Control tado hot water switch

Third party integrations
21

Hi,

After update to core-2021.2.0, they changed the names of tado sensors.
The new sensor binary_sensor.hot_water_power is always in “on” state does not matter whether I switch on or off hot water control in tado application.

Does anyone have the same experience?
I want to find a way to start automation if someone switches hot water heater on externally (in the tado app).

PS It looks like the sensor binary_sensor.hot_water_overlay changes its value to on or off if I switch hot water manually. Very bizarre…

I added the stock YAML script to the configuration.yaml file and then called the service in node red

Example script to set a timer for the water heater with no temperature specified

script:
boost_heating:
sequence:
- service: tado.set_climate_timer
target:
entity_id: climate.heating
data:
time_period: “01:30:00”
temperature: 25
- service: tado.set_water_heater_timer
target:
entity_id: water_heater.hot_water
data:
time_period: “01:30:00”

Is there any update to this ? Its now January 2023 and I still can’t see any way to control the hot water via the homekit integration (the tado cloud integration works perfectly, but it would be nice to have full local control).
