page Honeywell evohome Instructions on how to integrate Honeywell evohome devices with Home Assistant. 2018-09-25 12:00 true false true true honeywell.png Hub 0.80 Cloud Polling

The evohome platform is the main component to set up and integrate all supported evohome devices.

It uses the evohomeclient client library and so will let you control (only) EU-based Honeywell Connect Comfort systems.

Currently, only Controllers are supported; support for Heating zones and DHW controllers will be added at a later time.

It is related to the honeywell climate component, which allows limited integration with evohome Heating zones. These two components should be usuable side-by-side, but YMMV.

{% linkable_title Configuration %}

To use this component in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
evohome:
  - username: YOUR_USERNAME
    password: YOUR_PASSWORD
    location_idx: 0

This is a IoT cloud-polling device, and the scan_interval is currently fixed at 3 minutes. Testing has indicated that this is a safe interval that - by itself - shouldn't cause you to be rate-limited by Honeywell.
