Xcomfort support in HA

[trondat (Trond)]

Xcomfort is a smart home solution by Eaton, they have light and heating control http://xcomfort.com . It would be great to have this in HA

[heinemil]

I would also like this very much, ther is kind of a way to do it using mqtt ->

karloygard/xcomfortd

But an HA implementation would have been much more sleak.

Hi, any progress on this topic? I’m considering to buy a house where there is xcomfort already for heating and lights, so it would be great to have it implemented to HA…

I’m working on an integration using XComfort Bridge.

Integration with XComfort Bridge

I’m working on an integration with Eaton XComfort Bridge. I have XComfort lights in my house and bought the Bridge, so my integration is using a websocket connection to the bridge. It’s beginning to work quite well and I trying to figure out how I can share this with others. The XComfort devices are of high quality, but they are stuck with closed source code so I had to backward engineer their websocket api. Will this be a deal-breaker for merging it into the main repository? I’m also not sure i…

Hi Jan,

thanks for sharing this with the community! I have XComfort lights (dimmers) in my house, and I am looking for a simple way to control these with Home Assistant. From what I gather, there are three main approaches:

1. Set up HA with the xComfort RS-323 (ala what olekenneth posted)
2. Set up HA with xComfort USB config and USB comm sticks and MQTT (https://github.com/karloygard/xcomfortd, as posted by heinemil above)
3. Your method of using the xComfort bridge.

Which would you recommend? I’m leaning towards your approach (3).

Best,
Øystein

My thinking was that it would be easier to make a feature-rich interaction with the high-level api in the bridge. The bridge is also often bundled in the starter package, so some people will already have it. That said, there is something clean with the USB approach.

I will keep working on the Bridge solution going forward and try to make it as good as possible, so I’m happy if people are trying it out.

Hi all,

I recently bought Eaton xComfort CKOZ-00/14 Communication stick and added the addon - xComfort v 0.6 - https://github.com/karloygard/xcomfortd-go
While starting the Add-on getting following error:

where can i get DPL files and how to configure this add-on for the Path of those files…

[karlo (Karl Anders Øygard)]

Datapoints can be read out from the eprom of the CI, and must be kept updated if and when devices are added. Consult the MRF manual at http://www.eaton.com/ecm/groups/public/@pub/@eatonnl/@electrical/documents/content/pct_325435.pdf, paragraph “USB-RF-Communication Stick” -> “Create datapoint list” for documentation on how to do this. For this operation, you will need the CKOZ-00/13 USB stick

hey guys,

For those looking for an integration of Xcomfort via the Xcomfort ECI or USB:
I have created a fork of the addon of Karl (above)
My fork allows to use any MQTT host (internal or external) as well as configure a username and password.
The rest of the project is exactly the same (fork) of the original addon of Karl.
