Visual 2 HW6.1 integration with HomeAssistant

[Infernoken]

Hi,

I'm trying to integrate an IHC Visual 2 HW6.1 system running 2.7.199 into Home Assistant.

 

I created an extra user in my IHC controller just for Home Assistant:   

user: HomeAssistant

pass: Test     (will change that when I get it working ;-) )

 

System is located at 192.168.1.3, but with ports 5010 & 5020, so need to that that along in the configuration...

 

I integrated the following in configuration.yaml:

ihc:

  - url: 'http://192.168.1.3:5010'

    username: HomeAssistant

    password: Test

    auto_setup: true

    info: True

 

 

But HomeAssistant runs into some problems and get 2 errors:

 

First:

Setup failed for ihc: Integration failed to initialize.

20:27:20 – setup.py (ERROR)

 

Details:

Logger: homeassistant.setup
Source: setup.py:138
First occurred: 20:27:20 (1 occurrences)
Last logged: 20:27:20

Setup failed for ihc: Integration failed to initialize.

 

Second:

Unable to read project from IHC controller

20:27:20 – ihc (ERROR)

 

Details:

Logger: homeassistant.components.ihc
Source: components/ihc/__init__.py:281
Integration: ihc (documentation, issues)
First occurred: 20:27:20 (1 occurrences)
Last logged: 20:27:20

Unable to read project from IHC controller

 

 

Any idea what is going on?

Or is the fact my controller is still based on 2.7.199 the problem?  (I had issues with 2.7.220, so went back to this 'stable' version)

 

Thanks for any help...

Firmware 2.7.199 is fine and that should not be related.

Please verify that the new user is type Admin and has ALL priviligies inside IHC.

Please also try auto_setup = false.

You call also ssl with https on relevant port instead, which is much more secure than http as you showed.

Just found the issue...  Was the non-standard ports that was the issue...
When changing to the standard port 80 & 443 all started to work.

So firmware 2.7.199 runs indeed fine with Home Assistant.

 

Next to this, I also installed a version of OpenHAB and also there was able to connect to the IHC installation...

 

Now trying to make up my mind which I will continue to use...  Home Assistant <> OpenHAB...

I have both openhab and HA connected to IHC and there are pro and cons for both products.

In some cases I have made two way sync using mqtt - e.g if support for some hardware only exist in one of these products.
