LCN for Home Assistant (built-in integration)

About

LCN is a built-in integration that connects Home Assistant to LCN bus installations locally through a PCHK server. It provides binary sensors, climate, covers, lights, scenes, sensors and switches. Actions cover dynamic text on LCN-GTxD displays, LED states, key locks, regulator locks, output brightness, output toggling, relays, sent keys, and variable or setpoint values, plus arbitrary PCK commands. Device triggers start automations from received code lock, fingerprint, transmitter and transponder codes, and from received send keys. Setup happens in the UI with the server address, port, credentials, dimming mode, optional acknowledgement requests and segment coupler scan attempts. Connection settings can be changed later without removing the entry.

Set up LCN host

Request acknowledgement from modulesRetry sendig commands if no expected response is received from modules (increases bus traffic).
Dimming modeThe number of steps used for dimming outputs of all LCN modules.
NameName of the LCN integration entry.
IP addressIP address or hostname of the PCHK server.
PasswordPassword for authorization on the PCHK server.
PortPort used by the PCHK server.
Segment coupler scan attemptsIf you have a segment coupler in your LCN installation, increase this number to at least 3, so all segment couplers are identified correctly.
UsernameUsername for authorization on the PCHK server.
