Jarolift covers can be controlled by remote control. This repository contains a home assistant custom component which allows to control Jarolift covers (by adding a 'jarolift' cover platform). The remote control codes are send via a home assistant 'remote' which does the heavy load of transmitting the bytes via RF to the covers.
The code originates from here but Wladi seems not in the position to support further more. Since there were some changes needed to the code (and will always be as home assistant evolves) this repository was set up to track changes.
Older versions may be supported by tagged versions (see tags).
Jarolift covers use KeeLoq encryption hence there is always a proprietary bit of knowledge needed to operate them (the manufacturer key which is used in the process of encrypting/decrypting data).
This repository does not and will not contain the secret manufacturer key!
If you do not have the manufacturer key you should get it by using Google or follow the linked original source from above ;-)
Make sure you have the manufacturer secret (MSB and LSB from it are required). Also you need to have a remote configured that is able to send data (via RF) to your Jarolift covers. This could for example be an Broadlink RM PRO+ with the appropriate Home Assistant Integration configured.
Copy all files from custom_components/jarolift in this repo to your config custom_components/jarolift.
- Add this repository as HACS repository (type: integration)
- Search for 'jarolift' and install the integration
Enter following lines to configuration.yaml
jarolift:
remote_entity_id: remote.broadlink_rm_proplus_remote # this id is from the device of the remote integration representing the remote to send command with
MSB: '0x12345678' # Most significant bits of the manufacturer key (**0x12345678 is not the correct value!**)
LSB: '0x87654321' # Least significant bits of the manufactorer key (**0x87654321 is not the correct value!**)Manufacturer key can be found on pastebin (just google it)
You can then use the new cover platform like this:
- platform: jarolift
covers:
- name: 'Livingroom Main Cover'
group: '0x0001'
serial: '0x116ea01'
# The following two are optional
repeat_count: 4 # number of times a command is sent - default = 0
repeat_delay: 0.2 # delay in seconds between multiple transmissions - default = 0.2
reverse: False # Do reverse up and down commands. Useful if your cover closes on sending "up" and opens on sending "down".Make sure Home Assistant can write files in the config directory. The integration will write one to keep track of the current count of command sent per serial. This count is required for the KeeLoq encryption.
Save the configuration file and restart Home Assistant.
The integration provides following services:
- jarolift.clear
- jarolift.learn
- jarolift.send_command
- jarolift.send_raw
Those are documented in the services.yaml.
Use the provided services from your Home Assistant Developers Tools view to connect to your covers. Use the process that is normally executed when learning an original Jarolift remote.
I can't promise to give any support since the code does not originate from me and I'm only using it in terms of "I once configured it and it works and now I'm only trying to keep it working with newer versions of Home Assistant".
