Configuration
Base Integration
Configuration is done via the Home Assistant Integrations UI dialogue which will request a Client ID and Secret that you must obtain from the HomeLINK Dashboard. You will need to have an admin account on your dashboard to enable access to the integrations dialogue. If you have a standard account you will need to request an admin account from AICO HomeLINK.
You will need to create a set of credentials by going to the Access Keys tab of the integrations dialogue and requesting a Web Api credential with the Standard scope. Make a note of the credentials generated and enter them into the standard Home Assistant integration installation dialogue. If you input incorrect credentials and it fails to authenticate at setup time, then you will likely need to delete the credentials via the Home Assistant Application Credentials and start again.
Note:- Only one instance of the integration can be installed to Home Assistant. However, all properties and devices you have access to will be exposed.
Insights
If you have environment devices (Ei1020 and Ei1025) installed, then you may optionally enable Insight sensors. These will display the level of various types of risk as a percentage.
