Removed commented out code
Changed to pull CONF_PIN from home assistant constants
Removed an extra common

Stumbled across this while trying to see how best to send alarm reason to noonlight. Updated to this on my HASS install, but having trouble sending alarm reason. Can you update the instructions? Sample Automation:

I suspect there is multiple ways to deal with the input_text, but this works for me |

And you were able to verify that it was successful sent to Noonlight?
And by the way, thanks for working on this feature.

entity_id: switch.testswitch
to: 'on'
action:

Yes, noonlight has a developer portal. If you wanted to verify for yourself you can sign up for a developer API key at https://www.noonlight.com/developers. You then change the api_endpoint to https://api-sandbox.noonlight.com/dispatch/v1 and set your developers token vi: Once you do this and restart HA you can use the noonlight debug link: https://developer.noonlight.com/app/debugger Note the developer token will not work with the production noonlight web api. I saw some people indicating you could just grab a developer key and not use the konnected.io code. I far as I can tell this incorrect as you still need to have some way to authenticate your key. Alternatively to the above you can kickoff an alert on the production side and when noonlight contacts you tell them you're verifying your security system is working correctly and ask them to verify your address and service request. It would be good to have someone else run through the live test and respond back to the thread so that the code owner see more people than I have had success with this modification. |

Brian,
Thanks for the additional information. I was having them call to confirm, but they were not getting the fire information for some reason. Being able to track what was sent is perfect. This needs to get published.

to look at the message you've sent.

the V2 update works as expected. A little clearer documentation may help, but was able to implement and verify via the Noonlight Developer portal and via the live monitoring. Happy to assist with clarifying instructions - thanks for the work on this update! |
|
@0n3man I just was able to test this today. Are you able to set internal defaults for |
|
Yes, I'll go ahead and add. Updated in place to initial the alarm_cause and noonlight_service fields. |
|
Nate is there something else required to get this code integrated? |
|
Is this getting merged? Because the integration as it is leaves a lot to be desired. |
|
Silly question |
|
I added @0n3man 's repository to HACS and installed it from there, I guess you will have to uninstall konnectected-io's version first. It worked wonderfully. @heythisisnate Can we pretty please have this integrated? So many would benefit from it! Thanks! |
|
any chance to add a version number to the manifest? |
|
Hey all, Sorry it's taken a while to review this but I have a few issues with the way this is currently set up.
overall, pretty good, but I think this needs refinement before merging |
|
This is very frustrating, structural comments 3 months after a working patch is submitted and 2 1/2 months after Nate provided suggestions. I implemented all of Nate's suggestions. Using an address instead of GPS coordinates while providing a means to specify the emergency service required makes this code base functional. Can't you merge the code as is? It is backward compatible with existing installation. It only requires adding address and input_text fields if you want the enhanced features. It makes the code compatible with noonlight V2 API. Assuming the patch isn't worth integrating can you give a timeline when you'll have these features implemented in the existing code base? |
|
Hey @0n3man, I understand your frustration. You're welcome to continue running this code on your own installation and others can even do the same by cloning this pull request into their However, while this is functional, it is not the way the integration should work for all users for reasons I mentioned above. After further thought, I believe the best midpoint to address your goals will be to expose a new service within Home Assistant that allows specifying the specific alarm type. I will also integrate full V2 API coverage in the base library (I got caught up on the docs and changes last night) in the next couple weeks. Sorry for the thrash. |

I reviewed this with a member of the Noonlight dev team today. It's going to require some re-work unfortunately. The main thing is that Noonlight does not want us to use the v2 API for this integration. The v2 API is intended more for 3rd-party integrations where you as the end-user would not have an account with Noonlight, but a 3rd-party service could trigger an alarm on your behalf. In this use case, the v1 API is still most appropriate, because this is based off of a Noonlight account and subscription, and information (like your phone number and household members) linked to your Noonlight profile. The v1 API should be able to support the desired enhancement of being able to specify an alarm type and street address. I'm working with @snicker to get this re-worked and done in a way that works for everyone. Thanks for your patience. |

Nate,
Thanks for the update. The effort is appreciated. Out of curiosity did
anyone happen to mention to the Noonlight development team that you don't
typically utilize version numbers to establish APIs with different
purposes?
Thanks
Brian

@heythisisnate What’s the overall status on this? These are pretty simple APIs, so happy to help if there’s some dev work on the integration end needed… but would appreciate an update on the v1 and v2 semantics. The documentation for Noonlight API v1 implies some service-side changes needed for providing “instructions”/context for an alarm:
Any clarification to inspire a little confidence in the trajectory of API support here would be very helpful. |
…n the noonlight alert

I understand this update probably will never be included. However if you're not going to accept this work it would be greatly appreciated if you added support for real location information (House addess) and secondary POC information. GPS does not work with row houses, town houses and apartments. Which means a large portion of the population can not use you're code to connect to noonlight. While at my house GPS would probably work, I still like having at least one additional contact on the alarm. I have a home cell number that anyone in the house can pick up on the multiple house phones and my personal cell phone. At my daughter's house in the city GPS is a non starter. I can't image the policy going around and knocking on a bunch of doors just to respond to an alarm company GPS based alert. Any update on when you might make these capabilities main stream? For now I guess I'll have to continue using my copy of the code. |
|
I suppose this pull is dead :( I really would like to include my Freeze and Water sensors into this service. |
|
Coming back to this after some time. The address works, but the Alarm cause doesn't update because the input_text entity/helper is read only. It can be changed using the Developer State tool, but not via service. Any idea on how to resolve? |
|
Hello, coming back in 2024. The V2 API no longer works |
|
@0n3man Hi Brian, the V2 integration doesnt work anymore and home assistant just says: line1 invalid for integration noonlight; line2 invalid for integration noonlight; and so on for all the additional tags. Can you help? Thanks! |
I updated the code base to work with both noonlight V1 and V2 API. The V1 API works the same as before. With the V2 API you now add configuration values to report your house address and other items. In addition two new HA input_text fields were added so that the HA alerting automation can provide a reason for the alert and the desired service.
