Hmm that would be easier. I'll look into this! Thanks.I think it’d be shorter, easier and more future proof to change the name in the customize.yaml. You can also do a global customization and change icons,names, etc.
it accepts wildcards, so maybe you can do it with a few lines of code.
Edit: you can also add a 'friendly name' properties to any entity. This won't break your existing automations and references while providing a more human readable name.
here’s mine, I didn’t change the names but it is possible:
Did you get your set up and running. I’ve been using Homebridge for years and thought I would try Home Assistant and got this up and running in a couple hours on a raspberry Pi 5. Configuration of the mqtt link was somewhat confusing . But I am up and running now.Hi there. I've been controlling my HAI Omni Pro II with OpenHAB for the last few years. I would like to switch to Home Assistant.
I have HA running on a Rasberry Pi, and it's working. I can't figure out how to integrate my OP II. I've read this entire post, tried to configure MQTT and OmniLink Bridge, but I'm sort of lost.
Can someone direct me to a simple, step by step guide to setting it up? I'm certainly not as savvy as many in here, so looking for very simple instructions. I feel like I'm close, but it's only because I've been piecemealing the install together from old posts with outdated info
Thanks!
Thank you for the step by step instructions.Welcome to the Cocoontech forum @torque.
Did the same as @tigers with original install of the OmnilinkBridge way way back. Today it is much easier and while it is good to read this entire thread its plug n play today using HomeAssistant.
1 - Start with an RPi image for Home Assistant
HA Rpi image
2 - Configure HA with first boot (user name and location, et al)
3 - Install MQTT per link:
Installing MQTT to HA
4 - Install HACS to your HA instance per link:
Initial configuration of HACS
5 - Then go to HACS ==> Integrations ==> add repository ==> download repository
6 - Go to HACS ==> Addons ==> Add on Store ==> Omnilinkbridge ==> configuration
