ICS-2000 Home Assistant integration

This integration shows how you would integrate an ICS-2000 into Home Assistant.

Installation

Install the Python package that includes the classes to interact with the ICS-2000 in your Home Assistant installation:

pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/rdegraafwhizzkit/ics2000-python@master#egg=ics2000

or, if you are (further) developing the integration, install all of them:

pip install --upgrade -r dev_requirements.txt

Copy the custom_components/ics2000/ folder to <config_dir>/custom_components/ics2000/.

Add the following entry in your <config_dir>/configuration.yaml:

light:                                      
  - platform: ics2000                       
    mac: MAC_HERE                
    email: EMAIL_HERE     
    password: PASSWORD_HERE_OR_secrets.yaml
    tries: 3  # Optional, defaults to 3
    sleep: 2  # Optional, defaults to 3

You may also add tries and sleep to the config. The ICS-2000/KAKU has no way of knowing what the current state of a connected device is and sometimes the command does not seem to reach the device. If you do not experience any failures, set tries to 1. Between tries, sleep seconds will be paused.

With default settings, the command will be sent 3 times with a 3 seconds sleep in between, leading to a 6 second runtime for the command: click - pause - click - pause - click.

Note that the actual sending of the command is done in a separate 'non-UI thread' and for that reason a check is done if a device has a thread running at that time.

Restart Home Assistant and add a 'Light' card to your dashboard using one of the 'light' entities.

Notes on testing on macOS

When installing dependencies on macOS it may be necessary (depending on your setup) to add some values to the environment (needs Homebrew):

brew install openssl@1.1
  
CPATH=/usr/local/Cellar/openssl\@1.1/1.1.1s/include/ \
  LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/openssl\@1.1/1.1.1s/lib/ \
  pip install --upgrade -r dev_requirements.txt
