IHC Integration in the official Home Assistant

27 Janurary, 2018

The IHC integration is now included in the official Home Assistant release 0.62

If you have had the previous IHC integration installed as a custom platform/component, you should delete these from you configuration folder to make the new integration work. (Any custom component will overwrite the build in component)

Change since the last release

Some change have been made in the manual configuration, to make it more consistent in the way other components are doing this. Look at the Home Assistant IHC web page for more information about this.

I love it, super easy to deal with, and the documentation part on hass.io is good and thorough. Thanks for this!

Hi there, just upgraded to 0.62, i'm getting this error : Not initializing ihc because could not install dependency ihcsdk==2.1.1 2018 im my logfile. Help Please :-)

Home assistant should install dependencies automatically. You can install it manually from a command line using pip: ``` pip install ihcsdk ``` (On linux if using python 3 or later use pip3) You need to do this from the same user/context as you are running HA. To list installed packaged: ``` pip list ```

Any way to recive longpress and release on IHC Switches, for dimming non ihc lights via HASS?

You can connect a button from ihc to a HA binary sensor. Then you can use the sensor in your automation scripts to do whatever you like in HA.The sensor will be on when the button is pressed, and off when the button is released.

I have been using your Homeassistant component for a long time, with great ease. However, after updating to 0.70, IHC keeps giving errors. In the HASS log, it says: Unable to read project from ICH controller I also get an error, when trying to log into the controller through your IHC Alternative. But that one has nothing to do with HASS, so I am a bit confused, as everything clashed with me updating to 0.70. I really hope you can help.

I have not made any changes to the IHC integration since it was included in HA. I have also updated to 0.70 and it is working fine for me. Have you tried rebooting your IHC controller? Do you have something else connected to your controller. I did have a similar issue with openhab long time ago - it was preventing anything else to connect to the controller.

Alright. Could be caused by a short outage caused by lightning. I will have a look later today. Thanks for fast reply :)

It worked! Thanks! :D

Hi, i have been using the official IHC component for a while - really like it, but after I upgraded HA to 0.72.1 all my graphs stops updating. If I disable the IHC component graphs gets updated again - can anybody confirm that behavior ? tested on hassbian and hass.io with minimum of sersors. No lights at all.

Help to get started with Home Assistant. I already have a pii running with Openhab that is connected to IHC. and this runs fine. and now I've tried to connect ihc against Home Assistant. I have followed the instructions from the HA page about the installation. and have corrected the Config Yaml file, but gets INVALID CONFIG pleas check your config. Is there a kind soul that will help me get started.

Absolutely great with official integration. Work as a charm except that it brings back the issue with lack of support for multiple IHC controllers. Would it be possible to add support for multiple entries? With the modules being pulled automatically the old option of modifiying the code locally seems not as the best option. Otherwise, big thumbs up!

It is possible to do it, but I don't have the time for it right now. HA is all opensource so anyone else is free to contribute.

I have submitted a pull request on GitHub with support for a secondary IHC controller. Runs smoothly with my double controller setup and doesn't impact existing configuration. Hope it will help others with the same kind of setup :-)

Thanks. I know it will help 2 other users, who also asked about it.

Changes approved and can be pulled from the "dev" branch if you cannot wait until the release in a few weeks ;-).

Tadaaa :-) Support for multiple controllers finally a part of release 84. Be aware of Breaking Changes if you have manual configuration! https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2018/12/12/release-84/

After the upgrade I have issues with manual configured devices - I can only use the controller with auto_setup: true, even though I have moved the light and switches to the controller section - Any ideas ?

Had the same problem, all my "tryk" was missing. My errors (not detect by HA) all ID's must have a name binary_sensors - must be binary_sensor ex. ihc: - url: http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx username: xx password: xx auto_setup: true info: True binary_sensor: - id: 20770394 name: Tryk OV - id: 20770650 name: Tryk OH - id: 20770906 name: Tryk NV - id: 20771162 name: Tryk NH

Hi, I have the exact same issue after upgrading to 0.84. I have followed the guide on the "breaking changes" section, ie moved everything to the ihc: section...but no dice... any ideas?

