HomematicIP Cloud

There is an active alert for this integration!

The HomematicIP integration platform is used as an interface to the cloud server. Since there is no official documentation about this API, everything was done via reverse engineering. Use at your own risk.

There is currently support for the following device types within Home Assistant:

Alarm
Binary sensor
Button
Climate
Cover
Light
Lock
Sensor
Switch
Weather

Configuration

To add the HomematicIP Cloud integration to your Home Assistant instance, use this My button:

Manual configuration steps

If the above My button doesn’t work, you can also perform the following steps manually:

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 HomematicIP Cloud.
Follow the instructions on screen to complete the setup.

Manual configuration

Generate the authentication token:

hmip_generate_auth_token.py

Add the information to your configuration.yamlThe configuration.yaml file is the main configuration file for Home Assistant. It lists the integrations to be loaded and their specific configurations. In some cases, the configuration needs to be edited manually directly in the configuration.yaml file. Most integrations can be configured in the UI. [Learn more] file:

homematicip_cloud:
  - accesspoint: IDENTIFIER
    authtoken: AUTHTOKEN
  - name: Location2
    accesspoint: IDENTIFIER2
    authtoken: AUTHTOKEN2

Configuration Variables

Looking for your configuration file?

name string (Optional)

Name to identify your access point, this will be used to prefix your device names.

accesspoint string Required

This is the access point ID (SGTIN).

authtoken string Required

Authentication token generated with generate_auth_token.py.

Adding and removing devices and group via native HomematicIP APP

Devices and groups are instantly removed from Home Assistant when removed in the native HomematicIP APP. Groups are instantly created in Home Assistant when created in the native HomematicIP APP. Devices are created with a delay of 30 seconds in Home Assistant when created in the native HomematicIP APP. Within this delay the device registration should be completed in the App, otherwise the device name will be a default one based on the device type. This can easily be fixed in the Home Assistant entity registry afterwards.

What to do, if a device is missing in Home Assistant

In order for a device to be integrated into Home Assistant, it must first be implemented in the upstream library. A dump of your configuration is required for this, which is then attached to a new issue in the upstream lib’s GitHub repository.

Create a dump of your access point configuration in Home Assistant: Developer Tools -> Actions -> Select homematicip_cloud.dump_hap_config -> Execute. The default dump is anonymized and is written to your configuration directory (hmip_config_XXXX.json).
Create a new issue at this GitHub repository and attach the created dump file.

Please be patient, wait for the implementation and a new release of the upstream library. Afterward, this device can be implemented into Home Assistant.
