HA Combined Device

Hi Joe,
Is it possible to create a single device in Indigo with all states available in HA. Example being a switch controlling a light. Ideally I'd like to see:
Switch state
Energy
Power
At present as I see it, if I want to bring these in to Indigo it would mean 3 separate devices rather than the single device that Indigo would create if it was fully supported.
Maybe I'm missing something in the set up??

Re: HA Combined Device

The plugin can only map a single HA "entity" to an Indigo device. I'm assuming that the light is actually represented as multiple entities in HA?

Yes the light has multiple entities.

Re: HA Combined Device

There's no way to definitely determine which entities belong to the same physical device. HomeAssistant uses a very naive naming scheme for entities, which guarantees uniqueness but does not uniquely identify the device the entity is associated with.

Re: HA Combined Device

Is there a workaround, existing or not, where those entities could be combined into one Indigo device? For me it’s so much easier to see all under the one hood.

Re: HA Combined Device

For clarity, I’m thinking on the Indigo side. Create individual devices from HA representing each entity and then have a single device with all properties as required.

Not that I can think of. Maybe someone else will have an idea.
