Z-Wave devices of the following types should create entities in Home Assistant:

• Z-Wave Barrier Operator (as Home Assistant cover)
• Z-Wave Battery (as Home Assistant sensor)
• Z-Wave Door Lock (as Home Assistant lock)
• Z-Wave Sensor Binary (as Home Assistant binary sensor)
• Z-Wave Switch (as Home Assistant switch)
• Z-Wave Switch Binary (as Home Assistant switch)
• Z-Wave Switch Multilevel (as Home Assistant light)
• Z-Wave Central Scene (as Home Assistant event - see below)

HomeSeer Events will be created as Home Assistant scenes (triggering the scene in Home Assistant will run the HomeSeer event).

HomeSeer devices of the type "Z-Wave Central Scene" will not create an entity in Home Assistant; instead, when a Central Scene device is updated in HomeSeer, this component will fire an event on the Home Assistant event bus which can be used in Automations.

event_type: homeseer_event
event_data:

• id: Device Ref of the Central Scene device in HomeSeer.
• event: Numeric value of the Central Scene device in HomeSeer for a given event.

0. Enable the ASCII connection in HomeSeer (required to receive device updates in Home Assistant).
1. Create the directory custom_components inside your Home Assistant config directory.
2. cd into the custom_components directory and do git clone https://github.com/marthoc/homeseer.
3. Add the below config to your configuration.yaml and restart Home Assistant.
4. Problems with certain devices (i.e. not supported yet) will be reported in the debug logs for the component/pyHS3.

0. Stop Home Assistant
1. cd into the custom_components/homeseer directory and do git pull.
2. Start Home Assistant

homeseer:
  host:  192.168.1.10
  http_port: 80
  ascii_port: 11000
  username: default
  password: default
  location_names: False
  allow_events: True

By default entities will be named only the name of the device in HomeSeer. If you want the location2 + location fields to be appended to the name, set location_names to True.

Example:

• HomeSeer location2 "Main Floor"
• HomeSeer location "Living Room"
• HomeSeer device name "Lamp"

Result:

• location_names = False: Home Assistant entity will be called "Lamp"
• location_names = True: Home Assistant entity will be called "Main Floor Living Room Lamp"
