aiohomematic 2025.8.8

Homematic interface for Home Assistant running on Python 3.

AIO Homematic (hahomematic)

A lightweight Python 3 library that powers Home Assistant integrations for controlling and monitoring HomeMatic and HomematicIP devices. Some third‑party devices/gateways (e.g., Bosch, Intertechno) may be supported as well.

This project is the modern successor to pyhomematic, focusing on automatic entity creation, fewer manual device definitions, and faster startups.

How it works

Unlike pyhomematic, which required manual device mappings, aiohomematic automatically creates entities for each relevant parameter on every device channel (unless blacklisted). To achieve this it:

• Fetches and caches device paramsets (VALUES) for fast successive startups.
• Provides hooks for custom entity classes where complex behavior is needed (e.g., thermostats, lights, covers, climate, locks, sirens).
• Includes helpers for robust operation, such as automatic reconnection after CCU restarts.

Key features

• Automatic entity discovery from device/channel parameters.
• Extensible via custom entity classes for complex devices.
• Caching of paramsets to speed up restarts.
• Designed to integrate with Home Assistant.

Installation (with Home Assistant)

Install via the custom component: Homematic(IP) Local.

Follow the installation guide: https://github.com/sukramj/homematicip_local/wiki/Installation

Requirements

Due to a bug in earlier CCU2/CCU3 firmware, aiohomematic requires at least the following versions when used with HomematicIP devices:

• CCU2: 2.53.27
• CCU3: 3.53.26

See details here: https://github.com/jens-maus/RaspberryMatic/issues/843. Other CCU‑like platforms using the buggy HmIPServer version are not supported.
