Home Assistant Integration

Native custom component for Home Assistant. No HACS required.

Supports two update modes (user chooses during setup):

• Local Push (default, recommended) — the WiBeee sends data to HA’s HTTP server in real time. Lowest latency.

• Polling — HA periodically fetches status.xml from the device (configurable interval, default 30 s).

Features

• 📡 Local Push (recommended) — real-time updates via HTTP push (no polling overhead).

• 🔄 Polling mode — periodic fetch of status.xml (configurable interval, default 30 s).

• 🔍 DHCP auto-discovery — devices with MAC prefix 00:1E:C0 are detected automatically.

• ⚙️ Config Flow UI:

  • Step 1: enter or confirm device IP.

  • Step 2: select update mode (Local Push or Polling).

• 🔧 Options Flow:

  • Switch between push and polling.

  • Configure polling interval.

  • Re-run push auto-configuration.

• ⚡ Auto-configuration (optional) — the integration can configure the WiBeee to push data to HA (IP + HTTP port).

• 24 sensor types per phase: voltage, current, active/apparent/reactive power, frequency, power factor, active energy, reactive energy, angle, THD current & voltage with harmonics.

• 🧩 Device Registry:

  • Main device with manufacturer, model, firmware version, and link to the device web UI.

  • Per-phase sub-devices (L1, L2, L3) linked via via_device.

• 🌍 Translations: English, Spanish, Catalan.

• 12 device models: WBM, WBT, WMX, WTD, WX2, WX3, WXX, WBB, WB3, W3P, WGD, WBP.

• 🧪 Fully async, non-blocking implementation.

Installation

Copy the custom_components/wibeee/ folder into your Home Assistant config/custom_components/ directory:

# From the repository root
cp -r custom_components/wibeee /path/to/ha/config/custom_components/

Restart Home Assistant, then go to Settings → Devices & Services → Add Integration → Wibeee Energy Monitor.

The integration will ask for:

1. The device IP address (or it will be pre-filled if discovered via DHCP).

2. The update mode: Local Push (recommended) or Polling.

If you choose Local Push with auto-configure enabled, the integration sends the HA IP and port to the WiBeee device and restarts it. The device will start pushing data to HA immediately.

Requirements

• Home Assistant 2024.1.0 or later.

• WiBeee device accessible on the local network (static IP or DHCP reservation recommended).

• For Local Push: the WiBeee must be able to reach HA’s HTTP port (8123 by default).

Architecture

The integration follows modern Home Assistant patterns (2024+):

• ``entry.runtime_data`` — typed runtime data (WibeeeRuntimeData dataclass) instead of hass.data[DOMAIN].

• Single ``WibeeeCoordinator(DataUpdateCoordinator)`` — handles both polling (update_interval=30s) and push (update_interval=None) modes. Push data arrives via async_push_update().

• Single ``WibeeeSensor(CoordinatorEntity, SensorEntity)`` — one entity class for all sensor types.

• Deterministic entity creation — phases are discovered from the device (1-phase vs 3-phase), then ALL 24 sensor types are created per phase. Sensors without data report available=False.

• ``ConfigEntryNotReady`` — raised on connection errors during setup so HA retries automatically.

• Narrow exceptions — aiohttp.ClientError, asyncio.TimeoutError, ET.ParseError instead of bare except Exception.

• Read-only data contract — WibeeeData = Mapping[str, Mapping[str, str]] ensures coordinator data is not mutated downstream.

• XML parsing via stdlib — uses xml.etree.ElementTree (no xmltodict dependency in the HA component).

Discovery & Push

• DHCP discovery — devices with MAC prefix 00:1E:C0 are auto-detected.

• Push receiver — registers an HTTP endpoint at /Wibeee/receiverAvg on HA’s built-in HTTP server. The WiBeee sends periodic GET requests with sensor values as query parameters. The receiver maps push parameter prefixes (v, a, e, …) to XML sensor keys (vrms, p_activa, energia_activa, …) and routes data to the coordinator.

• Auto-configure — optionally sends HA’s IP and port to the device so it starts pushing immediately.

Design Decisions

• Component version (1.2.0) != library version (0.1.1) — the HA custom component and the CLI library are versioned independently.

• ``Mapping`` type alias — WibeeeData uses Mapping (read-only) instead of dict to prevent accidental mutation of coordinator data by sensor entities.

