KWB Easyfire

The kwb integrationIntegrations connect and integrate Home Assistant with your devices, services, and more. [Learn more] integrates the sensors of KWB Easyfire pellet central heating units with the Comfort3 controller (https://www.kwb.net/produkte/) into Home Assistant.

Direct connection via serial (RS485) or via telnet terminal server is supported. The serial cable has to be attached to the control unit port 25 (which is normally used for detached control terminals).

Since this serial protocol is proprietary and closed, only most temperature sensors and a few control relays are supported, the rest is still WIP (see https://www.mikrocontroller.net/topic/274137).

To enable the KWB Easyfire integrationIntegrations connect and integrate Home Assistant with your devices, services, and more. [Learn more], add it to your configuration.yamlThe configuration.yaml file is the main configuration file for Home Assistant. It lists the integrations to be loaded and their specific configurations. In some cases, the configuration needs to be edited manually directly in the configuration.yaml file. Most integrations can be configured in the UI.[Learn more] file. After changing the configuration.yamlThe configuration.yaml file is the main configuration file for Home Assistant. It lists the integrations to be loaded and their specific configurations. In some cases, the configuration needs to be edited manually directly in the configuration.yaml file. Most integrations can be configured in the UI.[Learn more] file, restart Home Assistant to apply the changes. To view the changes, go to Settings > Devices & services > Entities.

Direct connection via serial port:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
- platform: kwb
    name: kwb
    device: "/dev/ttyUSB0"
    type: serial
    raw: false

Telnet terminal server with a serial-ethernet converter:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
  - platform: kwb
    name: kwb
    host: <ip>
    port: 23
    type: tcp
    raw: false

Take a good look at which configuration variables are for TCP use or for serial use.
