Home assistant Custom component for Pax Calima fan

This is offered AS IS. Feel free to fork. Developed and tested in HA version 0.108.9.

Installation

1. First install pycalima

#Get the latest to your work directory 
wget https://github.com/PatrickE94/pycalima/archive/master.zip
unzip master.zip
cd pycalima-master

#Install as python package
# cmdline.py is in wrong directory, move it
mv cmdline.py pycalima

Pycalima doesn't return Mode properly so fix this from Calima.py

    def getMode(self):
        v = unpack('<B', self._readUUID(CHARACTERISTIC_MODE))
        if v == 0:
            return "MultiMode"
        elif v == 1:
            return "DraftShutterMode"
        elif v == 2:
            return "WallSwitchExtendedRuntimeMode"
        elif v == 3:
            return "WallSwitchNoExtendedRuntimeMode"
        elif v == 4:
            return "HeatDistributionMode"

Replace with

    def getMode(self):
        v = unpack('<B', self._readUUID(CHARACTERISTIC_MODE))
        if v[0] == 0:
            return "MultiMode"
        elif v[0] == 1:
            return "DraftShutterMode"
        elif v[0] == 2:
            return "WallSwitchExtendedRuntimeMode"
        elif v[0] == 3:
            return "WallSwitchNoExtendedRuntimeMode"
        elif v[0] == 4:
            return "HeatDistributionMode"

And install package

pip3 install . 
# README.rst mentions run.py but this version does not have it. Check it from other forks

# now calima cmdline works
calima -h

1. Find out the MAC address and pin of your Pax Calima with calima -s. Pin code is in you fans motor unit.
2. Put init.py, sensor.py, manifest.json into /custom_components/paxcalima/ on your home assistant installation (where is the directory where your config file resides).
3. Add the following to your configuration.yaml (or modify your sensor heading, if you already have one):

sensor:
  - platform: paxcalima
    mac: 00:11:22:AA:BB:CC # replace with MAC of your Pax Calima 
    pin: 57854677 # Replace with you pin code
    name: Projector Room(optional)

Then restart Home Assistant and if everything works, you'll have some new sensors.
