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. + +Home Assistant integrates the LiteJet 3rd party protocol and allows you to get the status and control the connected lights. + +After connecting the LiteJet's RS232-2 port to your computer, add the following to your `configuration.yaml`: + +```yaml +litejet: + url: /dev/serial/by-id/THE-PATH-OF-YOUR-SERIAL-PORT +``` + +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). + +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. + +```yaml +litejet: + exclude_names: + - 'Button #' + - 'Scene #' + - 'Timed Scene #' + - 'Timed Scene#' + - 'LV Rel #' + - 'Fan #' +``` + +Configuration variables: + +- **url** (*Required*): The path to the serial port connected to the LiteJet. +- **exclude_names** (*Optional*): A list of light or switch names that should be ignored. +- **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. diff --git a/source/_components/scene.litejet.markdown b/source/_components/scene.litejet.markdown new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..fca7954e1b85 --- /dev/null +++ b/source/_components/scene.litejet.markdown @@ -0,0 +1,14 @@ +--- +layout: page +title: "LiteJet Scenes" +description: "Instructions how to setup LiteJet scenes within Home Assistant." +date: 2016-10-26 16:00 +sidebar: true +comments: false +sharing: true +footer: true +ha_category: Scene +ha_release: 0.32 +--- + +To get your LiteJet scenes working with Home Assistant, follow the instructions for the general [LiteJet component](/components/litejet/). diff --git a/source/_components/switch.litejet.markdown b/source/_components/switch.litejet.markdown new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..90bd86542dc8 --- /dev/null +++ b/source/_components/switch.litejet.markdown @@ -0,0 +1,14 @@ +--- +layout: page +title: "LiteJet Switch" +description: "Instructions how to setup the LiteJet switches within Home Assistant." +date: 2016-10-26 13:00 +sidebar: true +comments: false +sharing: true +footer: true +ha_category: Switch +ha_release: 0.32 +--- + +To get your LiteJet switches working with Home Assistant, follow the instructions for the general [LiteJet component](/components/litejet/).
