Ryan Malloy 5f6404a7e0 README: Gitea install URLs + docs site links + accurate quick starts
- Move install instructions from PyPI-only to Gitea-release-first
  (pip from git+https or direct wheel URL); note PyPI as 'pending'
- Add Project home + Documentation links at top
- Fix quick-start API name (get_system_info -> get_system_information,
  matching the actual library)
- Replace HA quick-start with the manual-clone path that works today
  (HACS support pending PyPI publish)
- Cross-link tutorials (first-script, dev-stack) and how-tos
  (install-in-home-assistant) from hai-omni-pro-ii.warehack.ing
- Add Tests section showing how to run the suite
- Add License + JOURNEY link in acknowledgements

# omni-pca
Async Python client for HAI/Leviton Omni-Link II home automation panels — Omni Pro II, Omni IIe, Omni LTe, Lumina.
Includes a Home Assistant custom component (`custom_components/omni_pca/`).
**Project home:** <https://git.supported.systems/warehack.ing/omni-pca>
**Documentation:** <https://hai-omni-pro-ii.warehack.ing/>
## Status
**Alpha.** Built from a full reverse-engineering of HAI's PC Access 3.17 (the Windows installer/programmer app). The protocol layer captures two non-public quirks that public Omni-Link clients miss:
1. **Session key is not the ControllerKey.** Last 5 bytes are XORed with a controller-supplied SessionID nonce.
2. **Per-block XOR pre-whitening before AES.** First two bytes of every 16-byte block are XORed with the packet's sequence number.
The full byte-level protocol spec lives at <https://hai-omni-pro-ii.warehack.ing/reference/protocol/>.
## Install
The library isn't on PyPI yet (pending), so install directly from the Gitea release:
```bash
# Pinned to a specific release (recommended)
pip install "omni-pca @ git+https://git.supported.systems/warehack.ing/omni-pca.git@v2026.5.10"
# Or the wheel from the release page
pip install https://git.supported.systems/warehack.ing/omni-pca/releases/download/v2026.5.10/omni_pca-2026.5.10-py3-none-any.whl
# Or with uv
uv add "omni-pca @ git+https://git.supported.systems/warehack.ing/omni-pca.git@v2026.5.10"
```
Once published to PyPI, the canonical install will be `pip install omni-pca`.
## Quick start (library)
```python
import asyncio
from omni_pca import OmniClient
async def main():
async with OmniClient(
host="192.168.1.9",
port=4369,
controller_key=bytes.fromhex("6ba7b4e9b4656de3cd7edd4c650cdb09"),
) as panel:
info = await panel.get_system_information()
print(info.model_name, info.firmware_version)
asyncio.run(main())
```
For the panel walkthrough — connect, list zones, react to push events — see the [tutorial](https://hai-omni-pro-ii.warehack.ing/tutorials/first-script/).
## Quick start (Home Assistant)
```bash
# Manual install — works on every HA flavour
cd /path/to/your/homeassistant/config/
mkdir -p custom_components
cd custom_components
git clone https://git.supported.systems/warehack.ing/omni-pca tmp-omni
cp -r tmp-omni/custom_components/omni_pca .
rm -rf tmp-omni
```
Restart HA, then add the integration via **Settings → Devices & Services**. You'll need:
- Panel IP / hostname
- TCP port (default 4369)
- ControllerKey as 32 hex chars
Get the ControllerKey from your `.pca` file using the bundled CLI:
```bash
omni-pca decode-pca '/path/to/Your.pca' --field controller_key
```
The integration creates one HA device per panel plus typed entities for every named object on the controller: `alarm_control_panel` for areas, `light` for units, `binary_sensor` + `switch` for zones (state + bypass), `climate` for thermostats, `sensor` for analog zones and panel telemetry, `button` for panel macros, and `event` for the typed push-notification stream. See [`custom_components/omni_pca/README.md`](custom_components/omni_pca/README.md) for the full entity + service catalog, or the [HA install how-to](https://hai-omni-pro-ii.warehack.ing/how-to/install-in-home-assistant/) for the step-by-step.
## Without a panel — mock controller
The library ships a stateful `MockPanel` that emulates the controller side of the protocol over real TCP. Useful for offline development, integration tests, and demos:
```python
from omni_pca.mock_panel import MockPanel
async with MockPanel(controller_key=...).serve(port=14369):
# Connect a real OmniClient to localhost:14369 — full handshake + AES
...
```
The local dev stack (`dev/docker-compose.yml`) packages a real Home Assistant container and the mock panel side-by-side so you can click through the integration without touching real hardware. See [the dev-stack tutorial](https://hai-omni-pro-ii.warehack.ing/tutorials/dev-stack/).
## Tests
```bash
uv sync --group ha
uv run pytest -q
```
351 tests across the protocol primitives, the mock panel, the OmniClient ↔ MockPanel end-to-end roundtrip, and an in-process Home Assistant harness driving the integration via the real config flow + service calls.
