Niko Home Control II Home Assistant Integration

License: MIT

This custom component will allow you to integrate you Niko Connected Controller II in Home Assistant. You can use a touchscreen profile or the Hobby API account.

This integration communicates directly with the controller. You only need internet when activating/renewing the Hobby API. If you use a touch screen profile, this isn't even needed.

Acknowledgements

This custom component is a spin-off of the hard and excellent work by @filipvh. Thanks!

What works now?

• Switches (relais)
• Sockets
• Thermostats
• Fans
• Energy Meters

Service

Set brightness for light

The integration exposes a service to set the brightness of a light. This can be used to set the brightness without turning the lights on. For instance if you want your lights to have a certain brightness at night.

See Developer Tools → Services → Niko Home Control II: Set brightness for light.

How to get it running

Note: Make sure you have a recent version of Home Assistant!

1. Install this custom component
2. Go to Configuration > Integrations
3. Add an integration, search for Niko Home Control II, and click on it
4. Follow the wizard

Adding an Energy Meter?

This currently requires some manual action in your configuration.yaml.

You need to add (and possibly tweak) the following:

sensor:
    - platform: integration
        source: sensor.elektriciteitsmeting
        name: energy_elektriciteit
        unit_prefix: k
        round: 3
        method: left

utility_meter:
    energy_daily:
        source: sensor.energy_elektriciteit
        cycle: daily
    energy_monthly:
        source: sensor.energy_elektriciteit
        cycle: monthly
