Fluss+
The Fluss+ integrationIntegrations connect and integrate Home Assistant with your devices, services, and more. [Learn more] allows you to control Fluss+ devices through Home Assistant. Fluss turns your phone into a remote key that can open your garage, your gate, your door or even the parking at your office - giving you complete control. The Home Assistant integration allows you to trigger Fluss+ devices via Wi-Fi to open or close a connected motor device.
Prerequisites
- A Fluss+ device physically connected to your appliance, for example a garage door opener.
- A Fluss+ device claimed and connected to Wi-Fi.
- An API key for your Fluss+ device.
- A Home Assistant instance set up and running.
- (Optional) Remote access to reach your Fluss+ device from anywhere.
Enabling remote access to your Home Assistant instance—via port forwarding, tunnels, DuckDNS, or any other method—exposes your system to the internet. It increases the risk of unauthorized access, security breaches, or compromise of connected devices, including your Fluss+ controls.
We are not responsible for any security issues, data loss, unauthorized control of your devices, property damage, personal injury, or other consequences that may result from improper configuration, vulnerabilities, weak credentials, or external attacks.
Set up remote access only if you fully understand the risks and have implemented strong security measures, such as HTTPS, multi-factor authentication, IP banning, regular updates, and preferably a VPN or Home Assistant Cloud instead of direct exposure.
Proceed entirely at your own risk. If in doubt, keep Home Assistant local-only and avoid exposing it remotely.

Supported functionality
Every Fluss+ device is exposed as a button. If the device also has the open/close status sensor installed, a cover entity is added alongside the button.
Button
A button in Home Assistant represents a Fluss device you have access to. You can press the button for a certain device via Wi-Fi, and it will then send a command to the connected device (like a garage door opener).
Example
If you have access to three devices in the Fluss+ app, named “Home Garage Door,” “Front Gate,” and “Office Park,” Home Assistant will display three buttons, each labeled with the corresponding device name. Pressing the “Home Garage Door” button sends a command to the Fluss+ device connected to your garage door opener, which will then trigger the motor to open / close. The same applies to the other devices.
Cover
If your Fluss+ device reports a status sensor (open or closed state of the connected motor), Home Assistant creates a cover entity for it with the Garage device class. You can open and close the cover from the Home Assistant UI or from automations and see its current state.
If you don’t have a sensor installed yet and would like to see the open or closed status of your device, see the Fluss+ sensor installation guide.
Data updates
The integration pollsData polling is the process of querying a device or service at regular intervals to check for updates or retrieve data. By defining a custom polling interval, you can control how frequently your system checks for new data, which can help optimize performance and reduce unnecessary network traffic. [Learn more] the Fluss+ cloud API every 30 minutes for updated device status. After you open or close a cover, the integration also schedules an additional status refresh, so the entity state catches up without waiting for the next scheduled poll. This ensures the entity reflects its new position without waiting for the next scheduled poll.
