Danfoss Living Connect in HASS

With a bit of creative thinking I have managed to add my Danfoss Living Connect thermostats to Home Assistant. My integration is still rather new, so how robust the integration is is still to be seen.

To integrate the thermostats you need below.

  • Amazon Alexa account
  • Integrate your Danfoss Link with Amazon Alexa. Alexa support was added late December 2018.
  • MQTT configured in Home Assistant
  • Docker image jonasped/danfosslink2mqtt
  • Bespoken.io account
  • I am not sure if this is actually needed. An Amazon Echo device.

How to set up the integration

    1. Pull docker image jonasped/danfosslink2mqtt
    2. When running above docker image mount a read only file in /config.yaml. Below is an example of the config file.
    2. 
bespoken_token: VIRTUAL_ALEXA_ID_FROM_BESPOKEN
     
mqtt:        
  host: MQTT_HOST        
  username: NOT_YET_IMPLEMENTED        
  password: NOT_YET_IMPLEMENTED

thermostats:         
  - name: Room one         
    current_temperature: "thermostat/room/current"       
    target_temperature: "thermostat/room/target"         
  - name: living room 
    current_temperature: "thermostat/living/current"   
    target_temperature: "thermostat/living/target"
  2. Define the MQTT climate or sensors in Home Assistant. Below in an example.
    3. 
climate:
        - platform: mqtt
          name: "Room"
          current_temperature_topic: "thermostat/room/current"
          temperature_command_topic: "thermostat/room/target"
        - platform: mqtt
          name: "Living room"
          current_temperature_topic: "thermostat/living/current"
          temperature_command_topic: "thermostat/living/target"
