Feature request: Support PIR remotes (non-CVE add-on / DF/QF)
Closed this issue · 12 comments
It would be great if also PIR remotes can be emulated. PIR remote can be used to ventilate the connected room (e.g. toilet) for a shorter time and with less flow (25 m3/h) than the default timer flow of 75 m3/h. A central PIR sensor can trigger away/at home status
Can't you use a PIR sensor and just send a command for medium (as example) when said PIR sensor detects motion in toilet?
I don't really see the value of adding a remote that only send a medium command.
For example, i can use my philips hue motion detector (PIR), which also turns on my light in toilet, to send an extra command to my itho. Which I would set to timer.
Maybe. I don't know how PIR is exactly implemented. There is some additional logic in the demandflow unit I guess as there is different behavior depending on the room type:
With the normal Timer30 function the flow goes always to 75 m³/h, with the PIR the flow goes to 25 m³/h.
The PIR sensor can aslo be connected as a central sensor and will function as "at home" or "away" sensor and put the system in the associated state. I don't know if this can be done on another way. If so it is not needed.
In that case you send it a medium? command and to change it back to auto after X minutes.
But i see what you mean now, that table makes more sense. By adding the PIR remote, you can just tell system to do that.
In order for Arjen to add that remote, someone needs to buy it and sniff it out. Or send him a remote :-D
Currently I'm sending "Low" which gives 25 m³/h and after 15 minutes I send "Auto".
And indeed, I'm trying to get a (second hand) PIR sensor.

Tip, buy it online. Grab the i2c commands. Send these to Arjen. Return the product within 14days. Profit.
The PIR sensor is not sold anymore unfortunately, so second hand seems the only option
In that case, i guess your current workflow does exactly what you want. With that table, you can copy the workflow of the RF-PIR in HA or whatever home automation you use.

RFT-PIR device support should be working in upcoming 2.7.0 release

Should it work in the current beta already? I did have upgrade to the beta and did have a quick look but didn't see this remote.
No sorry not yet. I forgot to check the stash in and include it in the beta. The commit can be found here:

and will be included in the next build.
With the commit you can checkout the code yourself and built a firmware file if you like.
Should be available with https://github.com/arjenhiemstra/ithowifi/releases/tag/Version-2.7.0
