Drayton Wiser Home Assistant Integration

Third party integrations
636

You may have seen that over the weekend we released v3.0.24. This was quite a big upgrade but mostly focussed on supporting lights and shutters for our friends on the continent. I want to thank @LGO44 for his tremendous help in testing this.

As always, please feel free to log any issues on our github repo.

I also wanted to take this opportunity to give you a bit of a teaser of something we have been working on very hard (hence why the last update was so slow to release). We have a bit more work to do on it and it will probably be about a month before it is released but here is a video of our upcoming schedule manager for the Wiser integration.

it will be GREAT!
Of course I will help you to test on lights and shuttersā€¦

Looks great. Much better than the slow, day at a time, and often not on the day you think, interface in the Wiser app. I see this becoming the primary interface I use for configuring my heating.

Mark, that looks AWESOME! I need to take some time to finally move to v3.X for this feature.

My first impression by testing the new feature: whaou! all the wiser home assistant integration dreamt it, but @msp1974 you done it . AWESOME!
Now let me test.

Thank you for your work on this great integration that I have used for a few months now :smiley:
I just updated to 3.0.24 today, and am glad to see the new sensor.wiser_lts_energy, itā€™s great to now get that information from the heating actuators!
I also tried to use the new network map feature, I followed the instructions in the Readme.Md, installed zigbee2mqtt-networkmap but sadly the map remains blank, and while troubleshooting this issue, I canā€™t find the entity sensor.wiser_zigbee_network_map. Is there something else I need to do? Add the sensor manually?

@skanx , sorry this got removed as it spammed the logs due to the way it had to work with this card and i forgot to update documentation. Once we have released the schedule card in the next couple of weeks, we will also create a better version of this network card as part of the integration.

Great great work here, thankyou! I am new to home assistant and so far have it setup with the Wiser addon and the Hue add ons. I am hoping i dont get shoot down for asking this here but I am struggling to get the zigbee2mqtt network map working. I am pretty tech savy but i cant for the life of me work out what i am supposed to do! Does a step by step guide exist? For example so far I haveā€¦

  1. Install the card via HACS
  2. Tried to configure the card in lovelace (via the gui) - no joy ( i am guessing you need zigbee2mqtt service installed and runnng?
  3. installed the zigbee2mqtt service, installed the mqqt broker (fails as it looks for a specific Zigbee device).

sigh. im so lost. All i want is a nice map to see what devices are connect to what

thanks

That you read a bit more before asking the same question what somebody literally asked 4 post aboveā€¦

I do not want to be rude, but this was seriously just asked.

And just to make it clear, no, you donā€™t need the zigbee2mqtt add-on. You would just need the card to display what comes off from the Wiser integration.

Thanks for the reply, i didnt notice the post above whilst reading the other 600 + posts and numerous guides to try and figure it out. Looking forward to the update docs on how to get it working!

Hi, hoping someone maybe able to help!
Been using this addon for a very long time. However the other day I was sent a new broadband router. This changed the IP address of my wiser hub. I went into settings and changed it back to what it previously was. However all my DW devices in HA are showing as unavailable.
The IP address in config is correct and so is the password. I logged back in to kae sure it hadnā€™t changed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Dave, if IP is definitely correct, the only thing i can think is that your new router doesnā€™t allow wifi devices to see your lan. This is normally a setting somewhere on your wifi settings on the router. Have you tried pinging your hub from your HA machine?

649

Hi Mark, many thanks for your reply.
Iā€™ve had a look through my router settings and canā€™t seem to see anything obvious.
How would I go about pinging the DW IP address through HA? Iā€™ve had a google and not having much joy!

650

You dont need to do it through HA just from a console on your machine running HA. How are you running it?

651

Iā€™m running HA on a Raspberry Pi.

652

So can you ping your hub from a Linux console on your PI? You could also install the SSH terminal add on to do through HA

653

@DaveUK83, I would do that as it gives you so many options to be able debug things.

654

Thank you. Just pinged my DW and this is what it has come back with:ping

655

You are getting replies to ping of that address, but are you sure this is the IP address being used by the Wiser Hub and not something else?

A tool like Fing might be helpful - it scans your entire subnet and identifies most devices allowing you to see the current IP address, MAC etc. Itā€™s pretty good at recognising stuff. You can find the MAC for the hub in the Wiser app to cross reference.

This can be very helpful for troubleshooting especially if a new router is issuing completely new addressing to all your devices.
