LiteJet is a centralized lighting system that predates most home automation technology. All lights and wall switches are wired to a central panel. This central panel has a sierial port interface that allows a computer to control the system via LiteJet's third party protocol.
15+
16+
Home Assistant integrates the LiteJet 3rd party protocol and allows you to get the status and control the connected lights.
17+
18+
After connecting the LiteJet's RS232-2 port to your computer, add the following to your `configuration.yaml`:
19+
20+
```yaml
21+
litejet:
22+
url: /dev/serial/by-id/THE-PATH-OF-YOUR-SERIAL-PORT
23+
```
24+
25+
Your LiteJet MCP should be configured for 19.2 K baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and to transmit a 'CR' after each response. These settings can be configured using the [LiteJet programming software](https://www.centralite.com/helpdesk/knowledgebase.php?article=735).
26+
27+
You can also configure the Home Assistant to ignore lights, scenes, and switches via their name. This is highly recommended since LiteJet has a fixed number of each of these and with most systems many will be unused.
28+
29+
```yaml
30+
litejet:
31+
exclude_names:
32+
- 'Button #'
33+
- 'Scene #'
34+
- 'Timed Scene #'
35+
- 'Timed Scene#'
36+
- 'LV Rel #'
37+
- 'Fan #'
38+
```
39+
40+
Configuration variables:
41+
42+
- **url** (*Required*): The path to the serial port connected to the LiteJet.
43+
- **exclude_names** (*Optional*): A list of light or switch names that should be ignored.
44+
- **include_switches** (*Optional*): Cause entities to be created for all the LiteJet switches. Default is false. This can be useful when debugging your lighting as you can press/release switches remotely.
