Home Assistant integration to monitor and control Omlet's Smart Automatic Chicken Coop Door
Add repo to HACS by adding custom repository https://github.com/williamschey/hassio-omlet-smartcoop-door
The Omlet server is polled, using their official API, to get the latest status of your devices. Also supports cloud push using Omlet's webhooks. Home Assistant can be notified in real-time of any changes without needing to wait for a poll.
Accessing the Omlet API requires an API Key. These are free and limitless:
- Login to your Omlet Account at https://smart.omlet.com/developers/login
- Under API Keys, generate a new key. Copy the newly generated token, that's your API Key that'll you'll need to enter during setup.
If your HA instance is accessible via the internet, then you can be notified of events in real-time rather than relying on polling.
Create a webhook
- Visit Manage Webhooks in the Omlet Developer Portal.
- The URL will be [your hostname]/api/webhook/omlet_smart_coop
- Select all the events you want to track.
- Webhook token is mandatory but not used, any value will suffice.
- Add more sensors
- Add actions for configuration of modes and polling etc.
- Anything with groups
Enjoy!
