AirSend for Home Assistant

Component for sending radio commands through the AirSend (RF433) or AirSend duo (RF433 & RF868).

Installation Steps

1. Add Repository:

   • 
   • Click on "Add repository" to include the necessary repository for the addon installation or follow hass_airsend-addon

2. Place the airsend.yaml File:

   • Go to airsend.cloud -> import/export -> Export
   • Select your devices, for local connection, select spurl
   • Click Export YAML to save the airsend.yaml
   • In the config folder of Home Assistant, place the airsend.yaml file.

     devices:
       ...
       AirSend Box:
         type: 0
         spurl: !secret spurl
         sensors: true

3. Edit the secrets.yaml File:

   • Add a line to the secrets.yaml file with the AirSend - Local IP - / - Password - (and IPv4 address).

   • If you know the IPv4 address, the line should look like this:

     spurl: sp://**************@[fe80::xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx]?gw=0&rhost=192.168.xxx.xxx

     This applies also if you want to ensure local connection and no reliance on any cloud / internet access to control your devices, cf. the Information section below.

   • or this if you don't know the IPv4 address :

     spurl: sp://**************@[fe80::xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx]?gw=1

   • Replace ************** with the AirSend Password, fe80::xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx with AirSend Local IP and 192.168.xxx.xxx with the AirSend IPv4 address.

4. Install the Custom Component:

   • In the Home Assistant terminal, run the following command to install the component:

     wget -q -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/devmel/hass_airsend/master/install | bash -

5. Restart Home Assistant and the AirSend Addon:

   • Restart Home Assistant.

6. Configure the Integration:

   • Navigate to Settings -> Devices & services -> + Add Integration.
   • Search for and select AirSend.
   • Select the rooms associated with your devices to complete the setup.

These steps will integrate AirSend with Home Assistant, allowing you to manage and automate AirSend-related tasks through the Home Assistant interface.

Information

• This requires the execution of hass_airsend-addon, if it is not on the same machine it is possible to add the field internal_url: http://x.x.x.x:33863/ in airsend.conf
• For local connection, the AirSend IPv4 address is required, you can find it in your router or Airsend App for Windows. If you DO NOT provide ?gw=0&rhost=... then you may face unexpected HTTP/500 status code or HTTP/262 status code at Home Assistant level.