Error in the documentation (my mistake). Use 'switch', 'light', 'binary_sensor' (instead of switchS etc). There were an error in the sensor module that have been fixed too. It will all be included in release 8.1.4

Hi Morten, I think there is a bug, or maybe Im using the wrong resource. I have some spotlights that are dimmable. I can turn them on using the hassio and homekit interfaces, ie through the IHC component. however, when I try to turn them off they just stay on. Other spotlights that are not dimmable turn on and off just fine. Am I doing something wrong? best regards Jock

Not sure but my first guess is that it sounds like LED lights that cannot feed the dimmer? Can you turn on and off directly through IHC? If you have LED bulbs you can try replacing them with halogen to see if that is the issue

Hi Morten, No everything works fine directly through the IHC system - and has worked for the last 12 years. The lights in question are spots in the roof (ie halogen GU10). I can dim them or turn them on/off through the IHC and the built-in software. They act strange when using the "Alternate View" app and the hassio component. They are connected using to the viewer/controller through the "unidimmer touch" module (https://bels.dk/produkter/12134-lk-ihcreg-lysdaemper/76394-dimmer-400-uni-sa/) which has 4 resources - touch on/off, sluk alt on/off, memory 1 and memory 2. If I use the "touch" resource the lights keep dimming up/down by themselves, until I use the "sluk alt" and set it to "on", which turns them off. Do you have such a module in your IHC system? which resource should I use to turn on/off and set a dimmer level? Is it a bug or my misunderstanding? best regards Jocke

Hi Jocke, All my dimmers (25+) are IHC wireless which allows programmable dimming (ie a setting 0-100% similar to eg HUE) from hass and alternative view. As I do not have a "unidimmer touch" to play with it will be my best guess but based on your description it sounds like your dimmer expects a pulse and instead gets a constant signal forcing the dimmer to constantly dimming up & down (ie similar to keep pushing the button). Are you using manual or auto setup in hass? And how/what is it registered as? It is just a hunch and I may be wrong but it sound as a configuration issue and my best guess would be to test it with alternative view and try with pulses on each ressource to test on/off and memory 1 and 2. In hass this is not a "dimmable" ressource as such. Try sharing your config and lets see if we can figure out what is going wrong.

Hi Joakim Nordström Did you manage to control your DIM400 ? I have exact the same issue ! I think the main problem is that the DIM400 do not send us the light level (e.g. 30% on) like the system get from the new wireless DIM. I think its the same issue if you use the official LK app on your smartphone , then you cannot control the DIM400... (i will test in the near future) regards janus, [email protected] +4521468084

My config dont work after update from 0.84.3 to 0.84.5 The change in 0.84.x made all IHC config unstable Can you please describe the changes made in 0.84.5

0.84.4 released with bugfixes and updated documenation. That should fix the issues with the 0.84 update

Hej Morten, I am guessing we both speak Swedish/danish but I'll keep everything in English in case you want to distribute to help others down the line. Ive attached my config, I have tried to config everything manually (following the updated docs). my IHC.yaml file lists all the IHC resources. I think you're spot on with your analysis, I am just a bit stumped on which resource to use - I have tried using the memory1 resource, but I can only turn the light on, not off. can we use two different resources in the same light? one for on, another for off? Could I build a function in IHC to control the lights and call that function? Here is the IHC.yaml file (relevant parts) # IHC # hämta information och resursid till allting i IHC systemet # kopplar sig till visual controller och hämtar ut följande # för att få ut allting automatiskt använd auto_setup: true istället - url: 'http://192.168.1.200' username: !secret ihc_username password: !secret ihc_password info: true # Switches switch: # tvättstuga - id: 717915 name: tvatt_strykjarn_uttag #...redacted . . . # Lights light: #redacted... # hallen - id: 1463131 name: hall_tak_spot dimmable: true - id: 1061467 name: hall_garderob_tak_ljus dimmable: false best regards Jocke

You can connect a HA light compoent to a IHC boolean (on/off) or a integer resource. If it is a boolean resource it controls the light directly, if it is a integer resource it is the light level from 0 to 100%. The IHC resource can also be an in or output of a function block in your ihc project. So your can make your own IHC function block to make it work as you want.

