LiteJet is a centralized lighting system that predates most home automation technology. All lights and wall switches are wired to a central panel. This central panel has a sierial port interface that allows a computer to control the system via LiteJet's third party protocol.
LiteJet is a centralized lighting system that predates most home automation technology. All lights and wall switches are wired to a central panel. This central panel has a serial port interface that allows a computer to control the system via LiteJet's third party protocol.
Home Assistant integrates the LiteJet 3rd party protocol and allows you to get the status and control the connected lights.

```yaml
litejet:
url: /dev/serial/by-id/THE-PATH-OF-YOUR-SERIAL-PORT
port: /dev/serial/by-id/THE-PATH-OF-YOUR-SERIAL-PORT
```
Your LiteJet MCP should be configured for 19.2 K baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and to transmit a 'CR' after each response. These settings can be configured using the [LiteJet programming software](https://www.centralite.com/helpdesk/knowledgebase.php?article=735).
You can also configure the Home Assistant to ignore lights, scenes, and switches via their name. This is highly recommended since LiteJet has a fixed number of each of these and with most systems many will be unused.
```yaml
litejet:
```
Configuration variables:
- **port** (*Required*): The path to the serial port connected to the LiteJet.
- **exclude_names** (*Optional*): A list of light or switch names that should be ignored.
- **include_switches** (*Optional*): Cause entities to be created for all the LiteJet switches. Default is `false`. This can be useful when debugging your lighting as you can press/release switches remotely.
