The [HomematicIP](http://www.homematic-ip.com) component platform is used as an interface to the cloud server. Since there is no official documentation about this API, everything was done via reverse engineering. The [homematicip-rest-api](https://github.com/coreGreenberet/homematicip-rest-api) is used for communicating. Use at your own risk.

## {% linkable_title Setup the component via the frontend %}

Menu: *Configuration* -> *Integrations*
  
Fill the form:
* Your **access point ID** (SGTIN)
* Optional a **name** to identify your access point, this will be used to prefix your device names.
  
The authentification token will be generated and stored internally.

## {% linkable_title Setup the component using the configuration files %}
  
Generate the authentication token:
  
`generate_auth_token.py`
  
Add the information to your `configuration.yaml` file:

```yaml
homematicip_cloud:
  - accesspoint: IDENTIFIER
    authtoken: AUTHTOKEN
  - name: Location2
    accesspoint: IDENTIFIER2
    authtoken: AUTHTOKEN2
```

{% configuration %}
name:
  required: false
  description: Name to identify your access point, this will be used to prefix your device names.
  type: string
accesspoint:
  required: true
  description: This is the access point ID (SGTIN).
  type: string
authtoken:
  required: true

  type: string
{% endconfiguration %}
