omni-pca/README.md
Ryan Malloy 83d85a9885 HA Phase C: services + diagnostics + README polish
custom_components/omni_pca/services.yaml — declares 7 services with
config_entry selectors so HA's UI gives users a panel picker:
  bypass_zone, restore_zone, execute_program, show_message,
  clear_message, acknowledge_alerts, send_command (raw escape hatch)

custom_components/omni_pca/services.py — async handlers wired via
async_setup_services on entry setup; idempotent across multiple entries.
Each handler validates entry_id, looks up the right coordinator, calls
the matching OmniClient method. CommandFailedError wrapped to
HomeAssistantError; unknown Command codes raise ServiceValidationError.
async_unload_services removes them when the last entry unloads.

custom_components/omni_pca/diagnostics.py — async_get_config_entry_
diagnostics dumps a redacted snapshot for bug reports: panel model +
firmware, discovered/live counts per object type, sha256-hashed zone/
unit/area names (so uniqueness is visible without leaking PII), last
event class, controller key REDACTED via async_redact_data.

custom_components/omni_pca/__init__.py — wires async_setup_services on
entry setup and async_unload_services on the last entry unload.

custom_components/omni_pca/README.md — full entity table, service list,
example automation, troubleshooting section, link to JOURNEY.md.

Top-level README — entity rundown updated to reflect the full v1.0
surface (was: 'binary_sensor for zones').

331 tests still pass; ruff clean across src/ tests/ custom_components/.
hacs.json already in place from initial scaffold.

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/).

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.

See docs/PROTOCOL.md for the full byte-level spec.

Quick start (library)

uv add omni-pca
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_info()
        print(info.model_name, info.firmware_version)

asyncio.run(main())

Quick start (Home Assistant)

Copy custom_components/omni_pca/ into your HA config/custom_components/, 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 included parser:

uvx --from omni-pca 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 for the entity table and service list.

Without a panel — mock controller

For testing, the library ships a minimal Omni controller emulator:

from omni_pca.mock_panel import MockPanel

async with MockPanel(controller_key=...).serve(port=14369):
    # connect a real OmniClient to localhost:14369 — works end-to-end
    ...

Versioning

Date-based (CalVer): YYYY.M.D. Bumped on backwards-incompatible changes.