Hi, Total noob within automation and programming here, so sorry if my problems are due to lack of basic knowledge: I Managed to setup Home Assistant on a Raspberry Pi and get the IHC integration installed and working (auto_setup: true) I also managed to “map” a couple of my wireless IHC “tryk” (pushbutton remotes) to HA as binary sensors: binary_sensor: - id: 36444 name: Tryk_Koekken_Bryggers_NV - id: 36700 name: Tryk_Koekken_Bryggers_NH When I press an release on of these “tryk” the HA logbook shows these being turned on (when the button is pressed) and turned off (when the button is released), so the mapping seems to work. I have made an automation where I am trying to play/pause my SONOS mediaplayer by pressing one of the IHC “tryk”: - id: '1546893667219' alias: Mediaplayer test trigger: - entity_id: binary_sensor.tryk_koekken_bryggers_nv from: 'Off' platform: state to: 'On' action: - service: media_player.media_play_pause entity_id: media_player.alrum The automation is not working when I push the IHC “tryk”, but it is working if I trigger the automation manually in HA. This leads me to believe that it is the trigger part of the automation which is not working. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance for any assistance! Best regards Thomas

Try this: ``` alias: Mediaplayer test trigger: - platform: state entity_id: binary_sensor.tryk_koekken_bryggers_nv from: 'off' to: 'on' action: ... ``` on and off should be lowercase and use ' (This may be the the comment function here in wordpress that has changed it). Not sure it the order having -platform: state at the beginning is required, but the above works for me. (Note the indention is removed in the above by wordpress)

Hi Jens, Thank you soo much!!!! I made the changes you suggested and now it works. Thanks also for this awesome integration to IHC! Best regards Thomas

Hi, I'm having some issues with HA and IHC running on a PI3. I have tested the IHC addon with a docker container and here it ran fine. On my PI3B+ I get this in the log: Error during setup of component ihc Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/homeassistant/setup.py", line 148, in _async_setup_component component.setup, hass, processed_config) # type: ignore File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/concurrent/futures/thread.py", line 56, in run result = self.fn(*self.args, **self.kwargs) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/homeassistant/components/ihc/__init__.py", line 151, in setup if not ihc_setup(hass, config, controller_conf, index): File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/homeassistant/components/ihc/__init__.py", line 172, in ihc_setup hass, config, ihc_controller, controller_id)): File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/homeassistant/components/ihc/__init__.py", line 241, in autosetup_ihc_products component_setup, groups, controller_id) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/homeassistant/components/ihc/__init__.py", line 269, in get_discovery_info 'position': product.attrib['position']}, KeyError: 'position' This is a fresh install with homekit, samba, ssh, and unifi addons installed as well.

I have the exact same problem (and error msg) after upgrading to 0.85 .. made no changes to configuration or anything, but now my PIR is not automatically detected and all my manually configured switches are missing. Again without any changes to my config. Guess it’s an error introduced in v0.85, but pretty frustrating.

Details in this issue: https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/issues/20017 The XML library was updated and caused the error. I have made a PR to fix it that I hope will come out in the next hotfix release (0.85.2 ?). In the meantime I recommend to downgrade to 0.84.6 (working version) with this command: hassio ha update --version=0.84.6 Check the updatelog before the next update to verify that the fix is included.

Hello, I am new in HassIO / IHC world. I have a IHC Controller ver. 6.2; running Software 2.8.4. I have downgraded my HassIO to release 0.8.4.6 as recommended above. When trying to reconice the IHC controller ig get teh following error: Error during setup of component ihc Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/homeassistant/setup.py", line 148, in _async_setup_component component.setup, hass, processed_config) # type: ignore File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/concurrent/futures/thread.py", line 56, in run result = self.fn(*self.args, **self.kwargs) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/homeassistant/components/ihc/__init__.py", line 172, in setup if not ihc_setup(hass, config, controller_conf, index): File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/homeassistant/components/ihc/__init__.py", line 193, in ihc_setup controller_id)): File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/homeassistant/components/ihc/__init__.py", line 240, in autosetup_ihc_products project_xml = ihc_controller.get_project() File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ihcsdk/ihccontroller.py", line 84, in get_project self._project = self.client.get_project() File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ihcsdk/ihcclient.py", line 91, in get_project compresseddata = base64.b64decode(base64data) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/base64.py", line 80, in b64decode s = _bytes_from_decode_data(s) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/base64.py", line 46, in _bytes_from_decode_data "string, not %r" % s.__class__.__name__) from None TypeError: argument should be a bytes-like object or ASCII string, not 'NoneType' What am i missing?

