This integration is deprecated as I'm no longer using the digitalSTROM home control system. Feel free to contact me if you'd like to take over.
Home Assistant is an open source home automation and control system.
digitalSTROM is a smart home control solution developed by the Swiss digitalSTROM AG
This integration makes digitalSTROM lights, covers, switches and scenes available in Home Assistant.
It supports config flows (and would support SSDP discovery if it was available to custom components) so that you can easily add your digitalSTROM server from the Home Assistant frontend (Configuration -> Integrations).
However it does not support YAML config setup (anymore). The future is the frontend!
Please read info.md carefully to understand how this integration works with digitalSTROM features and why devices cannot be controlled directly.
The easiest way to install the integration is by using Home Assistant Community Store HACS. For now, you have to add the repository yourself - chose type "Integration".
Yes. Based on the nature of how digitalSTROM servers communicate with single devices, a digitalSTROM installation can easily be overwhelmed with too many commands. It is therefore recommended to not issue more than 2-3 commands per second. This integration takes care of that by handling one command after the other. The default delay is 500ms but can be changed when setting up the integration.
