Description

Hey guys,

I am trying to setup my diyHue. It is integrated in my Home Assistant. I want to have my lights in my Home Assistant/mqtt so I tried the diyHue Home Assistant synchronization feature. And I got it working. But it is working a little bit too well. In addition, to the lights, it will also import Home Assistant switches(Smart plugs or even my virtual wake up on lan Switch for my Synology). Something is not working the way it should be.
The system will throw error code 500 because it will have problems connecting to those switches. I can solve it my manually removing those switches. But I don´t want to do this every time I need to add a new device to diyHue.

Hi, you want the lights from diyhue in HA or do you want the lights from HA in diyhue?

I want the lights from HA in diyhue. Ha->diyhue

If you do this by using HA in the addon page of the webui of diyhue only the lights are added, if you do this with mqtt everything is added, from what I hear from other users is that you can setup mqtt to only expose lights, but i dont have mqtt so i can not help you with that.

But I use the HA integration in the addon page of the webui of diyhue. The ZigBee2MQTT config in the addon page of the webui of diyhue is disabled.

Can you send me the config_debug.tar from the webui>diyhue>bridge>bridge control>download debug>full debug.

For me it is easier to set "include by default" to false and to define on each entity in ha if this should be included.

Also the integration of switches was added shortly on request ...maybe even by my PR.

[hendriksen-mark]

the switches are added as smart plugs.

'1':
  id_v2: 635da972-d6d2-40bb-a662-3d13016038b3
  name: STOERCHESERVER
  modelid: LOM001
  uniqueid: 00:17:88:01:00:c8:40:26-0b
  function: mixed
  state:
    'on': true
    alert: select
    mode: homeautomation
    reachable: true
  config:
    archetype: plug
    function: functional
    direction: omnidirectional
    startup:
      mode: safety
      configured: true
  protocol: homeassistant_ws
  protocol_cfg:
    entity_id: switch.stoercheserver
    ip: none

the important part is modelid: LOM001 and archetype: plug

i think i can make some changes but we are in the middle of changing some big stuff so this have to wait a bit.
@Paalap in the homeassistant discover code of diyhue there is noting related to switches.

How do I define those?

On the ha config page, additionally you need an attribute on entities to be included diyhue: true

edit: it should be diyhue: include

[hendriksen-mark]

@Paalap that is in the change light the switches are still added as lights/plugs
