The Home Connect integration allows users to integrate their home appliances supporting the Home Connect standard for Bosch and Siemens using the [official cloud API](https://developer.home-connect.com).

The integration will add one Home Assistant device for each connected home appliance which will have the following entities:

- A power switch
- If the device has programs, switches for each of the individual programs will be added. Note that program options cannot be configured currently.
- If the device has programs, a timestamp sensor for remaining time and a numeric sensor for the progress percentage.

Note that it depends on the appliance and on API permissions which of the features are supported. A notable limitation is that oven programs cannot be started currently.

## Installation

### Installation using a developer account

1. Visit [https://developer.home-connect.com](https://developer.home-connect.com) and sign up for a developer account.
2. Under [Applications](https://developer.home-connect.com/applications), register a new App:

- Application ID: Home Assistant (or whatever name makes sense to you)
- OAuth Flow: Authorization Code Grant Flow
- Redirect URI: "`<INTERNAL_HOME_ASSISTANT_URL>/auth/external/callback`
  Use your internal Home Assistant URL, if you didn't configure one manually, use your local IP address. Examples: `http://192.168.0.2:8123/auth/external/callback`, `http://homeassistant.local:8123/auth/external/callback`."

3. Add the client ID and client secret to your `configuration.yaml` (see below).
