An alternative to the default Schluter integration in Homeassistant

About

This is a work in progress alternative to the default Schluter integration in Homeassistant and is currently in alpha stage. In comparison to the standard integration is using the Integration Setup and is written using the async Pyton libraries.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Use Home Assistant v2022.6.0 or above.
• You need at least one configured Schluter®-DITRA-HEAT-E-WiFi Thermostat in your home. During the configuration of your Thermostat you will create a username and password at https://ditra-heat-e-wifi.schluter.com/. This user and password need to be provided during the configuration in the Integration Setup step.
• The integration will install into the custom_components folder.

HACS Installation

This integration overwrites the standard Schluter integration and is therefore not accepted into the default HACS repository. To use the integration with HACS you have to add this repository. Under HACS select Integrations in the overfolw menu (three dots in the upper right corner) select Custom repositories paste the URL, https://github.com/IngoS11/ha-schluter, into the repository field and select Integration as the Category.

Manual Installation

1. Open the directory with your Home Assistant configuration (where you find configuration.yaml, usually ~/.homeassistant/).
2. If you do not have a custom_components directory there, you need to create it.

Git clone method

This is a preferred method of manual installation, because it allows you to keep the git functionality, allowing you to manually install updates just by running git pull origin main from the created directory.

Now you can clone the repository somewhere else and symlink it to Home Assistant like so:

1. Clone the repo.

git clone https://github.com/ingos11/ha-schluter.git schluter

2. Create the symlink to schluter in the configuration directory. If you have non standard directory for configuration, use it instead.

ln -s ha-schluter/custom_components/schluter ~/.homeassistant/custom_components/schluter

Copy method

1. Download ZIP with the code.
2. Unpack it.
3. Copy the custom_components/schluter/ from the unpacked archive to custom_components in your Home Assistant configuration directory.

Integration Setup

• Browse to your Home Assistant instance.
• In the sidebar click on Configuration.
• From the configuration menu select: Integrations.
• In the bottom right, click on the Add Integration button.
• From the list, search and select “Schluter”.
• Follow the instruction on screen to complete the set up.
• After completing, the Schluter integration will be immediately available for use.