• One coordinator, two modes — instead of separate coordinator classes for polling and push, a single coordinator handles both. Push mode sets update_interval=None and exposes async_push_update() as the public API for incoming data.

• All sensors per phase — even if a sensor type has no data yet, the entity is created and marked available=False. This avoids entity churn when sensors appear/disappear.

Quality & Testing

• 119 automated tests covering coordinator, sensors, config flow, API, push receiver, buttons, and constants.

• Ruff clean (no lint warnings).

• Translations in English, Spanish, and Catalan.

Quality Scale

This integration aims to meet the Integration Quality Scale:

• ✅ Config flow

• ✅ Options flow

• ✅ Device registry support

• ✅ Async implementation

• ✅ Error handling

• ✅ Logging

• ✅ Translations

• ✅ Tests

• ✅ Documentation

Notes for Reviewers

• Push mode uses the HA HTTP component (no custom ports opened).

• Coordinator is used as a passive data bus for push updates (update_interval=None).

• Entities are deterministic per discovered phase (hardware-defined).

• Auto-configuration of push mode is optional and user-controlled.

Tested With

• Multiple WiBeee device models (single-phase and three-phase).

• Both push and polling modes.

• DHCP discovery and manual setup.

CLI Library

Examples

Get status

$ pywibeee --host 192.168.1.150 --get status
{"response": {"model": "WBB", "webversion": "3.4.614", "time": "1570484447",
"fase1_vrms": "228.70", "fase1_irms": "1.59", "fase1_p_activa": "264.34", ...}}

Get model

$ pywibeee --host 192.168.1.150 --get model
{"response": {"model": "WBB", "model_description": "Wibeee BOX"}}

Get info

$ pywibeee --host 192.168.1.150 -g info
{"response": {"model": "WBB", "model_description": "Wibeee BOX",
"webversion": "3.4.614", "host": "192.168.1.150", "devicename": "WIBEEE"}}

Get sensors with autodiscover

$ pywibeee --auto -g sensors
{"vrms": ["Vrms", "V", "mdi:sine-wave"], "irms": ["Irms", "A", "mdi:flash-auto"], ...}

Configure push server

Configure the WiBeee to push data to a server (e.g. Home Assistant on 192.168.1.50:8600):

$ pywibeee --host 192.168.1.150 -a configureserver --serverip 192.168.1.50 --serverport 8600
{"response": {"configureServer": "done (server=192.168.1.50:8600)"}}

The device will restart to apply the configuration. The port is sent in hexadecimal to the WiBeee firmware (8600 decimal = 2198 hex).

Reboot the device

$ pywibeee --host 192.168.1.150 -a rebootweb

Reset energy counters

$ pywibeee --host 192.168.1.150 -a resetenergy

Local Push Protocol

The WiBeee device can be configured to push data to a server via HTTP GET requests. The device sends periodic requests to the configured server with all sensor values as query parameters.

Endpoint

GET /Wibeee/receiverAvg?mac=001ec0112233&v1=230.5&a1=277&e1=222157&vt=230.5&...

The server must respond with <<<WBAVG to acknowledge receipt.

The server can also send <<<WREBOOT to remotely reboot the device.

Push parameter mapping

Push param prefix	Sensor	Unit
v	Phase voltage (vrms)	V
i	Current (irms)	A
p	Apparent power	VA
a	Active power	W
r	Inductive reactive power	var
q	Frequency	Hz
f	Power factor	—
e	Active energy	Wh
o	Inductive reactive energy	varh

Phase suffixes: 1 = L1, 2 = L2, 3 = L3, t = Total.

Example: v1 = voltage L1, at = active power total, e2 = active energy L2.

# Set the push server (port in hex: 8123 = 1fbb for HA default port)
curl "http://192.168.1.150/configura_server?ipServidor=192.168.1.50&URLServidor=192.168.1.50&portServidor=1fbb"

Security

The WiBeee has no authentication on local HTTP endpoints and uses plain HTTP. Recommended precautions:

• Isolate the device on a separate VLAN or IoT network.

• Use firewall rules to restrict access to ports 80, 502, and 550.

• Do not expose the device to the internet.

Tools

• Firmware files and downloader: firmware/

• WiBeee emulator: emulator/

• Cloud receiver server: webserver/
