Locks working great! I also had to completely install the HACS component. All good though.

Two small things

  1. The get code service doesn’t seem to work. I am using “position: 1” but it’s not returning anything.
  2. Would it be possible to return the code used? This may require that LCM be running on HE but my MakerAPI shows this:
{"device_id":"194","label":"Front Door","name":"lastCodeName","value":"Main Code","date":"2020-02-22T23:24:01+0000","unit":null,"isStateChange":null,"source":"DEVICE"},

Which is great for automations so you know which code was used and it also helps differentiate a code entry vs an unlock from the inside or via z-wave.

I’m loving this so far though!

You can just reinstall without uninstalling.

137

That didn’t work for me, I was previously on 0.44

138

The get code service currently just logs the code to the console; see if a message shows up there. Not that useful, I know; I based that behavior on Home Assistant’s own z-wave lock, which was the only other one I saw that dealt with user codes, and it just appeared to log the code. I’ll see about outputting something more useful.

I’ll update locks to emit an event when an unlock occurs with information about how the unlock happened.

What version of HACS are you using?

It broke for me.

I’ve just installed and setup HACs. But I already had your fantastic Hubitat Integration installed. Should I remove it before I install it through HACs?

142

It looks like the hubitatmaker package didn’t get updated. Some quick things to check, just try to figure out what’s going on:

From a terminal on your Home Assistant instance, run pip list and see what version is shown for hubitatmaker. It should be 0.2.5 or higher.

Also from the terminal, in your HA config directory, look at custom_components/hubitat/manifest.json. It should have a line like:

  "requirements": ["hubitatmaker>=0.2.5,<0.3.0"]

If one or both of those isn’t true, HACS didn’t fully update the integration. Probably the easiest fix is to hit the “REINSTALL” link for the integration in HACS.

If HACS will let you install the integration over an existing copy, that will probably work (I’ve never tried that myself).

144

Reinstall worked!

This component gets better and better every day. I’m almost to the point where I wont need to use the mqtt bridge I have setup.

I have two fan devices that are showing up as on/off switches. Based on their capabilities, would you be able to add them? Currently I have them in HA via mqtt birdge and they are configured using the ‘fan.’ domain for the entities.

Fans are definitely doable. I’ve created https://github.com/jason0x43/hacs-hubitat/issues/23 for adding fan support.

So silly question time, as I haven’t tried the integration yet (have all my logic in Node-Red, but am also a HA user)… How does it handle multi-function devices?

Prime example - GE Motion Dimmer… Is a dimmer, and a motion sensor, in one device.

I’ll just try it and find out for myself sooner or later - just haven’t had much time lately.

148

Home Assistant has “devices”, which represent a hardware device, and “entities”, which represent some capability of a device. Entities are what you actually deal with in automations; they have state and provide commands. A device like a motion dimmer would end up with two entities in HA: a motion sensor (e.g., sensor.my_dimmer_motion) and a light (e.g., light.my_dimmer).

Thanks. That is what I would have assumed/hoped for, but I wasn’t sure how robust the discovery and mapping process currently was.

I’ll have to find time and set it up - seems straight forward enough!

150

I dont have the dimmer, but I do have the regular GE Motion Switch. Works great:

Has anyone upgraded to Hubitat V2.1.9 using this component?
I thought somebody said there was an issue with it but I can’t find evidence of this by quickly browsing.

153

I have, and haven’t noticed any problems.
