Custom Integration weenect

Hi!

I own a dog tracker from weenect so in case my dog goes missing I know where to find her.
I wanted to adjust the reporting interval of the tracker based on the location so I created a integration for homeassistant for it.

You can find all the information and the code itself here:

Installation

HACS

The easiest way to add this to your Homeassistant installation is using HACS. And then follow the instructions under Configuration below.

Manual

  1. Using the tool of choice open the directory (folder) for your HA configuration (where you find configuration.yaml).

  2. If you do not have a custom_components directory (folder) there, you need to create it.

  3. In the custom_components directory (folder) create a new folder called weenect.

  4. Download all the files from the custom_components/weenect/ directory (folder) in this repository.

  5. Place the files you downloaded in the new directory (folder) you created.

  6. Restart Home Assistant

  7. In the HA UI go to “Configuration” → “Integrations” click “+” and search for “Blueprint”

Using your HA configuration directory (folder) as a starting point you should now also have this:


custom_components/weenect/__init__.py

custom_components/weenect/binary_sensor.py

custom_components/weenect/config_flow.py

custom_components/weenect/const.py

custom_components/weenect/device_tracker.py

custom_components/weenect/entity.py

custom_components/weenect/manifest.json

custom_components/weenect/sensor.py

custom_components/weenect/services.py

custom_components/weenect/services.yaml

custom_components/weenect/translations/en.sjon

Hi !
I might be looking in a wrong place, but where can I find the documentation related to the configuration.

Thank you !

What kind of configuration are you looking for?
If you mean something you would put into configuration.yaml, this is not needed for this integration. You can set it up via the UI

I was indeed looking for a login/password to type in configuration.yaml in order to link my cat to my dashboard.
I found now the correct way to do it, thank you for the integration and your quick reply !

My only issue with this integration is about battery level. As a matter of fact I noticed that while it was perfectly working till version 2.0.3 (I’m running HA 2012.12.7), starting from 2.0.4 and now 2.05 the returned value is “unknown”. Reverting to 2.0.3 everything is fine again. What am I missing? Any similar behaviour out there?
Thanks!
Franco

Thank you for reporting the issue. I just realized it behaves the same in my installation. I will try to find out what happens!

7

Well that’s what you get for don’t unit testing “standard things that will surely work”.

Release v2.0.7 is ready for download.

@fmanzolini thank you for raising the issue!
