Currently, EnOcean support only allows to listen state of things going on in the house, but there is no support for sending commands, such as a button press to turn on lights, outlets, relays, etc.
It would be great to be able to “forge” a fake switch, and allow to control all my devices in the house (such as relays). Is there any limitation for this? Or just need people to do this? I saw people using another system and sending things over MQTT to that system. It seems a little bit convulated.
Also, the current documentation badly reflects that state of things. I thought by buying EnOcean relays I could control them with HA. It is not possible. The “switch” integration is only a mirroring of a switch device, not a real switching entity which is somehow unusual and tricked me into thinking this is possible. I mean all other switch integrations I have allow to actually turn something on or off. That switch is actually a sensor of a switch, kind of.
Finally, it would be great to have a little bit more auto-discovery. Currently one needs to go in the logs to find the device IDs that would clearly be recognizable automatically, like the ZHA integration
Thanks!
