Home Assistant

Netatmo

The Netatmo integration platform is the main integration to integrate all Netatmo related platforms.

There is currently support for the following device types within Home Assistant:

Configuration

To add the Netatmo integration to your Home Assistant instance, use this My button:

Netatmo can be auto-discovered by Home Assistant. If an instance was found, it will be shown as Discovered. You can then set it up right away.

Extra configuration of the integration

Configuration of Netatmo public weather stations is offered from the front end. Enter the Netatmo integration and press the “CONFIGURE”, then set “Area name” for new area.

In the dialog, it is possible to create, edit and remove public weather sensors. For each area a unique name has to be set along with an area to be covered and whether to display average or maximum values.

To edit an existing area, enter its name and follow the dialog.

Camera

The netatmo camera platform is consuming the information provided by a Netatmo Smart Indoor, Outdoor and Netatmo Smart Video Doorbell camera. This integration allows you to view the current live stream created by the camera (exception: video doorbell).

The doorbell is currently not supported with the Home Assistant Cloud link mode (configured in the integration). Please use a Netatmo dev account. Note that: if you have already created the Netatmo integration, you must remove it and configure it with the Netatmo dev account as explained in the previous link. Then you will see a Smart Doorbell device with a camera sensor.

Climate

The netatmo thermostat platform is consuming the information provided by a Netatmo Smart Thermostat, Smart Modulating Thermostat and Netatmo Smart Radiator Valve. This integration allows you to view the current temperature and control the setpoint.

Cover

The netatmo cover platform provides support for Bubendorff shutters.

Light

The netatmo light platform is consuming information provided by a Netatmo Smart Outdoor camera and requires an active webhook. This integration allows you to turn on/off the flood lights. It further provides support for Legrand/BTicino dimmers.

Sensor

The netatmo sensor platform is consuming the information provided by a Netatmo Smart Home Weather Station a Netatmo Smart Indoor Air Quality Monitor device or Netatmo Public Weather Stations.

Switch

The netatmo switch platform provides support for Legrand/BTicino switches and power plugs.

Webhook Events

The Netatmo backend sends instant events to Home Assistant by using webhooks which unlocks improved responsiveness of most devices with the exception of Netatmo Smart Home Weather Station, Netatmo Smart Indoor Air Quality Monitor or Netatmo Public Weather Stations.

Netatmo webhook events have known issues with Home Assistant Cloud Link. It is therefore recommended to use an individual development account.

To be able to receive events from Netatmo, your Home Assistant instance needs to be accessible from the web over port 443. To achieve this you can either use your Nabu Casa account or for example Duck DNS (Home Assistant instructions). You also need to have the external URL configured in the Home Assistant configuration.

Events coming in from Netatmo will be available as an event in Home Assistant and are fired as netatmo_event, along with their data. You can use these events to trigger automations.

You can find the available event types at the official Netatmo API documentation.

Example:

# Example automation for webhooks based Netatmo events
- alias: "Netatmo event example"
  description: "Count all events pushed by the Netatmo API"
  trigger:
    - event_data: {}
      event_type: netatmo_event
      platform: event
  action:
    - data: {}
      entity_id: counter.event_counter
      service: counter.increment

Example:

# Example automation for Netatmo Welcome
- alias: "Motion at home"
  description: "Motion detected at home"
  trigger:
    - event_type: netatmo_event
      platform: event
      event_data:
        type: movement
  action:
    - data:
        message: >
          {{ trigger.event.data["data"]["message"] }}  
          at {{ trigger.event.data["data"]["home_name"] }}
        title: Netatmo event
      service: persistent_notification.create

Example:

# Example automation for Netatmo Presence
- alias: "Motion at home"
  description: "Motion detected at home"
  trigger:
    - event_type: netatmo_event
      platform: event
      event_data:
        type: human # other possible types: animal, vehicle
  action:
    - data:
        message: >
          {{ trigger.event.data["data"]["message"] }}  
          at {{ trigger.event.data["data"]["home_name"] }}
        title: Netatmo event
      service: persistent_notification.create

Example:

# Example automation
- alias: "Door or window open or movement"
  description: "Notifies which door or window is open or was moved"
  trigger:
    - event_type: netatmo_event
      platform: event
      event_data:
        type: tag_open
    - event_type: netatmo_event
      platform: event
      event_data:
        type: tag_big_move
    - event_type: netatmo_event
      platform: event
      event_data:
        type: tag_small_move
  action:
    - data:
        message: >
          {{ trigger.event.data["data"]["message"] }}
        title: Netatmo event
      service: persistent_notification.create

Development / Testing with your own client ID

To enable the Netatmo integration with your own development credentials, you have to declare a new application in the Netatmo Developer Page.

Sign in using your username and password from your regular Netatmo account.

In your Netatmo Application configuration, do not enter a ‘redirect URI’ or a ‘webhook URI’. The ‘webhook URI’ is automatically registered by this integration based on the external URL configured in the Home Assistant configuration.

See Application Credentials for instructions on how to configure your Client ID and Client Secret, then enable Netatmo through the integrations page.

Menu: Settings -> Devices & Services.

Click on the + sign to add an integration and click on Netatmo. After completing the configuration flow, the Netatmo integration will be available.

Troubleshooting

Receiving events

To confirm your Home Assistant instance is receiving events via webhooks, you can listen to netatmo_event in Developer Tools -> Events.

Light

If the lights show as unavailable the issue usually is that webhook is banned by Netatmo. To solve that unregister the webhook, go to the Netatmo Developer Page to unban your webhook and then register the webhook.