Hi, I have a similar issue: "Error during setup of component ihc" I have a HassIo running ver 0.84.6, and a IHC controller 6.2 sw ver 2.8.4. The traceback give me the following: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/homeassistant/setup.py", line 148, in _async_setup_component component.setup, hass, processed_config) # type: ignore File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/concurrent/futures/thread.py", line 56, in run result = self.fn(*self.args, **self.kwargs) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/homeassistant/components/ihc/__init__.py", line 172, in setup if not ihc_setup(hass, config, controller_conf, index): File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/homeassistant/components/ihc/__init__.py", line 193, in ihc_setup controller_id)): File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/homeassistant/components/ihc/__init__.py", line 240, in autosetup_ihc_products project_xml = ihc_controller.get_project() File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ihcsdk/ihccontroller.py", line 84, in get_project self._project = self.client.get_project() File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ihcsdk/ihcclient.py", line 91, in get_project compresseddata = base64.b64decode(base64data) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/base64.py", line 80, in b64decode s = _bytes_from_decode_data(s) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/base64.py", line 46, in _bytes_from_decode_data "string, not %r" % s.__class__.__name__) from None TypeError: argument should be a bytes-like object or ASCII string, not 'NoneType' any good ideas on what is going wrong?? thanks Esben

Hi Esben, Can you provide your configuration? It seems that there are missing some when data but I cannot point out what's going wrong based on the traceback. The error seems to be thrown when reading the project from the controller which puzzles me a bit... Can you connect with Jens' "Alternative IHC view?"

Hi Morten, I'm in the process of setting up Home Assistant with hassIo at home, but I'm facing the same issue again and again when setting up the ihc controller.. When doing a docker logs, for the homeassistant container, I see the error: "ERROR (SyncWorker_6) [homeassistant.components.ihc] Unable to authenticate on IHC controller" ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.setup] Setup failed for ihc: Component failed to initialize My configuration is: ihc: - url: 'http://192.168.1.110' username: someuser password: asdf info: true auto_setup: true When I open http://192.168.1.110 in my browser, I reach the LK IHC Controlle-page. Do you have any ideas? Btw, I'm running HomeAssist version 0.85.1 Thanks in advance.

Hi Bruno, The syntax of your setup looks correct. Have you tried connecting with Jens' Alternative IHC Viewer? The casing of the username can be an issue so it is worth trying out to see if you can connect with the alternative view.

I can't install "Jens’ Alternative IHC Viewer" on my win 10 or my win 7 computer. i dont get the "install anyway" option. i have tryede to change my username to all lower casing letters, with no luck.

i just got the mono version to worke, this is the error message i get when i try to login. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1idS3_IDaP0VcNIokg7-eA2FU4zfX7DPk/view?usp=sharing what version ihc controller does this worke for?

I have myself tested with controller version 6.1 firmware 2.7.220 and 7.1 and firmware 3.3.9 (and the firmware version before). So I will assume everything after 6.1 and latest firmware will work.

Hi Upgrading from 0.84.6 to 0.85.0 or 0.85.1 Welcome message says "Setup failed for ihc: Component failed to initialize" Best regards

Hi Kim, It is just a guess but it may be linked to the 0.85 update and warning in the HA changelog: "Slugify changed, which can impact entity ID creation if the entities had names with either a - or characters outside of A-Z and the integration has no unique IDs. We now better handle the characters and substitute it with an alternative instead of removing that character." Check the "dev state" view in HA and see if some names have changed. Some characters have previously translated to two underscores __ - this is now replaced with a single. If not changed this may trigger an error that prevent other modules from loading correctly.

Hi - First of all thank you for making this integrations. It was extremely easy to make all lights and switches work. But what about IHC climate control, it that on the roadmap?

I don't have anything planed. Climate control in IHC is as far as I know not a "standard" product - like a switch or dimmer. You can have temperatures and make some function block to do some stuff. But because of this I don't see how this should be made into climate control in HA. You can read the temperatures from IHC in HA using a sensor and you can set the temperature in IHC from HA using the service function ihc.set_runtime_value_float so what are you missing?

