BHT-6000 Thermostat (tuya) support

Hello to all and specially to @Fraschi.

@Fraschi did a lot of work with this plugin. Thanks to him.

Unfortunatelly ATM custom component doesn’t work with HA 0.99.2.

As I can see from the code there are some caveats.

  1. Plugin uses old climate integration constants. I have modified STATE_HEAT to HVAC_MODE_HEAT and so in. Some constans doesn’t have analogs in new version. for example STATE_ECO. Now You need to use PRESET_ECO with mode HVAC_MODE_HEAT.
  2. Plugin require pytuya package. It is not included in HASSIO 0.99.2. Maybe it can be included in customized_components/localtuya. I didn’t test it ATM.

I can try to help @Fraschi if he need so but I’m not a python programmer.

Cheers.

Yes, I know. Actually I’ve modded my devices by changing the firmware (https://github.com/klausahrenberg/ThermostatBecaWifi), so I will not update that plugin anymore.

With the mod i can use the device as a full supported mqtt thermostat, it’s much simplier and I will not have the migration/compatibility problem anymore.

In previous migration I’ve made some copy/paste from other (already migrated) thermostat in home assistant climate. Usually the best is change the code (the latest i’ve provided) by matching it with the “generic thermostat” or similiar devices (https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/tree/dev/homeassistant/components/generic_thermostat)

@Fraschi thanks for an answer.

I supposed You have switched to FW change method. :wink: I think about too.

Did You soldered wires to your thermostats or used OTA method? https://github.com/ct-Open-Source/tuya-convert.

I’ve soldered wires, didn’t know about ota on stock devices

OK guys,

Update: I don’t understand how to attach files. May some help me with that?
Update1 I have posted climate.py file content.
Update2 I forgot I have hardcoded protocol version. Have updated a code.
Update3 Author of pytuya has updated a component to version 7.0.5. So no more need to “hack” HASSIO. You can just install a component and use it.

I have modified plugin. It’s a very early alfa vetrsion. I don’t promise I will continue a development. :wink:

I don’t know how it will work in reallife. I change parameters over HA and ai see a result from Thermostat. But i’m sure I don’t know all scenarios.

Caveats:

It need pytuya 7.0.4. It is not released on pypi.org. So it cannot be installed automatically by HA. Workaround on HA installed under Linux:

git clone https://github.com/clach04/python-tuya
pip install ./python-tuya

b. Workaround under HASSIO:
It’s hard. You need to enter hassos (ssh://hassio_host:22222) and start login session (just write login and press enter)

Welcome on Hass.io CLI.

For more details use 'help' and 'exit' to close.
If you need access to host system use 'login'.

pytuya                           7.0.4
bash-5.0#

In theory it’s all. At least it works on my site.

!!!Attention!!!

After HASSIO update I think pytuya 7.0.4 will be uninstalled. So it’s better to disable thermostat in configuration, update hassio, install pytuya 7.0.4 and re-enable thermostat in configuration.

modify Your configuration.yaml with this parameters:

climate:
  - platform: localtuya
    host: 192.168.x.x (your thermostat IP)
    local_key: thermostat local_key
    device_id: thermostat local_id
    name: thermostat name
    scan_interval: 5
    min_temp: 5
    max_temp: 35
    protocol_version: 3.3

That should work. Maybe some of You still have old FW and software for thermostat. In that case You can user protocol version 3.1 and You DON’T need pytuya 7.0.4. You can skip steps to install this version. But You need to change requirements in climate.py file

# change this 
REQUIREMENTS = ['pytuya==7.0.4']
# to this
REQUIREMENTS = ['pytuya==7.0.2']

That’s the config for the mqtt way, change the topic accordingly to your setup:

climate:
  - platform: mqtt
    name: Camera
    value_template: >-
      {% set values = {'false':'auto','true':'heat'} %}

                             {% if value_json.manualMode == true %} 
                                heat 
                             {% else %} 
                                auto 
                             {% endif %}

That’s all I’ve configured, To manually turn on/off the thermostat internal relay maybe a workaround is possible: Make a template switch that sets the temperature to max temp / min temp.

