pilight config

[jenswet]

Hello,

thanks for providing a pilight addon! Installation worked without any problems.

But I don't get how to change the pilight config. I can see only the option to change the gpio platform. Where can I add devices?

Would be great if you can help me.

Sadly, there is no way to achieve this ATM with this addon.

So what is the addon good for if we can't change it?

[pschmitt]

It is meant to integrate with Home Assistant. You don't need any kind of config for pilight in order to achieve that.

pilight:
  host: hassio.local
  port: 5000

switch:
  - platform: pilight
    switches:
      my_switch:
        on_code:
          protocol: pollin
          systemcode: 2
          unitcode: 2
          'on': 1
        off_code:
          protocol: pollin
          systemcode: 2
          unitcode: 2
          'off': 1

What are you trying to do?

I am trying to switch from pilight only to pilight with Home Assistant.
So pilight automatically uses all devices I specify in Home Assistant? I just write my existing pilight config in the Home Assistant config for switches like your example above and pilight will use it?

[pschmitt]

Yep. Setting up your devices in pilight's config is only good for the presentation layer ie. pilight's own web UI.

The web UI is replaced with the Home Assistant web UI, so thats fine. Thanks, now I understand it!