I'm just using the standard functions blok 5.2 for all heating and the IHC ipad app works just as well with heating as it does switch and dimmers. This does not make it a "standard" product, but I guess that most people use this setup. I will see if I can read the IHC target temperature as well, and then use the ihc.set_runtime_value_float to sync. I want it as a climate control in Hassio so it can show up in the right way in Google Home. Thanks for the input.

Is it possible to make HA automatically reconnect if the ihc controller connection fails? My problem is that if the IHC controller loses its connection for a few minutes, then status in HA isn't updated before HA is restarted.

It should already reconnect if the connection is lost. Any state change happening during the "offline" period will however not be updated in HA. You are the second to ask this - so there may be some problem here. I will look into it when I get the time and see if I can reproduce it. (I am busy now doing a new kitchen and other stuff now, so it may take some time before i get there)

I get a error in the HA, when I use this config: ihc: - url: 'http://10.170.0.15' username: admin password: 1234 auto_setup: true info: true binary_sensor: – id: 3347290 name: Tryk NH - stue I'm trying to add my ihc input to HA.

Do "IHC® Wireless batteritryk LK FUGA 4 slutte" and "IHC® Wireless batteritryk LK FUGA 6 slutte" work with official HA IHC component?

Yes, but the buttons are not setup automatically in HA, because HA does not have similar push buttons. (Only a switch). You can manually setup each botton as a binary sensor in HA, and it wil be on when the button is pressed and off when the button is released.

Thanks for reply - so light level is not passed to HA, when using Wireless switches? In the "Light" section of https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/ihc/ "dimmable" is one configuration variable and I thought that using Wireless switches this would be true, i.e., I could see and set the light level in HA.

Yes light level is passed to HA but for lights, not for buttons! If you have a wireless dimmer it will have a light level and you can manually setup this in the light section of your HA ihc configuration. (A wireless dimmer should be found automatically from your project, if you have not disabled auto setup) HA does not know about how your IHC buttons are controlling your lights. So if you want to control your IHC light, HA must be connected directly to the light, not the button controlling the light.

OK. I have wired DIN rail dimmers, for example Schneider CCTDD20002 (replacing original LK dimmers from 90s). I thought that wireless buttons would have been a workaround to pass the light level to IHC/HA. So there is no way to have the light level passed with "traditional" DIN rail dimmers?

I don't know this dimmer, but as far as I can see it is a standalone dimmer not connected to IHC. Looks like it is controlled directly by push buttons. So the IHC/HA integration is not going to help you.

It is similar dimmer with similar connections to IHC than https://www1.lk.dk/katalog/ifkatalog.html?iid=11343. So it gets its 230V from IHC Output230 module and control signal from Output24 module. So it is connected to IHC, but the control really is done with short/long presses of pushbuttons.

Ok I understand now, but there is no feedback from the dimmer, so the ihc controller does not know the current light level.

Yep, that is true and that is why I thought/hoped that when controlling those with Wireless products (pushbuttons, remote control etc.), the light level would have somehow be passed, but ultimately it seems not possible. Thanks anyway for the great contribution to HA integration!

I got the ihc-integration for home-assistant to work with my ihc-controller. I configured my push-buttons as binary sensors in HA. But, the issue I have is that sometimes a push on a button does not trigger the binary sensor in home-assistant, and after a reboot of both home-assistant AND the ihc-controller, the integration works for about 1 day. After that, I get weird behaviour, for example, push on buttons don't get triggered *at all* anymore, while I can turn ON a light (using the WEB-UI), but not OFF, or vice-verca. I've tried installation on different platforms (raspberry pi with hassos, docker-contiainer, manual installation in python..., every time with the same result) I'm using ihc controller hardware version 6.1, firmware version 2.7.220. Has anyone experienced similar behaviour?

Hi. Got this working fine with my Controller V3 from virtual HA on ESXi Until now stable, easy and very usefull. Thank You. I have a CO2 sensor from Zigza, on my IHC, and i have made a functionblock that smothes the CO2 level. I would like to multiply the floating point number with 10 and remove the digits. I tried with the "value_template" like this: ihc: - url: 'http://192.168.1.30' username: admin password: ***** info: true sensor: - id: 11926292 name: CO2_sove unit_of_measurement: 'PPM' value_template: {{value | float*10 | round(1) }} The error message is: invalid key: "OrderedDict([('value | float*10 | round(1)', None)])" Is it possible, and just my pour skills?

