Proove switch component for Homeassistant

This is a component for Homeassistant.io that simplifies the process of controlling proove remote controlled outlets from your Raspberry pi.

See https://github.com/miksto/Proove-Raspberry-Pi-Transmitter for more info on my setup.

Installation

These instructions are for a raspberry pi running hassbian, but might work for other setups as well.

Install pigpio which is used to generate the wave forms for the RF chip.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pigpio python-pigpio python3-pigpio

Start the pigpio daemon by running sudo pigpiod. To automatically start pigpio at boot you can add it to the root's crontab.

@reboot              /usr/local/bin/pigpiod

Add your switches to configuration.yaml

switch:
- platform: proove_rf
  gpio: 22
  transmitter_code: '00101010001001010010110010'
  switches:
    bed_outlets:
      name: 'Bed outlets'
      unit_code: '0000'
    window_outlets:
      name: 'Window side outlets'
      unit_code: '0001'
    tv_bench_outlets:
      name: 'TV bench outlets'
      unit_code: '0010'

Restart homeassistant and your switches should appear in the dashboard.
