Energy sensor

Hi,
Do you have any plans for adding energy sensors (switching actuators with EMS)?

Answer 1 · 2021-11-26T14:17:38.000Z

Sadly, I don't. I just don't have those at home to code and test the integration. However, I'm happy to work with somebody who knows Python a bit, have HA + xComfort SHA and could help with coding

Answer 2 · 2021-11-26T16:33:25.000Z

I have HA and XComfort SHC and would be more than happy to assist. However I am a novice when it comes to coding.

Answer 3 · 2021-12-12T12:24:51.000Z

I'll write some additional functionality to the integration to allow capturing debug information and testing API without heavy changes in the code. Stay tuned

That sounds great!

Answer 5 · 2021-12-15T15:11:28.000Z

As starting point I'd need logs from xcomfort API. You need to update the integration to version >1.3 and call service XComfort SHC: save_status_files. This will save 2 files in config folder: xcomfort_devices and xcomfort_log_stats. I'd need both files. This should help me develop updated version which I'll share with you for testing purposes via private repository

Great, will do

Here you go https://github.com/plamish/xcomfort2mqtt
You can use this broker to see all events from xComfort in your HA. It shouldn't be an issue to map button with HA sensor and use it for automations.
Enjoy

I am impressed! Is it possible to communicate in private?

Answer 9 · 2021-12-22T21:04:35.000Z

I invited you to private repository xcomfort_ems where we can trial and error code for ems. Accept an invite and open issue there

Answer 10 · 2021-12-22T21:43:06.000Z

hmmm, can't find the invite.

Hi, just found this topic. I would like to get all my energi sources in to HA. I already have your xcomfort integration running and has worked flawlessly for a long time. But i have only used it for lights. Now i want to controll and read out energy usage of floor heating actuators (EMS). Same as jansog wanted. What is best right now. To use the MQTT integration or the one that I already have ? :-)

Answer 13 · 2022-08-15T15:32:07.000Z

Tried, no energy readings appear with the old integration..... Maybe i have to use the MQTT integration
