### Basic Explanation of Setup
At our home we have floor heating, which is controlled by an outside temperature sensor from the landlord. So there's no automations for setting a thermostat or turning off heating when we leave (it's anyway not efficient to turn off floor heating for only a few hours). I do however have some automations to notify me about mold conditions, good opportunity to open the windows and ventilate the house, a window left open for too long and an automation to turn on/off the dehumidifier when someone opens/closes a window in the same room. And also some automations related to weather conditons, like close windows when rain is coming.

There's a Xiaomi Door/Window sensor on each door and window in the house. Temperature and Humidity are measured by the Aeotec Multisensor, which are used for motion detection as well. In addition there are 3x Xiaomi Temp/Humidity sensors placed in rooms without one of the Aeotec Multisensors. The dehumidifier is "smart" by itself, I can set a target humidity and it will automatically start/stop to dehumidify accordingly. The only thing I added is an IKEA smart plug in order to turn it on/off when someone opens/closes the window in the room.

### Adding Temperature/Humidity sensors to the ZigBee network (Xiaomi)
Head over to the Phoscon Web UI under http://ip-of-your-pi:8080/pwa. And execute the following steps to integrate a Xiaomi Temperature/Humidity sensor:
* In Phoscon go to Devices -> Sensors and press "Add new sensor" at the bottom of the page.
* Choose "Other".
* Press and hold the button at the top of the sensor until the blue LED starts to blink.
* The sensor should now show up in Phoscon.
There will be one sensor for temperature, one for humdity and one for the battery level in Home Assistant.
### Adding Door/Window sensors to the ZigBee network (Xiaomi)
Head over to the Phoscon Web UI under http://ip-of-your-pi:8080/pwa. And execute the following steps to integrate a Xiaomi Door/Window sensor:
* In Phoscon go to Devices -> Sensors and press "Add new sensor" at the bottom of the page.
* Choose "Other".
* Reset the device by pressing and holding the setup button (small holle at one side of the larger part of the sensor) until the LED starts to blink.
* The sensor should now show up in Phoscon.
The Xiaomi Door/Window sensors are a bit tricky to pair. What helped me was to continuously trigger the sensor after holding the setup button by rapidly opening/closing the door/window.
There will be a binary sensor for the status of the sensor and one for the battery level in Home Assistant.
### Adding IKEA Tradfri smart plug to the ZigBee network (Xiaomi)
Head over to the Phoscon Web UI under http://ip-of-your-pi:8080/pwa. And execute the following steps to integrate a IKEA Tradfri smart plug:
* In Phoscon go to Devices -> Lights and press "Add new lights" at the bottom of the page.
* Reset the device by pressing and holding the setup button (small holle at one side of plug) until the LED starts to blink.
* The plug should now show up in Phoscon.
There will be a switch in Home Assistant.
### Configure Weather in Home Assistant (Meteo Swiss)
I use the the [Meteo Swiss custom component](https://github.com/websylv/homeassistant-meteoswiss). This is a weather integration for Switzerland and it delivers pretty good results. It can be installed through the [Home Assistant Community Store (HACS)](https://github.com/hacs/integration). The configuration is explained in the github repo of the component and it's pretty straightforward anyway.
