B-Logicx upgrades

Some modules are no longer needed

With a NWM / NWX and this Home Assistant integration, HA is already on the B-Logicx bus. That means a separate B-Logicx WiFi path for switches is no longer needed.

ST2, ST4, and WRL provide a way to link B-Logicx to a (dedicated) WiFi network and control switches or actions remotely.

Because this integration monitors and controls the bus directly, for new wireless switches and actuators you can often choose what Home Assistant already supports well — for example Shelly, Zigbee, Matter, or another HA integration — and let those work together in HA with your existing B-Logicx members (RLMs, SoftMs, Sfeer, RTC, …).

You then avoid building a second, parallel control network beside the bus; HA is the shared layer.

Example: use a Niko switch with an INM to switch a Shelly or Zigbee socket (very cheap to get on Amazon or at IKEA).

Automations

RLM

B-Logicx provides one AND and one OR gate per RLM, as well as a stepper (sequence) automaton.

INM

Each INM includes a ‘Virtual control’ and a ‘Software Member Timer’.

This integration

With Home Assistant, much more complex automations become possible — without the same limits, and across technology boundaries. For example:

With Zigbee window/door sensors: do not allow the roller blind to close while the window is still open, to avoid damage.
Read the tariff from your digital meter (or online if pricing is set per quarter-hour) and switch non-priority loads via RLMs on and off against threshold values.
Turn your boiler on or off with an RLM, based on solar-panel yield. Read that directly from the inverter, and even take the weather forecast into account.