You cannnot specify the value_template under the ihc sensor. You have to create a seperate template sensor something like this: ``` sensor: - platform: template sensors: mysensor: unit_of_measurement: 'PPM' value_template: {{ states( 'sensor.CO2_sove')|float*10 | round(1) }} ``` [Look here for the HA template sensor](https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/template/) (note indents does not show correctly here on the web page)

Hej. Jeg vil høre om det er muligt at integrere magnetlås til HA. Som det er lige nu, kan jeg "importer" den som en switch. Men det kunne være mega fedt hvis man kunne importer den som en lås istedet for en kontakt

Du kan bruge HA lock templete: [https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/lock.template](https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/lock.template) Se eksempel "Lock from switch"

Er der en måde at få IHC entities lagt ind i et "area". F.eks en binary sensor vises under "stue" og ikke i binary sensor gruppen?

Ikke med den version der er indbygget i HA nu. Men du kan med beta versionen: https://www.dingus.dk/help-testing-the-new-home-assistant-ihc-integration/ Entities har nu "uniqueid" og du kan ændre navn/area direkte fra HA UI.

Hi I tried the new IHC integration and IHC Viewer I Home assistant. Great work. But one problem - Every Tim I restart HA ill loose connection and have to delete IHC and reinstall it to connect and see it in the viewer. Perhaps imm doing something wrong :-) Regards

Jeg kunne godt bruge et par ekstra øjne. configuration.yaml: ihc: - url: 'https://192.168.123.3:443' username: bruger password: password auto_setup: true info: true log: Unable to authenticate on IHC controller Det har virket tidligere. Jeg har oprettet en ny bruger med admin rettigheder i IHC. Hvad er det jeg overser?

Hvis du har specielle tegn i brugernavn eller password så sæt '' omkring. Du skal ikke have port på url. (443 er standard for https - jeg er faktisk ikke sikker på at det virker med andre porte)

Any plan on integrating with the new stateless button provided in 2021.12 so those are visible in Lovelace?

I assume your mean making the ihc buttons show as the new HA buttons, i don't think that is going to work. The new HA button is as you write stateless, it is just an action that is executed when you press the button. It should have been a "real" push button, to fire events when pressed and when released. In ihc we often need to know when then button goes down and up for long press or adjusting light level. If you just want to use the HA button as a simple click in ihc, you can do that using then ihc.pulse service function.

Hello ! Do you have plans to include "IHC Beta Test Integration" and "IHC Viewer v2.0.5" as a normal Integration and not delivered via HACS? Everything works fine as it is, I am just curious :-)

I already made a pull request for the ihc integration, but that was about 8 months ago! So hopefully it will eventually be included. I am not going to include the Viewer, because of the slow process of getting updates into HA. It is much easier, and less work for me to have it as a custom integration.

Hi, that makes sense. Maybe the pull request has dissapeared somehow...who knows Thanks for an awesome integration!

Hej Jens. Jeg har det sidste halve år brugt din nye beta IHC integration og den har virket rigtig fint. Jeg installerede manuelt og har haft filerne liggende i ”config/custom_components/” på min Pi4. Herefter kunne jeg i HA se din IHC integration. Jeg har forstået at din nye IHC integration nu er blevet officielt integreret i HA og derfor ikke længere skal installeres manuelt i custom_components. Men jeg synes ikke helt at jeg kan få det til at virke? Jeg har lige lavet en ny ”clean” HA-installation og vil igen lægge din nye IHC-integration ind igen. Men IHC-integrationen kommer ikke frem blandt mulige integrationer når jeg søger. Er der noget jeg har misset? Eller skal der stadig installeres manuelt ind i custom_components? Mvh Lars

Du skal stadigvæk installere som custom component.

Tak - Det virker jo også glimrende med at installere som custom component. Det virker da iøvrigt meget trægt med at få åbnet op for den officielle integration i HA. Kan godt se at du har lavet alt forarbejdet for længe siden.
