Can you control the scheduling through HA?
I’ve bought two W500 thermostats and installed one on a water UFH and the other on electric UFH. They both show in HA using ZHA after switching to zigbee using the mobile app, no hub required. I think there’s still a few issues though, on the electric one the power is reporting 10x less than it should. The cumulative sensor and my smart meter reported 6kWh over 3 hours which means it’s about 2kW, but the sensor is showing around 200W. The floor stat does not seem to report anything, not sure if a sensor exists. Lastly it has a few sliders for min max and calibration I think, not sure what they’re meant to do. Key thing is it reports temp and humidity and I can turn on and off the heating from HA
I’ve bought one W500, hoping to buy 3 more to replace 4 old electrical underfloor heating thermostats, if we can get it working well. Today I’ve been testing it hooked up to a portable oil heater.
I don’t have a Aqara hub, and was able to get it into Zigbee mode with the app, just as @gonzague said. Integrated using ZHA.
The GUI lock-ups, for me, are by far the biggest issue. They impact both the app and the webpage. For me, they seem to be triggered only by the “Max Heat Set Limit” entity (but not the Min Set Limit). I created a test dashboard with all the other entities added, and saw no lockups. (Unfortunately, anytime you go into the device, you see that entity and trigger the lockup.)
Here’s my experience so far from basic point-and-click setup.
Some of the other entities have issues:
Power seems to display at 10% of real value. My oil heater is approx 1400W, HA reports approx 140W. I guess it’s just failing to scale the reported value properly.
Temperature and switch entities seem totally non-functional, but the equivalents in the theromstat card displays and work correctly.
Temp offset works, corrects the display on the device LCD.
Humidity matches the LCD.
Thermostat card in HA seems to work perfectly.
I’m not sure if this is going to help anyone, but figured it might.
Hello !
Bought the W500 as well to try it out.
Succesfully added it to Home Assistant by using ZHA but as @agd said, the “Max Heat Set Limit” is making the page freeze.
Test results are quite the same as well, temperature doesn’t works at all, offset is OK and Thermostat card is working well.
I guess we just have to wait for an official update for compatibility…
