Rademacher Provider

Rademacher HomePilot device-provider addon for CamStack — wraps the @apocaliss92/noderademacher local-hub client (roller shutters over the cover cap).

Package @camstack/addon-provider-rademacher on npm.

What it provides

• Rademacher (provider-rademacher): Adopt a Rademacher HomePilot / Start2Smart hub over the local network and its roller shutters (positional cover). Category: providers.
  • Capabilities: device-provider.

Configuration

Edit these from System, Addons, this addon, Settings (a device's own settings are on its device page). A password field is stored in the keychain.

Connection

• Hub: Name
• Connection: Hub host / IP, Password (optional), Poll interval (ms), API base path (optional)

Requirements

• Placement: hub-only.
• A CamStack hub. An agent is used only where the placement above allows it.

Documentation

• docs/architecture/device-model.md

See CHANGELOG.md for what changed in each version.

Setup

1. In CamStack: Integrations, add Rademacher. Type the hub's host / IP; there is no network scan, because a hub answers nothing that tells it apart from any other web server. Leave the password blank for an unprotected hub; it is stored in the CamStack keychain and never put in an environment variable, a command line or a log line. Test logs in and reads the hub's model and firmware.
2. Open the integration's discovery. The hub appears as one Gateway device (its web page, model, firmware, MAC and online state); every roller shutter appears as a cover, with the integration in its id so two hubs never collide. Adopt the ones you want. The products are siblings of the gateway, not its children.
3. The hub has no push channel, so it is polled every poll interval (30 s by default). A hub that is down when CamStack starts is retried with a growing delay, and a hub that stops answering reads offline until it answers again.
4. Reboot and firmware update are not offered: the HomePilot API only reports that an update exists, it cannot restart the hub or start one.

An older standalone Rademacher hub device is not migrated: remove it and add the integration.
