Features

This add-on:

• Fetches all device metadata from the Futurehome hub and maps them to Home Assistant devices/entities.
• Fetches and updates device states and availability in real time.
• Supports interaction with devices comparable to the official Futurehome app.
• Supports pairing and unpairing devices.

Installation Guide

See the full Installation Guide for step-by-step setup instructions.

Futurehome Device Services Compatibility Chart

This chart lists all services supported by the Futurehome hub, along with their current implementation status.

Devices commonly consist of multiple services: for example, a presence sensor might expose a sensor_presence service with a presence (true/false) value, and also a battery service if it is battery-powered.

Some services are more common than others; some are deprecated entirely.

FAQ

Q: But I thought Futurehome was going to disable the local API after a short grace period, as stated in the Subscription FAQ. What gives?

While that was initially stated, the latest hub firmware keeps the local API open indefinitely. There is currently no built-in mechanism in the firmware to disable it after a certain period, unless you update to a newer firmware. This has also been confirmed in the updated Subscription FAQ.

By using both public and reverse-engineered local APIs, this add-on is able to fully replicate the functionality of the Futurehome app.
