Teach-in

To communicate with your devices, your dongle must be registred into your device as enabled to send messages. To do so, enable Universal Teach-In on the integration (see the gif below), and set your device into "pairing mode" or something like that (for my devices, I just had to press 3 times on PRESS button). Don't forget to turn Universal Teach-In off.

FAQ

  • Why a custom integration? Because the official integration do not handle covers and universal teach-in is always on.
  • Why should I turn universal teach-in to off? If you live in a residence like I used to live, with every flat around equipped with EnOcean devices, you would appreciate to have only your devices managed by your dongle.
  • Why lights are not handled? I didn't take the time to finish lights handling. The library used for enocean, kipe/enocean, does not handle status message for lights and seams to be dead, so I had to send manually generated message to the light to get their status, and with the perspective of moving out, it was an effort I would do.
    • Limitations? Sometimes, the messages are not received by the devices (like covers), I think it's a limitation of enocean. To do it well, I should check if a status message is received after sending the message, and retry if no message is received. But it doesn't happen often, so, for now it was OK.
