The SCSGate component support the SCSGate device. This a home-brew device allows to interact with the MyHome system from BTicino/Legrande.

There is currently support for the following device types within Home Assistant:

• Cover
• Light
• Switch

To enable SCSGate in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
scsgate:
  device: PATH_TO_DEVICE

{% configuration %} device: description: The path to your device, e.g., /dev/ttyACM0. required: true type: string {% endconfiguration %}

{% linkable_title How to find the scs_id for your devices %}

The SCSGate component relies on the scsgate Python module.

This module provides also a command line tool called scs-monitor. This program can be used to find the IDs of your lights, switches and roller shutters and produce the YAML snippet to insert into your configuration.yaml file.

For more information checkout this section of scsgate's documentation.

The SCSGate devices can control motorized covers connected to the BTicino MyHome system.
