Supported Functions
What the integration does — and does not — do for each OpenWebNet subsystem (WHO) and Home Assistant platform. Hardware and gateway models are listed in Hardware Compatibility; the wire-level conformance corpus is in the Protocol Conformance Matrix. Things that are deliberately not supported, and why, are in Known Limitations.

light (WHO 1)
| Function |
Status |
Notes |
| On / off |
✅ |
Relay and dimmer actuators, including F422 private-bus addresses (#4#<interface>). |
| Brightness |
✅ |
Dimmers (dimmable: true or learned from a level frame). |
| Transitions |
✅ |
software_stepped (default) or the actuator's native fade — gateway option. |
| Flash |
✅ |
|
| Colour temperature (DALI DT8) |
✅ |
Dimension 14, 2000–6535 K; learned from the first colour frame. |
| HS / RGB colour |
✅ |
Learned from the first colour frame; modes accumulate, they never replace each other. |
| Hardware timer |
✅ |
myhome.turn_on_timed: the actuator switches off by itself. |
| Group / area / general commands from wall switches |
👁️ |
Frames are seen, but entities only update when the actuator reports its own status — see limitations. |
switch (WHO 1)
| Function |
Status |
Notes |
| On / off |
✅ |
Device class switch or outlet from myhome.yaml. |
| Hardware timer |
✅ |
myhome.turn_on_timed. |
cover (WHO 1 / WHO 2)
| Function |
Status |
Notes |
| Open / close / stop |
✅ |
Standard WHO 2 shutter actuators. |
| Impulse cover (WHO 1) |
✅ |
Pulse-driven gates and garage doors: direct pulses with deadband and sensor feedback by default, and an optional access: workflow with phone approval, pre-warning, and watchdog. |
| Position (position-reporting actuators) |
✅ |
Requires advanced_shutter: true in myhome.yaml; it is not learned from the bus. |
| Position (timed actuators) |
✅ |
Virtual position from the travel time: travel_time in YAML, measured with myhome.calibrate_cover, or set by hand with myhome.set_cover_travel_time. |
| Tilt |
❌ |
Slat commands are parsed by OWNd but not exposed. |
| Echo suppression |
✅ |
The gateway's relay of our own command is not mistaken for a keypad press. |
lock (WHO 6)
| Function |
Status |
Notes |
| Door entry lock (WHO 6) |
✅ |
Door entry strikes from myhome.yaml with optional constant-time PIN authentication and auto-relock. Never created from bus traffic; who: 1 relays are rejected (motorized gates and garage doors are impulse covers). Requires a gateway that routes WHO 6 and sees the door-entry riser, or Shared Bus → Secondary WHO 6 delegation to one (such as an MH202 on the riser); F454 / F459 route only WHO 8. If the gateway rejects *6*10*<where>## with *#*0## (e.g. MyHomeServer1, F455, F461, F454), lock.unlock raises HomeAssistantError and leaves the entity locked; an unlock not confirmed within 15 s is withdrawn if it has not been sent yet. |
| Doorbell event (WHO 6 / WHO 8) |
✅ |
myhome_doorbell_event for an entrance panel ringing (WHO 8 call kinds 1-4, WHO 6 call), not for handset-to-handset calls or pager broadcasts. Fired by the gateway that owns the subsystem only (delegatable via WHO 6 / WHO 8 on a shared bus). The WHO 6 chime (WHAT 20) is unverified: it is not in the published WHO 6 table and has no capture. |
climate (WHO 4)
| Function |
Status |
Notes |
| Current temperature |
✅ |
|
| Target temperature |
✅ |
Manual set-point. |
| HVAC modes |

| Fan speed (3-speed fancoil) |
✅ |
Auto-detected from dimension 11/20 frames, or explicit fan: true. |
| Current humidity |
✅ |
Auto-detected from dimension 60 frames, restored across restarts, or explicit humidity: true. |
| Central unit modes |
✅ |
Central unit 3550 (#0) and 4695 (#0#1) as central: true zones; seasonal propagation. Central units operate via autonomous events and are exempt from point-to-point status polling. |
| Weekly programs / scenarios |
❌ |
Program selection frames (*4*11xx*#0##) can be sent with myhome.send_message. |
| Temperature-only probes |
👁️ |
sensor platform (see below). |

