Modbus support
+Kixam has contributed support for modbus, a serial communication protocol to control PLCs. It currently supports sensors and switches which can be controlled over serial, TCP and UDP connections.

One of the things that was missing in Home Assistant for a while was a way to communicate with users. Wouldn’t it be nice to get a message when important events happen like the lights being turned on while no one is home? Since the Home Assistant frontend runs as a web application on the phone, we have no way to bring ourselves to the front. This is where the new notify component comes in, powered by PushBullet.

- -

The new notify component will take in messages and tells them to the user. For now this will be powered by the very awesome PushBullet but any other messaging platform can be easily added.

- -

- - A message triggered by the simple_alarm component is shown by PushBullet on the Moto360. -

- - -

Read on to learn how to enable the notify component and integrate it with other components.

The ISY_ADDRESS should be in full URL format. For example: +http://192.168.10.100:80

+ +

The ISY_USERNAME and ISY_PASSWORD are the configured username and password used +to access the ISY interface.

+ +

The SENSOR_STRING is a string that is used to identify which devices are to be +assumed to be sensors instead of lights of switches. By default, this string is +‘Sensor’. If this string is found in the device name, Home Assistant will +assume it is as a sensor.

+ +

The HIDDEN_STRING is a string that is used to identify which devices are to be +hidden on Home Assistant’s front page. This string will be stripped from the +device’s name before being used. By default, this value is ‘{HIDE ME}’.

+ +

Once the ISY controller is configured, it will automatically import any lights, +switches, and sensors it can locate.

+ +

Creating Custom Switches

+ +

Using the Programs tab in the controller’s Administrative Console, custom +switches can be created that will appear natively inside of Home Assistant. +Home Assistant will scan two different directories for switch configurations on +the controller. These directories must exist at the root level. The two +directories used to make switches are HA.doors and HA.switches. Currently, +the two receive identical treatment in Home Assistant.

+ +

A switch is created by creating a directory under either of these root +dirctories with the name you would like to call the switch. Two programs are +then required in this directory: status and actions. The image below shows +a sample configuration. This sample includes an extra program called auto on. +This is ignored by Home Assistant.

+ +

+ +

+ + +

The status program in this directory is what indicates if the switch is on or +off. Only the IF clause is evaluated. If the clause returns True, the switch +will be on. False will indicate the switch is off.

+ +

+ +

+ + +

The actions program indicates what should be performed to turn the switch on +or off. The THEN clause gives instructions for turning the switch on while the +ELSE clause gives instructions for turning the switch off. Below is an example.

+ +

+ +

+ + +

The example program above shows how to control a legacy X10 device from Home +Assistant using an ISY controller.

+ +

Creating Custom Sensors

+ +

Custom sensors can also be created using the Programs tab in the ISY +controller’s Administrative Console. For programs, three different root level +folders are evaluated that are all handled a little differently inside of Home +Assistant.

+ +
    +
  • HA.sensors will have states of Open or Closed
    • +
  • HA.states will have states of On or Off
    • +
  • HA.locations will have states of Home or Away
    • +
+ + +

To create a custom sensor, create a program under any of the three root +directories. The name of the program will be the name of the sensor. An example +below shows a location indicator setup.

+ +

+ +

+ + +

The program created only needs an IF clause. It will be evaluated to either +Open/On/Home when it returns True and Closed/Off/Away when it returns False. An +example is below.

Creating Entities

+ +

Home Assistant will call a function with the following signature to initialize +your new platform. This function must exist in the platform module you create.

+ +
1
+
def setup_platform(hass, config, add_devices, discovery_info=None)
+
+ + +

In this function, your platform should create the appropriate entities and +register them with the Home Assistant core. Entities are Home Assistant’s +representation of lights, switches, sensors, etc. It is best practice for all +new entities to inherit the +Entity Abstract Class. +This abstract class contains logic for integrating most standard features into +your entities, such as visibility, entity IDs, updates, and many more. That is +why it is best practice to reference the existing class.

+ +

A list of entities can be registered with Home Assitant using the add_devices +function that is provided as an input to setup_platform. Once entities are +registered with with Home Assistant their updates will be provided to the core +and the core will have control over them. For more information on how Entites +can be customized, take a look at the Entity Abstract +Class.
