Home Assistant integration to get Calaos inputs and outputs states, as well as trigger Calaos outputs.

Home Assistant Integration for Calaos

Calaos is a home automation platform, initially created with support of Wago 750 series PLCs.

This integration allows getting Calaos inputs and outputs states into Home Assistant, as well as triggering Calaos outputs.

Calaos configuration cannot be changed using Home Assistant.

Notice

This integration is an independent project: the Calaos team is by no means invovled in its development.

Calaos to Home Assistant mapping

A device is created for each Calaos supported item, as well as an entity when applicable.

As a general rule:

• items that only send one-shot events have no entity, only device triggers (buttons, switches, etc)
• items that only have values but cannot be modified are mapped to sensors or binary sensors
• items that can be modified/triggered are mapped to relevant types

The following devices/items from Calaos are supported:

Calaos type	HA platform
Generic
InPlageHoraire	Binary sensor
InputTime	(triggers only)
InternalBool	Switch
InternalInt	Number
InternalString	Text
Scenario	Switch
Wago
WIDigitalBP	(triggers only)
WIDigitalLong	(triggers only)
WIDigitalTriple	(triggers only)
WODali	Light
WODigital	Light or switch
WOVoletSmart	Cover
Web
WebInputAnalog	Sensor
WebInputString	Sensor
WebInputTemp	Sensor
Fallback
Any other type	Sensor

Calaos rooms are suggested as Home Assistant areas.

Make lights be switches

At least in the Calaos version I am using right now, there is no way to define outputs other than lights.

As a trick to make Calaos lights become switches in Home Assistant, use the following prefixes in their name:

• SW for regular switches
• OU for outlets

That way, Calaos output lights will be seen as switches. The prefix is removed in the entity and device name. Therefore, a Calaos light item with name "SW Door" will be seen as a switch named "Door".
