ICS-2000 Home Assistant integration

This integration shows how you can use an ICS-2000 in Home Assistant.

Installation

light:                                      
  - platform: ics2000
    mac: MAC_HERE
    email: EMAIL_HERE
    password: PASSWORD_HERE_OR_secrets.yaml
    tries: 3  # Optional, defaults to 3
    sleep: 2  # Optional, defaults to 3
  • Restart Home Assistant

You may also add tries and sleep to the config. The ICS-2000/KAKU has no way of knowing what the current state of a connected device is and sometimes the command does not seem to reach the device. If you do not experience any failures, set tries to 1. Between tries, sleep seconds will be paused.

With default settings, the command will be sent 3 times with a 3 seconds sleep in between, leading to a 6 second runtime for the command: click - pause - click - pause - click.

Note that the actual sending of the command is done in a separate 'non-UI thread' and for that reason a check is done if a device has a thread running at that time.

Restart Home Assistant and add a 'Light' card to your dashboard using one of the 'light' entities.

Troubleshooting

When you receive an error the first time you'd like to add a 'Light' card, it may be helpful to add or test with a 'Button' card for the entity first and then add a 'light' card. It seems to trigger integration to be recognized as producing light entities.

Notes on testing on macOS

When installing dependencies on macOS it may be necessary (depending on your setup) to add some values to the environment (needs Homebrew):

brew install openssl@1.1
  
CPATH=/usr/local/Cellar/openssl\@1.1/1.1.1s/include/ \
  LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/openssl\@1.1/1.1.1s/lib/ \
  pip install --upgrade -r dev_requirements.txt
