Hi
Is there a way to read out device information found on the device page? Eg. creation a sensor reading the device info?
Thanks!
Can you explain what you want to do with a screen-shot perhaps?
It is not clear what you want.
Of course! Sorry it is not clear.
On the page of each device there is some additional device information, which are not sensors, like firmware, model and for Z-wave devices there is Z-wave information. These I would like to use in an automation.
Thanks. Much clearer.
I just had a look a the sensors associated with my iPhone (developer tools / states page). I could not see a firmware attribute for any of the sensors unfortunately.
This information has to exist in the .storage registry as json data but I’m not sure how you would access it.
Yes, exactly! HA does have the information. Is it just a matter of how to extract it.
I’m not good at scripting so have no clue on how to look further in to this.
It’s part of the device registry which is populated in runtime. AFAIK it’s not possible to access from templates. Would be great if possible though.
Specifically for zwave, a lot of what you mentioned is available as attributes to the zwave.xxx entity, and hence available to template out.
I have no zwave. entity?
I’m running OpenZWare add-one and OpenZWave (beta) integration.
Oh! I’m running the bog standard zwave integration. The root zwave devices are exposed as an entity with many attributes as pictured above.
Okay, that explain the difference when it comes to Z-wave devices. Maybe the OpenZWave (beta) integration is not mature for this yet.
But, for not only Z-wave devices, it could be nice to have device info available as standard in HA.
