Control4 integration for Home Assistant

homeassistant-control4

Warning

This integration is no longer maintained and is likely broken on newer versions of Home Assistant.

Consider migrating to https://github.com/lawtancool/hass-control4, which is faster, supports the latest Home Assistant releases, and does not require a custom driver to be installed on the Control4 system.

These custom components for Home Assistant (https://www.home-assistant.io) allow you to integrate Control4 systems into Home Assistant. Currently, lights, thermostats, alarm systems, and media room volume control are supported.

How to use:

• Install the Web2Way driver into your Control4 project using Composer Pro (2.9+ recommended): https://github.com/itsfrosty/control4-2way-web-driver (You may need your dealer to do this if you don't have access to the Control4 Composer Pro program)
• Copy the custom_components into your ~/.homeassistant/ folder
• Find the proxy_id of each Control4 device you want to integrate inside Composer Pro, and include them in your configuration.yaml
• NOTE: If you have a lot of Control4 devices and you are experiencing large delays in executing actions, try randomizing your scan_interval, setting different devices to slightly different values; this should help prevent Home Assistant from overwhelming the Control4 controller with refresh requests. However, don't set this value too high, otherwise Control4 state changes will take a long time to be reflected inside Home Assistant.

Sample Home Assistant configuration.yaml entries:

base_url: The IP address of your Control4 controller + ":9000". (You should assign a static IP to your controller on your router)
proxy_id: The proxy ID of the Control4 device, found inside Composer Pro by hovering over the device in the project tree view.
name: The name that Home Assistant will use to identify the device.
scan_interval: How often to query the Control4 controller about the state of the device, in seconds.

Lights:

light:
  - platform: control4
    base_url: 'http://192.168.1.20:9000/'
    proxy_id: 14
    name: Piano Room
    scan_interval: 10

Thermostats:

climate:
  - platform: control4
    base_url: 'http://192.168.1.20:9000/'
    proxy_id: 220
    name: Downstairs
    scan_interval: 20

Alarm System:

alarm_control_panel:
  - platform: control4
    base_url: 'http://192.168.1.20:9000'
    proxy_id: 70
    name: DSC Alarm
    scan_interval: 10

Media volume control: (The proxy_id needs to be the ID of the room inside Composer Pro)

media_player:
  - platform: control4
    base_url: 'http://192.168.1.20:9000'
    proxy_id: 8
    name: Kitchen Speakers
    scan_interval: 10

homeassistant-control4's Issues

Brightness bar doesn't show up

HA Core 0.107.6, latest pull of the homeassistant-control4 component. EA-3 running 3.1.2, C4-KD120 exposed. On/off switch works but I get no brightness bar.

Configuration snippet:

• platform: control4
  base_url: 'http://10.1.10.40:9000/'
  proxy_id: 234
  name: Chandelier HTTP
  scan_interval: 10

Integration error: c4 - Integration 'c4' not found.

I'm a bit of a noob - to home assistant and this type of coding in general - but whenver I add my code I get this error.

Please note my code:
c4:
base_url: 192.168.0.6
proxy_id: 720
name: Downlights
scan_interval: 10

Please clarify

I am not sure, where should I copy the files (files or folder?) from custom_components.
What path is it looking for?

Failed to call service homeassistant/restart. The system cannot restart because the configuration is not valid: Platform error climate.control4 - No module named 'homeassistant.components.control4.climate'

Help!!! Since Hassio update 0.118.0 Control 4 integration is broken

Sir,

I have been using your implementation for last one year. Since 0.118.0 update last night my control 4 integration is broken with below error for lights, climate and alarm. Please help.
