  • Bulb (102)
  • LED strip (105)
  • Switch CH v2 (106)
  • Switch EU (107)
  • Switch Zero (120)

Two sensors are available for switches:

  • Energy consumption

Configuration

To add the myStrom 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:

Check if you are able to access the light located at IP_ADRRESS. The details about your light is provided as a JSON response.

$ curl http://[IP_ADDRESS]/api/v1/device/[MAC_ADDRESS]

  "MAC_ADDRESS": {
    "type": "rgblamp",
    "battery": false,
    "reachable": true,
    "meshroot": false,
    "on": true,
    "color": "0;0;100",
    "mode": "hsv",
    "ramp": 409,
    "power": 5.1,
    "fw_version": "2.25"
  }
}

Binary sensor

The mystrom binary sensor platform allows you to use myStrom Wifi Buttons with Home Assistant. The myStrom Wifi Buttons support three and the myStrom WiFi Button + four different push pattern:

  • single: Short push (approx. 1/2 seconds)
  • double: 2x sequential short pushes (within 2 seconds)
  • long: Long push (approx. 2 seconds)
  • touch: Touch of the button’s surface (only affective for WiFi Button +)

The first usage of the pattern will create the binary sensor for the pattern. If the WiFi Button is pushed one time then a binary sensor for the single pattern will be created. The same applies for the other patterns. With the second usage of the pattern the binary sensors become fully functional.

The buttons will give you feedback with its built-in LED:

  • white then green: Pattern was submitted successfully
  • white then red: There is a problem with the communication

To use your myStrom WiFi Button in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yamlThe configuration.yaml file is the main configuration file for Home Assistant.

Important

The firmware version 2.56 doesn’t support TLS/SSL. This means that you are only able to use the WiFi Buttons if you are using plain-text communication between Home Assistant and the clients/entities.
