Minut Point

The Point hub enables integration with the Minut Point.

Prerequisites

Before adding the integration to Home Assistant, you need to get Minut Point application credentials.

  1. Navigate to the API-client | Minut dashboard and Create client:

    • Enter a Name for your client (this is just an identifier).
    • Enter https://my.home-assistant.io/redirect/oauth in the Redirect URI field.

  2. Get the ClientID and ClientSecret for the new client and store them in a safe place. You need them to complete the integration setup in Home Assistant.

If you are a Kickstarter backer, you need to send an email to hello@minut.com to retrieve the ClientID and ClientSecret. Don’t forget to mention that the Redirect URI should be https://my.home-assistant.io/redirect/oauth.

Configuration

To add the Minut Point integration to your Home Assistant instance, use this My button:

Manual configuration steps

If the above My button doesn’t work, you can also perform the following steps manually:

  • Browse to your Home Assistant instance.

  • Go to Settings > Devices & Services.

  • In the bottom right corner, select the Add Integration button.

  • From the list, select Minut Point.

  • Follow the instructions on screen to complete the setup.

Device types

The integration supports the following device types within Home Assistant:

Note

The Point is just active occasionally so the sensors are only updated every hour or so. The binary sensors are however updated via Cloud Push, making the changes close to instant.

Alarm

Each home configured in the Point mobile application will show up as a separate alarm control panel. The panels allow arming and disarming of the Point home alarm system.

Note

The Point only supports a Arm/Disarm action, so it is only Arm Away that is implemented.

Binary sensor

Each Point exposes the following binary sensors:

  • alarm: On means alarm sound was recognized, Off means normal
  • battery: On means low, Off means normal
  • button_press: On means the button was pressed, Off means normal
  • cold: On means cold, Off means normal
  • connectivity: On means connected, Off means disconnected
  • dry: On means too dry, Off means normal
  • glass: On means the sound of glass break was detected, Off means normal
  • heat: On means hot, Off means normal
  • light: On means light detected, Off means no light
  • moisture: On means moisture detected (wet), Off means no moisture (dry)
  • motion: On means motion was detected, Off means no motion
  • noise: On means noise was detected, Off means noise levels have gone back to normal
  • sound: On means sound detected, Off means no sound (clear)
  • tamper: On means the point was removed, Off means normal
  • tamper_old: On means the point was removed or attached, Off means normal (this is only supported on some “old” devices)

Note

The binary sensors button_press, sound and tamper are switched On for a brief moment and are then switched back to Off.

Automation example

The following example show how to implement an automation for the button_press binary sensor.

# Example configuration.yaml Automation entry
automation:
  alias: "Point button press"
  triggers:
  - trigger: state
    entity_id: binary_sensor.point_button_press  # Change this accordingly
    to: "on"
  actions:
  - action: persistent_notification.create
    data:
      title: Point button press
      message: Point button was pressed.

Webhook events

The events shown as binary sensors are sent to Home Assistant as webhooks with the event_type set to point_webhook_received. Below is an example of how to use such a webhook do note the trigger.event.data.event.device_id which translates to the id of the Point device that sent the event.

# Example configuration.yaml Automation entry
automation:
  alias: "Point button press (webhook)"
  triggers:
  - trigger: event
    event_type: point_webhook_received
    event_data: {}
  conditions:
    - condition: template
      value_template: "{{ trigger.event.data.event.type == 'short_button_press' }}"
  actions:
  - action: persistent_notification.create
    data:
      title: Point button press (webhook)
      message: "Button press on Point {{ trigger.event.data.event.device_id }}"

Sensor

Each Point exposes the following sensors:

  • temperature: Temperature in °C.
  • humidity: Percentage of humidity in the air.
  • sound_level: Sound level in dBA
