I’ve been on a quest to integrate my Leviton Decora Wi-Fi smart switches into my OpenHAB setup, and I’m thrilled to share my success! After some research, I discovered that there’s no direct OpenHAB binding for these switches, but I found a clever workaround using a Python script. Here’s how I made it happen:
First, I installed the Python script from GitHub. It was a breeze—just download the zip, unzip it, and place it in my OpenHAB scripts directory. Then, I set up a rule in OpenHAB to trigger the script whenever I toggle my kitchen lights. The script communicates with the Leviton API, sending commands to turn the lights on or off.
The best part? I can even control dimmer switches by specifying a percentage, like 25% brightness. And if I need to control multiple switches at once, I can string commands together in a single execution. This not only speeds things up but also reduces the number of API calls, which is a win-win!
I’d love to hear if others have found creative solutions for integrating devices without native support. Let’s keep the DIY spirit alive!
