Wiser Home Controller MKII & Home-Assistant

Hello,

I just bought a home that has Clipsal C-Bus2 relays for the lighting and garden reticulation. There is a Wiser2 box and I can control the lighting with the Wiser2 app.

I'm keen to integrate the lighting and reticulation devices in to Home-Assistant.

I have a spare raspberry pi to use if it needs it.

Could someone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

 

yup, plenty of us have already. have a read here:

From what I can make of this I need to get a Raspberry Pi to run CGate and an MQTT (mosquito mqtt server) and I should be able to communicate between Home-Assistant and the CBus relays.

Is that right?

 

Yep that is pretty much it. You will need to configure your home assistant YAML file for lights with each C-Bus address

Code:

 
  - platform: mqtt
    name: Front Exterior
    command_topic: "cbus/write/254/56/0/switch"
    state_topic: "cbus/read/254/56/0/state"
    payload_on: "ON"
    payload_off: "OFF"

  - platform: mqtt
    name: Portico
    command_topic: "cbus/write/254/56/1/switch"
    state_topic: "cbus/read/254/56/1/state"
    payload_on: "ON"
    payload_off: "OFF"
   
  - platform: mqtt
    name: Garage
    command_topic: "cbus/write/254/56/2/switch"
    state_topic: "cbus/read/254/56/2/state"
    payload_on: "ON"
    payload_off: "OFF"

Dimming is a bit more fun with brightness state topic and command topics also.

 

Has anyone setup cgate on a docker container?
