Multiple Heating Devices via Home Assistant integration

Opened this issue · 8 comments

I use the ViCare integration to Home Assistant and I think underneath it's using this library. Now I added a second heating device to my account and it's not showing up. Is this use-case in planning or is there anything I can do to help to support this?

Meanwhile I found the place in the integration where the devices are loaded and prepared a PR home-assistant/core#96044 to implement this.

Hi, will your PR also help to show radiators and room sensors in HA?

With the code from the PR, all devices will be iterated. If any sensor is created depends of the sensor definitions that are already maintained in the integration. I don't have such devices, you're welcome to test it.

@CFenner Hi Christopher, I was looking forward to that. But the Radiators a not populated with the change.

The feature was added in the HACS integration:
oischinger/ha_vicare@65fd645

There is a smal hint that might be relevant:

RadiatorActuator have no circuits but also create a climate entity.

Could that be the cause why the radiator devices won't be ppulated with the offifial HA Integration?
I tried it with the custom one and they are there...

Thx for your work anyway!

Yes, currently climate entities are only created for circuits.

Good to know!

I hope that somebody can add that definition to the official repro as well…
I don’t know if this might be a rather big change or small addition.

In my second life I will become a python programmer so that I could add stuff myself…

If this CR would be productiv, that would be great. Have a heatpump and an oilburner. Now i buyed a second vitoconnect (for the oilburner), but cant add this values to home assistant :-(

@CFenner Hi Christopher, would you mind to answer me some question related to the PyVicare development e.g. on discord?
