Steren devices HA integration

Hardware
1

Hello, this post is in response to @Mistrap124 who, a few months ago, asked if anyone knew how to integrate Mexican Steren brand devices into HA, but they closed his question because it was in Spanish and I think there is a lot of community that could benefit from it. The information is useful, so I tell you that I managed to integrate the devices of this brand using the Smartlife application to configure the devices. Later I made the integration of Tuya Smartlife to HA and with that I was able to control the Steren devices through HA. It should be mentioned that I only have S-Home 100 smart contacts and they work excellent. If anyone has had a different solution or likes to share their experience with this brand, that would be great.

Hello, I got my first iot device and is a Steren device. I have it configured on the app. Are there any guides in how to use them with home assistant?

Great to know. Thanks for posting this! I’ve been avoiding steren products because I thought the only way to integrate them to HA was to flash them with tasmota but definetIy worth looking into. I would also recommend TP-link Kasa products as they often have good prices in Amazon Mexico.

Hello bro, how did you combine the smartlife app with the tuya smartlife? and also where did you get the secret access id in order to integrate it with HomeAssistant ? thanks in advance :slight_smile:

I have all Steren WiFi devices in my home, I just recently purchased a HA Green, I can not add even a simple light switch. Is there a way to add a generic WiFi device to the HA? Can anyone here help please?

Hey guys!

A bit late to the party. What Pepio means is that you add your devices to Smart Life instead of Steren’s app… And then you follow any guide intended for Tuya/Smart Life…

I have a couple of wifi lightbulbs (no brand), a steren camera (CCTV-204) and A/C unit from Honeywell. They work well through Smart Life.

The lightbulbs work with no problems with HA, the camera does show up and can be controlled (i haven’t been able to get a video stream from it, however), the A/C unit works partially (dehumidifier, fan and cold work, heat is not recognized)

For cameras, i recommend tp-link tapo c200, great price for a good product, like Gustavo, said…

P.D. I generally prefer using Zigbee, to keep my wifi clear from too many devices, and because it has great meshing… Most of my iot devices (lightbulbs, sensors, plugs, smoke detectors, etc…) work over Zigbee

Have any of you guys have succeeded on exposing the Steren devices into HA?

ok, I was able to successfully added my Steren devices (without having to add them to SmartLife) into my HA and then exposed them into my HomeKit Home App.

Before start this is what you’ll need:

All Steren devices configured in the Steren home App and exposed into Google Home.

Steps to expose them into HA:

  1. Install HACS in HA
  2. Download Goole Assistant SDK Custom from HACS
  3. Create an App on Google console, add the Google Assistant API and enable it, use your google account, create your oAuth credentials, set it as a website, set return URI “https://my.home-assistant.io/redirect/oauth” very important step since this was the one that took me almost a day. Make it public (you’ll be the only one using it). Keep your User Id and Secret since you’ll use them in the next step.
  4. Add Goole Assistant SDK Custom as an integration, it will be only available if you have downloaded from HACS first, when authenticating set any name then you’ll be ask to enter the previous credentials, log in using your email.

after that you should see the devices
