custom_components/omni_pca/coordinator.py — full rewrite:
- Long-lived OmniClient for entry lifetime
- One-shot discovery: system info + zone/unit/area/thermostat/button names
via list_*_names + per-index get_object_properties
- Periodic poll (30s default): get_extended_status for zones/units/thermostats,
get_object_status for areas, skip empty discoveries
- Background _run_event_listener task consuming client.events(), patches
state in-place and async_set_updated_data on push:
ZoneStateChanged -> patch zone_status raw byte
UnitStateChanged -> patch unit_status state, preserve brightness
ArmingChanged -> patch area_status mode + last_user
AlarmActivated/Cleared -> trigger refresh
AcLost/Restored, BatteryLow/Restored -> recorded for sensors
- InvalidEncryptionKeyError/HandshakeError -> ConfigEntryAuthFailed (HA reauth)
- OmniConnectionError/RequestTimeoutError -> UpdateFailed + drop client
- Event task cancelled in async_shutdown
custom_components/omni_pca/binary_sensor.py — full rewrite:
- OmniZoneBinarySensor per discovered zone (device class from zone type:
smoke/water/freeze use latched-alarm bit; doors/motion use current condition)
- OmniZoneBypassedBinarySensor per zone (DIAGNOSTIC, PROBLEM)
- OmniSystemAcBinarySensor (POWER, prefers AcLost/AcRestored push)
- OmniSystemBatteryBinarySensor (BATTERY)
- OmniSystemTroubleBinarySensor (PROBLEM)
custom_components/omni_pca/helpers.py — pure functions extracted for testing:
- device_class_for_zone_type, is_binary_zone_type, use_latched_alarm_for_zone,
prettify_name. 61 unit tests in tests/test_ha_helpers.py.
docs/JOURNEY.md — 4383-word raw chronological retrospective of the whole
arc from binary archive to working library. 18 dated sections including
the 2191-byte magic-number header validation moment, the two non-public
protocol quirks, the offline-panel comedy. Source material for future
writeups (intentionally raw, not polished).
264 tests pass (was 203, +61 helper tests). Ruff clean across all dirs.
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:
- Session key is not the ControllerKey. Last 5 bytes are XORed with a controller-supplied SessionID nonce.
- 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
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.
