Hi All,  

I decided to take the great work done by @koochyrat and others and update the scripts to integrate a bit more with Home Assistant.
https://github.com/djagerif/comfort2mqtt 

A quick disclaimer: I am not a programmer, I tinker a lot, so please don't be too critical of this HA Addon. I do have a day job so time, and skill, to figure things out and trying to make it work is limited.
Feel free to test and comment and if there is something that is broken, and I am able to fix it, then I will give it my best shot.
Development was done on an old CM9000-ULT with a Cbus integration. Anything else is a best-effort bonus that I can't test or develop for.
The documentation is extensive, I tried to put EVERYTHING in there so if you don't understand something, please read the docs again, it should be in there somewhere.
You will need to configure your own flags, sensors, counters, zones etc. I only programmed a few system objects as a start.
Ingo

Thanks Chiu. Unfortunately my images are not hosted anywhere as they are local to my PC so can't be posted by a quick paste. I will add them as files.

Looks interesting.

I have gone UcmPi (in NodeRed) to MQTT (home assistant) and SHAC to MQTT (home assistant) with two way control.

Hi @Ingo Great piece of work! I have Just loaded this on my system and it works great I get only one error pop up have copied below I dont think it is my config but may be.  I have been using the Koochyrat implementation on a seperate server fom HA for many years and have always wanted to fully integrate with HA but did not have the abilities you do!  Was looking at the @posixx version yesterday and fell foul of the paho-mqtt v2.0.0 incompatibility issues.  By chance saw your work and reconfiguered my MQTT sensors and all is good.  THANK YOU!!Rgds Clive

Hi Clive.
I think it is receiving some output of "S?" that is not expected. Please send me the output of the S? command and also what model and firmware you are using. Set the logging to debug as this will log all command values, especially the ones just before it throws an exception.
The documentation states only 00 - 03 as return values.

Ingo

Yes, this is the culprit, I'll have to investigate this as it's undocumented.

2024-10-23 00:08:32 DEBUG S?13

I do however notice that you are running a firmware version that is quite old and not tested. I suggest upgrading the firmware to either the latest, or to at least one that has been tested against this Add-on. The minimum is 7.201 if I remember correctly but I personally run the latest 8.013 released earlier this week.

Hi Ingo, All fixed it needed a firmware upgrade. I saw it was throwing a 13 out in response to the S? and I think looking at the version updates there is mention of an extra byte being sent by the S? query.  Upgraded to latest on Comfort and UCM and all works fine, thanks again for this really great add-on and exemplary documentation.  Rgds Clive

Hi Ingo, I have been testing this on a Rpi5 after installing Home assistant 13.2.

I am not getting the correct status, it is always unavailable

In your instructions we need to configure the MQTT broker add on, as below,
But  cannot see these parameters in MQTT Broker add on or in Devices and services > Integrations. How can I get the these settings?

Option: Comfort TCP Port (Optional) The Comfort UCM/Eth03 TCP port used for connectivity. UCM/ETh03 can be changed so please check your Comfort configuration and use the port that is configured for access. Note that only one client can connect to any given TCP port. The default is '1002'

Option: Comfort system IP address The Comfort UCM/Eth03 IP address or Hostname used for connectivity.

Option: Comfort User Login ID Cytech Comfort User Login ID with the appropriate rights. Login ID has minimum 4 and a maximum of 6 characters. For full functionality you need at least Local Arm/Disarm and Remote Arm/Disarm capabilities on Comfort. See the Comfigurator Programming Guide, Security Settings and Sign-in Codes sections for more information on user creation and rights.

Option: Comfort Configuration file (Optional) Comfort Configuration file, also referred to as the 'CCLX' file to be used for object enrichment EG. Zone Names etc. Place this file in the Home Assistant  _configs/<comfort2mqtt slug> folder.

To upload a file to the _configs directory you could use something like Samba share Add-on or similar allowing filesystem access to selected directories on Home Assistant.



Note These settings are in the Comfort to MQTT add on configuration

No, it will only be 'Unavailable' when you lose connection to Comfort.

Set your Addon logging to DEBUG and restart the Addon to see if it lists any obvious issues.

I finally decided to start all over again, and reinstalled Home Assiistant, your add on and MQTT and the configuration.yaml again. Finally got it working, thanks.

A question/observation:

When you arm from the keypad, you can use the user code in Comfort 

But when you disarm, the Comfort user code is not accepted. You have to use the code in Option: Comfort User Login ID - this code can arm and disarm comfort

The cclx file is supposed to be uploaded to _configs/<comfort2mqtt slug> folder. There is no _configs folder. Is it the main homeassistant folder?
There is also a /addon_configs folder with subdirectory comfort2mqtt/

Thanks for that. I see my documentation somehow did not copy the "addon" portion of "_configs" I will update that for the next release to reflect "addon_configs".

I did that. The comfort cclx file seems to be mainly used in the logs
