LaMetric

LaMetric TIME is a smart clock that can be used to access applications, listen to web radio and display notifications.

Configuration

To add the LaMetric device to your Home Assistant instance, use this My button:

LaMetric can be auto-discovered by Home Assistant. If an instance was found, it will be shown as Discovered. You can then set it up right away.

Manual configuration steps

If it wasn’t discovered automatically, don’t worry! You can set up a manual integration entry:

  • Browse to your Home Assistant instance.

  • Go to Settings > Devices & Services.

  • In the bottom right corner, select the Add Integration button.

  • From the list, select LaMetric.

  • Follow the instructions on screen to complete the setup.

Manual automatic import configuration

If you prefer not to use the Home Assistant account linking service, you can set up the LaMetric application manually.

However, please note! At this point, it is easier to choose the “Enter manually” option during the integration setup; this also avoids the use of the account linking service and doesn’t need all the steps below either.

If you still want to set up your own LaMetric application for importing your LaMetric devices, use the following steps:

  1. Log in with your LaMetric device account to developer.lametric.com.
  2. Click the Create button and choose Notification app.
  3. Fill in the form. You can put almost anything in the fields, they just need to be populated:
  • App Name: Home Assistant
  • Description: Home Assistant
  • Redirect URI: https://my.home-assistant.io/redirect/oauth
  • Privacy Policy: http://localhost/
  • Check the “basic” and “read_devices” permission boxes
  • Click Save
  1. You should be directed to your Notification Apps list, click on “Home Assistant”, copy your client ID and Client Secret.

You may then add the credentials to Application Credentials and then setup the integration.

I have manually disabled My Home Assistant

If you don’t have My Home Assistant on your installation, you can use <HOME_ASSISTANT_URL>/auth/external/callback as the redirect URI instead.

The <HOME_ASSISTANT_URL> must be the same as used during the configuration/ authentication process.

Internal examples: http://192.168.0.2:8123/auth/external/callback, http://homeassistant.local:8123/auth/external/callback.”
