ESPHome - Livolo switch integration

ESPHome + Livolo switch integration

Integrates ESPHome with 2-way (1-gang or 2-gang) Livolo switches via the COM line by simulating being another Livolo switch. Wiring diagram available upon request.

Pre-reqs and base skeleton

apt install virtualenvwrapper
mkvirtualenv -p /usr/bin/python2.7 esphome
workon esphome
pip install esphome
pip install --upgrade voluptuous==0.11.5

Base skeleton was created with:

esphome livolo.yaml wizard

Compile

The export is important before any other compile relate command, otherwise the compiler fails with internal error.

export LC_ALL=C
esphome livolo.yaml compile

Run and serial debug

esphome livolo.yaml run

esphome-livolo's Issues

Wiring diagram, project status and hardware recommendations

Hey!

I own several Livolo 2-gang Zigbee-enabled switches and because of connectivity issues (devices not being able to rejoin a Zigbee2MQTT-based network without ugly workarounds in place) I started looking into alternative ways of integrating them in Home Assistant.

One of the ideas I had was pretty much what you did in this project – a microcontroller emulating a Livolo switch in a 2-way configuration. Another one was getting a bunch of additional Livolo switches (one per each 2-way circuit) and using a microcontroller to communicate with them using the touch panel connector headers (reading and writing states should be pretty straightforward).

Would you have that wiring diagram you mentioned in the README file?

Also, would you say your approach is a stable / viable solution? Did you experience any desync problems or ignored state change requests?

And finally, would you recommend a different approach now that this project is 3+ years old? Or perhaps did you stumble upon better touch wall switches with full remote control capabilities?
