ZiGate component for Home Assistant

---

⚠️ Since Home Assistant 0.118 this integration is deprecated !

I recommand ZHA integration instead with ZiGate firmware 3.1d

A new component to use the ZiGate (http://zigate.fr)

Currently it supports sensor, binary_sensor and switch, light, cover and climate

To install:

• if not exists, create folder 'custom_components' under your home assitant directory (beside configuration.yaml)
• copy all the files in your hass folder, under 'custom_components' like that :

custom_components/
└── zigate
    ├── __init__.py
    ├── services.yaml
    ├── switch.py
    ├── sensor.py
    ├── light.py
    ├── binary_sensor.py
    ├── cover.py
    └── climate.py

• restart your Home Assistant, so that it installs requirements
• adapt your configuration.yaml

To pair a new device, go in developer/services and call the 'zigate.permit_join' service. You have 30 seconds to pair your device.

Configuration example :

# Enable ZiGate (port will be auto-discovered)
zigate:

or

# Enable ZiGate
zigate:
  port: /dev/ttyUSB0
  channel: 24
  enable_led : false

or if you want to use Wifi ZiGate (or usb zigate forwarded with ser2net for example) Port is optional, default is 9999

# Enable ZiGate Wifi
zigate:
  host: 192.168.0.10:9999

If you want to use PiZiGate, just add gpio: true. Other options are still available (channel, etc)

# Enable PiZiGate
zigate:
  gpio: true
  port: /dev/ttyAMA0
  # Regarding the raspberry
  #port: /dev/serial0

If you're using Rpi3, you can have some trouble trying to use PiZiGate. If needed, add the following line into config.txt (If you're using Hass.io you have to access that on the SD card directly. Simply plug it into your PC and edit it there. The config.txt is not accessible from your Hass.io system, you may need to open the SD card on a Windows or Linux system.):

dtoverlay=pi3-miniuart-bt
enable_uart=1

Polling

By default, the component will poll the state of any device available on idle (light, relay, etc) every 120sec

To disable polling, add polling: false in config

You can adjust the polling by setting scan_interval in config (default to 120)

Upgrade firmware

You could upgrade the zigate firmware to the latest available release by calling zigate.upgrade_firmware.

• If you're using PiZigate or ZiGate DIN the process is fully automatic
• If you're using USB TTL ZiGate you have to put zigate in download mode first
• Always call zigate.stop_zigate before unplugging the USB ZiGate

Admin Panel

ZiGate lib has now an embedded admin panel, to enable it, add admin_panel: true in config. To access the admin you need to open another browser to addresse http://[ip_address]:9998 Integration of the admin panel in HA has been disabled because of security issue

zigate:
  admin_panel: true

Package

Additionnally you could add the zigate package to have a new tab with all zigate devices and a "permit join" switch.

To install, just copy the "packages" folder in your hass config folder and if needed add the following in your configuration.yaml

homeassistant:
  packages: !include_dir_named packages

How enable debug log

logger:
  default: error
  logs:
    zigate: debug
    custom_components.zigate: debug

Alternatively you could call the service logger.set_level with data {"custom_components.zigate": "debug", "zigate": "debug"}

How to adjust device parameter

Some devices have the ability to change some parameters, for example on the Xiaomi vibration sensor you can adujst the sensibility. You'll be able to do that using the service write_attribute with parameters : { "addr": "8c37", "endpoint":"1", "cluster":"0", "attribute_id":"0xFF0D", "manufacturer_code":"0x115F", "attribute_type":"0x20", "value":"0x01" }

In this example, the value is the sensiblity, it could be 0x01 for "high sens", 0x0B for "medium" and 0x15 for "low"

Battery level

I recommand the following package to create a nice battery tab with alerts ! battery_alert.yaml