| Function |
Status |
Notes |
| State (disarmed / armed away / triggered) |
👁️ |
Central units 3485 / 3486. |
| Arm away / arm home / disarm |
❌ |
The central unit rejects WHO 5 arm/disarm over SCS (#564); send the AUX frames it is programmed for with myhome.send_message, e.g. from a template alarm panel (alarm). |
| Trigger (panic) |
❌ |
Not sent; no capture shows the central unit accepting it. |
| Zone status |
👁️ |
The panel follows the central unit and the zone-0 broadcast; individual zones are not entities (limitations). |
binary_sensor (WHO 1 / 9 / 25)
| Function |
Status |
Notes |
| Dry contacts (CEN+, WHO 25) |
✅ |
F428 / 3477 / 3480 / F482; device class selectable in UI (Show As) or YAML. |
| Auxiliary channels (WHO 9) |
✅ |
AUX 0–9. |
| Motion / presence (WHO 1) |
✅ |
Motion frames of lighting sensors; a timeout restores off. |
| Inverted contacts |
✅ |
Per-device Invert state configuration switch (EntityCategory.CONFIG) on WHO 25 and WHO 9 devices, or inverted: true in myhome.yaml. |
sensor (WHO 1 / 4 / 18)
| Function |
Status |
Notes |
| Instantaneous power (W) |
✅ |
Push-driven; myhome.start_sending_instant_power requests a burst of readings. |
| Energy total / today / month (Wh) |
✅ |
Today and month are disabled by default. |
| Temperature (zones and probes) |
✅ |
Zones are polled every 5 min; probes (WHERE ≥ 100) are push-driven and only polled when silent. |
| Illuminance (lux) |
✅ |
WHO 1 light sensors. |
| Humidity |
👁️ |
Shown as the climate entity's current_humidity when the zone reports it; no separate sensor. |
| Function |
Status |
Notes |
| Lock / unlock actuator |
✅ |
On every light, switch and cover device (EntityCategory.CONFIG). |
| Calibrate travel time |
✅ |
On every timed cover device, plus Calibrate all covers on the gateway device. |
| FM tuner seek up / down |
✅ |
Companion Seek up and Seek down buttons on every declared F500 / F500N Audio Source device (WHO 16 *16*5000/5100*10S## or WHO 22 *22*5/6*2#S##). |
number (WHO 16 / 22)
| Function |
Status |
Notes |
| FM tuner manual frequency |
✅ |
number.<source>_frequency (87.50–108.00 MHz, 0.05 MHz step, NumberMode.BOX) on every declared F500 / F500N Audio Source device (*#16*10S*#6*0*<kHz>## or *#22*2#S*#5*1*<10kHz>##). |
| Function |
Status |
Notes |
| On / off, volume, mute, source 1–4 |
✅ |
Per zone / amplifier. |
| FM radio tuner sources (F500 / F500N) |
✅ |
Power on/off, stored presets (Station 1–15), RDS programme text, Media Browser (BROWSE_MEDIA), direct frequency tuning (myhome.tuner_set_frequency / play_media), hardware seek (myhome.tuner_seek_up / tuner_seek_down), and preset storage (myhome.tuner_store_station) across both WHO 16 and WHO 22 gateways. |
| Streaming (play, pause, next, previous) |
✅ |
Only when decoders are mapped in the options flow: the zone becomes a Music Assistant / Spotify target and routes the matrix to a free decoder. |
| Media metadata |
👁️ |
Mirrored from the decoder while a stream is active, or decoded from live FM RDS on tuner sources. |
| Speaker groups |
✅ |
Home Assistant join / unjoin and Music Assistant sync groups: rooms of a group share one decoder and one source. See Multi-Room Audio Grouping. |
Device triggers (WHO 15 / 25)
| Trigger |
CEN |
CEN+ |
| Short press / short release |
✅ |
✅ |
| Long press / long release |
✅ |
✅ |
| Rotary dial clockwise / counter-clockwise, slow and fast |
✅ |
✅ |
Buttons 0–31 per device; every trigger carries the gateway MAC so multi-gateway plants do not cross-fire.
