Light control with Beoremote One + Mozart + Home Assistant

[cklit]

I’ve made a video for those of you, who are interested in a relatively easy way to activate light control from Beoremote One through a Mozart Platform-based product and Home Assistant. This video takes you through the first-time setup of Home Assistant and how to set up the automation 🙂

[YannChris]

Very interesting, thank you.

Light control through Beo4 and LC2s were so comfortable, I miss this feature very much.

Happy to see there is a solution.

Regards,

Yann.

Tak 👍

The only drawback here is, that I need light to see which buttons on the remote I should push…..to get light.

I agree, the “light” key was easy to find, even in the dark.

@cklit: could a light automation be assigned to one of the mybuttons?

Regards,

Yann.

Unfortunately not.

That is possible in IR mode on Beoremote One, but unfortunately not when using Bluetooth.

Hello,

It seems that Home Assistant can be installed on a Synology NAS.

Chance for me, I have a Synology and a Theatre, so I am thinking of using your script for control with BR1.

Do you know if it’s possible?

Kind regards,

Yann.

[cklit]

Shouldn’t be a problem 🙂

[YannChris]

I’ll keep you posted 🙂

[YannChris]

@cklit:

Done and running, I was really missing this feature.

Thanks again for this brilliant work!

Yann.

[cklit]

I’m glad you like it 🙂

Thank you Cklit, for taking the time to post this information.

May I ask, would Home Assistant work with the older Lutron Grafik eye products, which worked directly with the Bee 4 remote?

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

Kind regards

Julian

After a few days of use, I noticed that the main group turns the automation off if I stop it (either with Pause or Light-0 keys).

The only way to have it working again is to turn it on inside the Home Assitant web-UI.

This does not happen for the 2 additional groups.

Did I miss something in the automation settings?

Kind regards,

Yann.

Hi Julian,
I’m sorry, but I simply don’t know. There’s “always” a custom component, but I have no way of verifying how well, or if, it works. Sorry.

Hi YannChris, are you saying that it is disabling the automation all-together? Can you post a screenshot of your configuration of the blueprint?

[YannChris]

Fiddling in the HA screens, I deleted the automation, so I had to build it again.

And things are working now.

So I surely made a mistake before.

Hereunder the screenshot of the previous test made with an eye on the automation screen.

Light + green OK

Light + red: OK

Light +Yellow : OK

Light + blue: OK

Light + 9 : OK

After these steps, the automation is on.

Light +0 : OK

Now the automation is off.

Here are the settings.

Kind regards,

Yann.

You’re referencing an area. If the automation itself is added to that area, it will be disabled, yes.

Previously I was using the light.turn_on / turn_off commands, but I got a request to change it, because someone was using switch-entities as a part of their light-setup. So I changed it to the more generic homeassistant.turn_on/off commands instead – and this results in that it will turn every thing on/off in the referenced area. If you want to avoid this, use entities instead of area or label the things you want to control.

[YannChris]

If I well understand, I should replace the area name by the list of the lamps controlled in the area.

Or not assigning the automation to a room.

Am I wrong?

Thanks,

Yann.

Basically, do what I do in the video. Remove your selected area from the main group. and then press the green ‘Choose entity’ button. Select the light groups/bulbs you want to control.
