Homematic XMLRPC/CCU3 does not show Devices

[mo22]

Hi,

I have a fresh install of home assistant on a raspberry, version 0.109.0.dev0.

I've added the suggested configuration for Homematic (a CCU3):

homematic:
  interfaces:
    rf:
      host: 192.168.1.136
      username: Admin
      password: test1234
    wired:
      host: 192.168.1.136
      port: 2000
      username: Admin
      password: test1234
    ip:
      host: 192.168.1.136
      port: 2010
      username: Admin
      password: test1234
    groups:
      host: 192.168.1.136
      port: 9292
      username: Admin
      password: test1234
      path: /groups
  hosts:
    ccu3:
      host: 192.168.1.136
      port: 2001
      username: Admin
      password: test1234

I would expect to see Homematic under integrations in the web interface (http://homeassistant:8123/config/integrations/dashboard) or under devices, but all I see is some of the Homematic devices under entities.

There are some Homematic-legacy and some homematic-IP entities in no particular scheme, i.e. a one blind actuator shows up, the other does not, both working fine in Homematic.

I've enabled debug logging and found no error messages.

Is Homematic expected to turn up unter integrations?

Is it expected to be auto-discovered? (it needed manual configuration)

How can I get the devices to show up?

And if this is not my fault, shall I debug this and provide a pull request?

Thank you very much

Moritz

Hey there @pvizeli, @danielperna84, mind taking a look at this issue as its been labeled with a integration (homematic) you are listed as a codeowner for? Thanks!

[danielperna84]

Is Homematic expected to turn up unter integrations?

No, it's still an old integration. These don't show up there.

Is it expected to be auto-discovered? (it needed manual configuration)

No, again because it's an old integration that has not been upgraded in this regard

How can I get the devices to show up?

That depends on where you expect them to show up (devices that just are buttons - like remote controls) don't show up at all. They just fire events on the event bus. If other devices are missing that really should have an entity (like switches, lights, thermostats etc.), then maybe support for these devices has not been added yet. For that you have to tell us what types of devices you are having these problems with.

[danielperna84]

Closing the issue for now since I have clarified what should be visible and what not.
If support for your device is missing, the correct repository to raise an issue is here: https://github.com/danielperna84/pyhomematic

No, it's still an old integration. These don't show up there.

@danielperna84 Can you clarify what do you mean by old integration? I'm new to home assistant and i use it together with homematic. What's the difference between new and old integrations and what needs to be done to update homematic to be a new integration?

Is this also the reason that homematic ccu is not showing up in the integration ui of home assistant and that you have to configure it by yaml?

Thanks,
Chris

[danielperna84]

Old integrations are the ones that are configured via yaml. Not every integration can be configured via UI. Only the ones that get support for that implemented can be configured via UI.
Support for configuring via UI is being worked on. Until this happens, you have to do it manually via yaml. As there is no ETA on when the HomeMatic integration gets updated in this regard, please do it in yaml.

[chrste90]

Okay thanks.
Where can i see the progress regarding the update? I'm a software engineer and if there are some things i can do, i'm happy to help.

[danielperna84]

It's not being worked on publicly as far as I can tell. One of the core-devs is taking care of this.

[roessi]

like to here this, if somebody need a beta Tester i will do :-)
one question is it possible to get the entities combined to one device.
for example the water sensor have three entities but I can not see the device in the device list.

[danielperna84]

one question is it possible to get the entities combined to one device.

This will happen automatically once the new integration is done. Until then nothing will change in this regard.

[chrste90]

@danielperna84 Are there any new information regarding the migration to a new integration? Anything i can do to help?

[danielperna84]

@chrste90 I'm not the one working on it. You'll have to reach out to @pvizeli for more information. 👍
