Homematic HmiP-SWDO-2 > not recognized by Homey

Good morning everyone, I urgently please need to connect my new HmiP-SWDO-2 devices from Homematic into Homey Pro (disk, early 2023). I did not know, that they are different from the old HmiP-SWDO ones. I would really mostly appreciate if someone could help me out… The best of course would be to add this to the device list of Homematic in Homey since I am not a programmer (just an ordinary motivated user). Otherwise I have just lost a few hundred Euros :-((( Thank you ever so much!!!

Hello Chris, thank you very very much for your explanation. So, as I understand, there ist currently no way to immigrate the hmip-swdo-2 into Homey? This would mean a big problem for me and other users :frowning:

Yep..

Most “other users” have sent their Homematic devices into retirement by now…

Not just the message I have waited for :frowning: Thank you anyway for your support!

Good Morning Chris, found it out: It works with MQTT :slight_smile:

Just have written a short memory for myself for the next time: Adding a Homematic Window Sensor to Homey

  1. In Homey, go to “Devices” and tap the + (plus) icon in the top right corner.
  2. Select/connect the “MQTT Hub” app (by Ronny Winkler).
    Select “MQTT Device.”
  3. Assign a desired name (e.g., “Kitchen Window”).
  4. Select “Sensor” as the Device class, then choose a suitable icon (use the search field with the magnifying glass: “Window” = 1st option in the top left; “Door” is also an option—this can be adjusted later).
  5. In the “Capabilities” section, select the default option: “alarm_contact true false.”
  6. Copy the sensor’s serial number from the Homematic WebUI (“Devices” section) and enter it under “State Topic”:

device/status/NEW_SERIAL_NUMBER/1/STATE

  1. The “[optional] Value template…” field:
    Entry: Type exactly these two characters here to retrieve the value from the CCU3 data payload:
    $.v

  2. Click “Continue.”

  3. The device will now appear as a button in Homey.

  4. Click on it, then open the settings on the right (gear icon).

  5. Change the “On/off values” to 1/0.

  6. Ensure that the new serial number (which starts with 00…) is correct and that capital letters are preserved (both the letters within the serial number and the word “STATE”):
    {
    “alarm_contact”: {
    “capability”: “alarm_contact”,
    “stateTopic”: “device/status/ENTER_NEW_SERIAL_NUMBER_HERE/1/STATE”,
    “setTopic”: “”,
    “valueTemplate”: “$.v”,
    “outputTemplate”: “”,
    “displayName”: “Contact alarm”
    }
    }

(Note: If a new window sensor does not respond, simply change the “/1/STATE” at the end of the code to “/3/STATE,” as some sensors transmit on Channel 3.)
