[Velux](https://www.velux.com/) {% term integration %} for Home Assistant allows you to connect to a Velux KLF 200 interface, to control [io-homecontrol](http://www.io-homecontrol.com) devices like windows and blinds. The module allows you to start scenes configured within KLF 200.

At least firmware version > 2.0.0.0 is required on the KLF 200 device. The firmware images may be obtained from the [vendor's website](https://www.velux.com/klf200) and may be imported via the web interface of your KLF 200.

There is currently support for the following device types within Home Assistant:

- Binary sensor (reports rain detection for windows that support it)
- Cover
- Light
- Scene

Rain sensors of supported windows do not report automatically and must be polled every 5 minutes. For this reason, they are disabled by default, because polling uses more radio bandwidth and battery power than simply reporting changed window positions.

{% include integrations/config_flow.md %}

During configuration, you will be asked for a hostname and password:

- Hostname: enter the IP address of the KLF 200 gateway.
- Password: enter the password of the gateway's wireless access point (printed on the underside - **not** the web login password).

You must complete the configuration within 5 minutes of rebooting the KLF 200 gateway while the access point is still available.

## Actions

### Action `velux.reboot_gateway`

Reboots the configured KLF 200 gateway.

In Home Assistant versions up to 2024.12.x, it was recommended to create an automation to reboot the KLF 200 gateway before shutting down or restarting Home Assistant. This automated reboot is now built into the integration, so you no longer need to create a separate automation.

## Velux Active (KIX 300)

The Velux Active (KIX 300) set is not supported by this {% term integration %}. To integrate Velux Active (KIX 300) with Home Assistant, you can use the [HomeKit Controller](/integrations/homekit_controller) {% term integration %} and get full control over your windows, curtains, covers, the air quality sensor KLA 300, etc.

Add the Velux Active gateway using HomeKit pairing (with the pairing code on the sticker at the bottom of the Velux Active gateway) and the devices connected to the gateway - including sensors - will be automatically discovered and added to Home Assistant.
