Bosch Smart Home

Feature Requests

A good evening to everyone,

first of all, thanks for this awesome and very stable integration.

I have a question to a feature of the motion detector. The original Bosch Smart Home App has a feature, to trigger automations via the detected brightness of the motion detector. Is there any way to get this value in home assitant to use it for automations?

So that the lights in a room should be activated if motion is detected and the brightness of the room ist below a certain value?

Thanks for your reply :slight_smile:

Hi @Kroeger02, the brightness of a room is available via a service, however I cannot implement this service at the moment, as my batteries of the motion sensor are empty :grimacing:
You can create an issue and dump the results of a rawscan for the services of the motion detector. I then can see if I can implement it based on the provided information.
For more information of rawscans, see GitHub - tschamm/boschshcpy: Bosch Smart Home Controller API Python Library

Hey @tschamm

thanks for your reply.

I tried to do a rawscan, but if i want to register the registration process ends with an error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

No further information of the error?

Hi
can you show the command line used ?
sounds a bit like a parameter was not set correctly or not given at all and Python-Script didn’t check them?

Not sure about Python 3.11 btw, in HA it is not yet supported to my best knowledge.

I fixed the error now. Seems to happen only when attributes are checked.

333

I use the DoorWindowContact Serie 1 and 2, but only Serie 1 is shown in the Home Assistant.

Did i miss something or should i wait? Thanks for helping

334

Support is given in the custom component already, but not yet in the official integration.

Hey Tscham, thanks for your reply…ill try it on the weekend and give a feedback. I think i need to download the latest version with the fix of the Issue mentioned above?

336

Yes, that’s correct :+1:

337

Is it possible to open or close the valve immediately? I want to do the following: When pressing an Ikea button the thermostat should open the valve and after a set time (i.e. 3 minutes) the valve should immediately turn off and not after a while where the thermostats thinks, ok now it’s the right time to turn off :grin:

338

Controlling the valve position directly is not possible. You can set the heating to low (which is off) mode.

339

But does it turn off immediately or let say in 10-20 secs if I put the temperature to i.e. 5°C ?

Hi, with the update to Hass 2023.05.0, the Bosch integration does not work any longer for me. Error message from the log: AttributeError: ConfigEntries object has no attribute async_setup_platforms

341

I will check, I assume this is due to a depreciated method call.

342

Same here, error says:

Yesterday, there was an update by @tschamm - to be found in the git repo. I updated all files and now it works again for me. Thanks a lot!

Hi all,

I have being using a Bosch Universal Switch for a while to trigger some automations using Bosch SHC integration. Long press was working ok (although a “too long”-press triggered the automation twice, easily avoidable after getting use to the long-press touch feeling).

After the rollout of the new Bosch Smart Home Controller update today (SW version 10.14.2915-28718, HW version 1.0), automations triggered by the Bosch Universal Switch with Long press (up or down) mostly don’t work and when they do, the delay is very long (more than 5 seconds). Automations with Short press (up or down) work good and reaction time is as fast as previously. I have the latest Bosch SHC integration by @tschamm.

I have restarted few times HA and the Bosch Controller, but the behaviour remains unchanged.

Is that happening to anyone else?

(My setup: HA running on a raspberry Pi Model 4 B with HA OS v2023.5.3)

Hi
I apologize if my question is slightly off-topic but I couldn’t find the answer elsewhere online and you guys seem to be familiar with the Bosch system AND Home Assistant :slight_smile:

I’m interested in the Bosch Smart Home Plug with power metering for measuring the power consumption of my washing machine.
I‘m using Home Assistant SkyConnect as my Zigbee coordinator. Will the Bosch plug work with SkyConnect? Or would I absolutely need the Bosch Hub?

346

If I were you I’d look beyond Bosch for that functionality. I use Shelly for my power metering (and smart switches) as they are a dedicated smart home system. I bought our Bosch dishwasher because it was universally acclaimed as a dishwasher. Smart home integration isn’t as important as a device doing its job well IME.