Thank you, I don’t know why on 3 thermostats one makes a fuss, when ravvio home assistant lights up and goes off and I have to switch it on manually again.I prvatyo to reset it and ring it but nothing. Thanks cmq for everything.

I’ve similar problem on hass restart (temperature setting was wrong). Probably is something related to mqtt retain. Try to make an automation that sets correct desidered value on hass restart.

You have to add that automations:

- alias: 'hvac_auto camera'
  trigger:
    platform: mqtt
    topic: termostato/camera/mode
    payload: 'auto'
  action:
    service: mqtt.publish
    data_template:
      topic: 'termostato/camera/manualMode'
      payload: 'false'
      
- alias: 'hvac_man camera'
  trigger:
    platform: mqtt
    topic: termostato/camera/mode
    payload: 'heat'
  action:
    service: mqtt.publish
    data_template:
      topic: 'termostato/camera/manualMode'
      payload: 'true'        
        
- alias: 'hvac_off camera'
  trigger:
    platform: mqtt
    topic: termostato/camera/mode
    payload: 'off'
  action:
    - service: mqtt.publish
      data_template:
        topic: 'termostato/camera/manualMode'
        payload: 'true'  
    - service: mqtt.publish
      data_template:
        topic: 'termostato/camera/desiredTemperature'
        payload: '5'  

About schedules and other mqtt commands refer to https://github.com/klausahrenberg/WThermostatBeca
but keep in mind that where the mqtt command is:

<YOUR_TOPIC>/schedules/0

it means

<YOUR_TOPIC>/schedules       

and 0 as PayLoad for readings

for setting the schedules the Payload is in Json Format

Hey, awesome work, if that really works! :slight_smile:

But I can’t get the custom component to work. I’ve created all the files and edited the climate.py file.
How do I get that custom component to show up in my lovelace UI though? I am struggleing with that atm.

Your climate.py file has a syntax error at the end. “_LOGGER.debug(“Update Fail, maybe device busy”)” rather than “_LOGGER.debug(“Update Fail, maybe device busy”)```”

Thanks, fixed that.

I didn’t get your custom component to work though! Does it work for you?
I managed to flash my thermostat with a custom sonoff software and made a mqtt climate component.

Well, yes it does. But, as many people before me and i’m sure after me, I have soldered thermostate and changed firmware. There is one fatal caveat using thermostat with original firmware.
You cannot close internetl access for it. Because there is only one way it cat get current time - by connection to tuya servers. You cannot set NTP server or somethong similar on it.
So, it’s better to change firmware and.

Hi, can you explain your setup to flash the new firmware?
I have a BHT-6000 but I’m not able to put It in programming mode with serial method.
I followed klausahrenberg flashing page but It doesn’t work for my device.
Esptool Is unable to connect.

As I remember I’ve followed the setup in https://github.com/klausahrenberg/WThermostatBeca/blob/2df063b09bcd5a56616c81802e1ade4b8fc4e5db/Flashing.md
Before soldering try the solderless option, I’ve read some good report about that.
For the solder-way try with a different ftdi converter, as I remember, I had some issues with one of mine.

Hi all,
Thanks for all your inspiration here on this thread, especially to Fraschi.
After a lot of time tinkering, I have now 4 BHT-002-GBLW(Wifi) Tuya thermostats flashed with Klaus Ahrenberg’s amazing 3rd party bin file. These thermostats are for electric underfloor heating mats but I am sure it works for the other types as well.

To flash those, I used Tuya convert and followed Digiblurs Video to the dot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dt5-iZc4_qU&t=68s

I used WThermostat_1.00.bin as 0.95 didn’t quite work for me.

Hopefully, this helps someone else but let me know in case you require some further input.

Happy heating!
