the reason why there is also a PKGBUILD for Arch Linux and a systemd init script.
You can, probably, run mediola2mqtt also on docker. However, you have to figure out yourself how to create the docker container.
Your Addon is really cool and easy to configure.
My Somfy Device is working perfect.
But I a have a lot of Blinds with WAREMA EWFS
I tried to configure same way, but there is no action by the blinds.
Is there a Solution for WAREMA EWFS ?
No, only Somfy RTS and Elero blinds are supported, plus InterTechno switches. The reason is simple: I don’t have any other devices.
However, we can come up with a solution: You need to figure out which commands are sent to the Mediola gateway in order to control the blinds. Then, we can integrate that with mediola2mqtt.
If I understand correct I can create a proxmox container with e.g. ubuntu und install there your script. This will “transfer” the mediola signals to any mqtt broker I have?
That’s right. The container needs to have a UDP port (1901/1902, depending on the Mediola version) forwarded so that it receives events.
Depending on your operating system, you don’t need any container at all (I run it natively on Arch Linux, without a container).
