I am in the process of buying new windows and the manufacturer can integrate Intellitag Air IO Window Sensor from Somfy.
These sensor have several advantages: they know the position of the door lock; they incorporate vibration sensors and they are completely hidden.
However, what is unclear to me is whether the Overkiz integration supports Intellitags (Normal or Air) and show it to Home Assistant.
The integration documentation says that not all devices are supported.
Has anyone experience with it?
Is the state reported live to Home Assistant, or only on a regular poll?
Does it use the local integration or cloud based?
Almost all IO hardware is supported, especially simpler hardware like yours. The only caveat is that some devices don’t broadcast realtime updates, which might be non ideal for your use-case.
Not really unfortunately. The cloud api will get new events every 30 seconds, where the local API will get it every 5 seconds. Both is fine.
The issue is for devices that don’t broadcast their uodated status unfortunately. Somfy solves this by forcing an update when you open the app, but we can’t apply this in Home Assistant in the same manner.
