LaMetric TIME Transport Adaptor¶
Motivation¶
LaMetric TIME is a popular IoT display device with native Home Assistant integration (auto-discovered via mDNS/SSDP). The HA lametric integration exposes two services: lametric.message (text notifications) and lametric.chart (bar chart data).
While LaMetric can be used with the Generic Transport for basic text, this integration adds:
- Map SuperNotify's 5-level priority to LaMetric's display parameters (cycles, sound, icon, icon_type) automatically
- Send bar chart data (lametric.chart) for sensor visualization (temperature, CPU, battery)
- Apply icon type selection (alert = red flashing, info = blue, none) per priority
- Provide per-priority defaults for sound effects (alarm1, knock-knock, notification)
Requirements¶
- Home Assistant LaMetric integration installed and configured (auto-discovery)
device_idavailable in HA device registry (Settings → Devices → LaMetric → Device ID)- No additional Python packages required
Priority Mapping¶
Priority Mapping
SuperNotify priority → LaMetric display parameters (all auto-applied, all overridable):
| SuperNotify | LaMetric priority | cycles | icon_type | sound | icon |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| critical. | critical | 0 (∞) | alert. | alarm1 | a1784 |
| high | warning | 2 | alert | knock-knock | i140 |
| medium | info | 1 | info | notification | i2867 |
| low | info | 1 | none | (silent) | i2867 |
| minimum | info | 1 | none | (silent) | — |
All lametric_* keys are removed from `data before calling the underlying LaMetric Home Assistant action.
Example Configuration¶
Supernotify configuration snippet
# Minimal — device_id required, all other params auto from priority
deliveries:
- name: lametric
transport: lametric
data:
device_id: "49b6e2186ef37e164818aacb9cea1f53"
# Doorbell — explicit overrides
- name: lametric_campanello
transport: lametric
data:
device_id: "49b6e2186ef37e164818aacb9cea1f53"
lametric_sound: "knock-knock"
lametric_icon: "i140"
lametric_icon_type: "alert"
lametric_cycles: 2
# Bar chart — temperature sensor (last 6 readings)
- name: lametric_temperatura
transport: lametric
data:
device_id: "49b6e2186ef37e164818aacb9cea1f53"
lametric_chart_data: [18, 20, 22, 21, 23, 24]
lametric_cycles: 3
Example Call¶
This example presumes Supernotify configured with this delivery.
Supernotify configuration snippet
lametric_test:
transport: lametric
selection: explicit
data:
device_id: "<lametric-device-uuid>"
lametric_icon: "i2867"
lametric_sound: "notification"
Then call this action ...
action: notify.supernotify
data:
message: "Test transport nativo LaMetric - Se vedi questo sul display LaMetric, funziona!"
data:
delivery_selection: fixed
delivery:
lametric_test:
enabled: true
And the resulting archived notification looks like:
{
"delivered": 1, "failed": 0, "error_count": 0,
"stats": { "total_duration_ms": 8.5, "delivery_success_rate": 1.0 },
"deliveries": {
"lametric_test": {
"delivered": [{
"calls": [{
"domain": "lametric", "action": "message",
"action_data": {
"device_id": "<uuid>",
"message": "Test transport nativo LaMetric - ...",
"cycles": 1,
"priority": "info",
"icon_type": "info",
"icon": "i2867",
"sound": "notification"
},
"elapsed": 0.0085,
"failed_calls": []
}]
}]
}
}
}
