How do I add new Home Assistant integrations such as Thermostat & Cameras to Remote 3

General

Hi all,

I have the Home Assistant Integration working to control my lights from my Remote 3. I’ve just learned how to setup and control my Nest Thermostat in Home Assistant along with some of my Cameras. How can I bring these new entities in Home Assistant into my Remote 3? I went into the Home Assistant integration on my Remote 3 Web configurator and there were no new entities. I clicked the start setup again thinking it might need to be refreshed, but after the process, there were no new entities to select to add. What am I missing here? Thanks.

You need to push entities from the HA side to the remote.

Did you install the UC app for HomeAssistant already from HACS?

Thanks @Malignant , how do I push the entities from the HA side to the remote?

Yes I did install the UC app from HACS in HA - it allows HA to see what’s going on on my UC R3 but I didn’t think it added anything to Remote 3 side of things.

Settings → devices and services → Unfolded Circle → Gear icon → Share entities with remote → Search for entity → submit.
Also, you will not be able to push cameras, as the remote does not have a video stream entity, you can use an integration i developed to add cameras tho: GitHub - mase1981/uc-intg-cctv

Thank you @M.a.S.e . I’ve pushed the Nest Thermostat entities to the Remote 3 and they appear now both as a control and sensor values too! Yay thanks. I don’t have my cameras exposed to external HTTPS. Too bad it has no video streaming entity from HA.

You don’t need to expose! My integration support local as well. All mine are local too.

Thank you so much @M.a.S.e - I will put that on the list to try afterwards (after I get everything I need to get working :P) I noticed you did the Spotify integration too, but right now Spotify is not allowing the creation of an App - is there anyway around this?

No, not until they re open the gates for it.
