Valve entity error log
Closed this issue · 5 comments
I recently add a water timer controller that use two valve entities. And with this configuration:
irrigation_unlimited: granularity: 60 refresh_interval: 30 controllers: - name: 'Rega Horta e Plantas' zones: - name: Rega Horta entity_id: valve.dual_water_timer_wt05_rega_horta_valve_1 show: # <= Add these two lines to the timeline: true # <= configuration for individual zones schedules: - time: "08:00" duration: "00:03:00" month: [apr, may, oct]
I get the following error:
2024-04-27 00:51:25.166 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.homeassistant] The service homeassistant.turn_off does not support entities valve.dual_water_timer_wt05_rega_horta_valve_1
Is this supported?
https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/valve/#valve-control-services
Or I should open a feature request.
Thank you very much.
The documentation does state
These can be any entity from the switch or light platforms or anything that supports the turn_on and turn_off actions.
So in theory that may work. Home assistant introduced valves with the Jan 2024 release only, so that may require an update on the irrigation unlimited switch entity.
I am running everything on KNX so I am waiting for a valve device type specifically on KNX to then adapt my switches to it.
@rgc99 can you maybe check if device type valve is supported? If not it should be relatively easy to integrate as you already support switch and light device type. Thanks!
@evercape I tried in the developer tools to use the homeassistant.turn_off with a valve entity and it fails. The service to be used must be valve.close (and valve.open). I'm not sure if this fits as a bug but maybe as a feature request since as you mentioned the valve entities are quite new in HA.
yes good point. I am sure it's simple to add.
For those on KNX I have requested to add valve type to KNX as well.
The valve domain is not currently supported. A work around is to track the state with an automation similar to what is shown in the documentation for a cover. You might also be able to create a switch type alias for the valve but I am not sure on this.
Best to handle it natively. Please open a feature request.
Feature request opened.
