Project Description

I'll integrate my existing smart devices at home to Home Assistant server that I set up a while ago.

Goal for this Hackweek

  1. Getting started with Home Assistant and understand the main concepts of it.
  2. Set up XiaomiGateway3 to controll Xiaomi smart devices locally using Xiaomi Multimode Gateway 2. Internet connection was needed previously and data update wasn't instant because of polling interval.
  3. Add several device support in XiaomiGateway3. Currently not(fully) supported devices at home are Panasonic celing light, Xiaomi motion sensor 2s, etc.
  4. Update my custom dashboard to use new entities.

Goals maybe for next Hackweek

  • Integrate Zhonghong gateway to Home Assistant to controller air conditioners locally.
  • Integrate ventilation system to Home Assistant using RS485.
