Feature Request: Make on/off and Mode a single entity
MegaBarf opened this issue · 7 comments
Hi
great work! I was working on something like that but more complicated as I'm not good at programming ;-)
I was trying to get it run as a rest sensor via the api but I never had the time to actually get this to work.
I would like to have the on/off and the modes as single entity not as "controls" to use it for my functions.
My plan is to turn the device on and off or change the mode via an scheduler and the automation. I'm not using the auto humidity function.
Thank you so much.
Hey,
I am not sure what do you mean, this should be already available via standard home assistant services e.g. humidifier.turn_on / humidifer.turn_off / humidifier.set_mode that you can run in automation.
Is this what you need?
Hi.
Thank you for your fast reply. I'm relatively new to home assistant and I just found the services ;-)
I tried setting up an automation with humidifier.turn_on / humidifer.turn_off and a toggle helper but it's not working.
I tried to call the service at the development tools / services tab but my humidifier (AH555) is not responding. Your card works perfectly fine.
Could it be related to #1 where you have to send the complete informations?
$ curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST "$VENTA_LOCAL_IP/api/telemetry?request=set" -d '{
"Power": 0,
"Automatic": 0,
"SleepMode": 0,
"FanSpeed": 1,
"Action": "control"
}'
Strange, this is exactly the same functionality that the humidifier entity uses. By default turn_on/off sends everything as mentioned in #1. What happens if you use humidifier.set_mode with level 1? Maybe there is something different in AH555 :/
Hi
nothing happens, see picture
I switched to YAML mode, see second picture. Could it be that there is something missing? I'm mor a Hardware than a Software guy ;-)
Happy new Year!
You need to specify either device or an entity (blue or green button in graphic mode / proper ids in yaml mode). This is the same for on/off service.
Ahh damnit...
those buttons were so obvious that accidentally I ignored them even in the automation...
Now it's working, thank you very much.
I guess the bug sat in front of the screen again.
Happy new Year
Great it works ;)
Happy new year!
