awesome good job Mark Potter :wink:

This is brilliant. Thank you @msp1974. Just noticed a small bug. If you place this in a vertical stack, you lose the ability to save the layout i.e. the ‘Save Layout’ button is not visible.

2401

Ah OK ill look at that. It is a little bit hacky to be able to save the layout as it tries to detect the card is loaded in a preview by looking at higher up html. I guess in a stack the html is different. Thanks for pointing out.

I just installed 3.3.6, which says “improved zigbee card”, looks different (I think), but it is v1.1.0, doesn’t look like this…?? Is this another update still to be released?

2403

Do a shift F5 refresh on your browser

2404

Need to clear cache for new card to load

2405

Thanks, never had that happen before.

Because the card is loaded as part of the integration and not directly via HACs as a seperate card, it does not reload the browser on update. HACs installs do do this for frontend but we can’t make it do it for Integrations.

Some of you eagle eyed people will have noticed that the documentation page as of v3.3.6 is now much shorter and refers you to the Wiki for documentation.

I have moved it there as I think it was hard to find topics in one long page and it is now broken down into sections to be easier to navigate.

I will be updating it a little more as we go to ensure it’s easy to find help to get the most out of this integration.

Wiki can be found here or via the link in the documentation available from the entry in HACs or the documentation link on the integration in Devices & Services.

Can anyone explain the Battery status reporting from the iTRV’s and Roomstat, as I would have expected to see some sort of depletion since I have been using the system. All of my iTRV’s and the Roomstat show 100% battery level. Admittedly the iTRV’s have only been in place for a around 3 months, but the Roomstat has been in place for much longer and also shows 100% remaining. I appreciate the display mainly remains off, and expected battery life is 2+ years, but wondering what voltage level is required for the % to start to drop below 100%?

Example iTRV attributes:
battery_voltage: 3
battery_level: Normal
unit_of_measurement: %

Roomstat attributes:
battery_voltage: 2.7
battery_level: Normal
unit_of_measurement: %

I would say the roomstat lasts longer than 2 years, especially if you dont use it much. Below is the mapping of voltage to % from the api. Roomstat is 10% per 0.1v between min and max and trvs is per mapping. Hope that helps.

# Battery Constants
ROOMSTAT_MIN_BATTERY_LEVEL = 1.7
ROOMSTAT_FULL_BATTERY_LEVEL = 2.7
TRV_FULL_BATTERY_LEVEL = 3.0
TRV_BATTERY_LEVEL_MAPPING = {
    3.0: 100,
    2.9: 80,
    2.8: 60,
    2.7: 40,
    2.6: 20,
    2.5: 10,
    2.4: 5,
    2.3: 0,
}

Is this a slam for my poor typing skills/grammar?

First question, so go easy…

I’ve just got the Wiser hub running with a couple of TRVs and thermostat, and added to HA. I was hoping the TRVs would use my HA Zigbee network - can that be done? Or do I need to keep them on the Wiser network?

Thanks!

Simon

Simon, welcome! I dont know why people always say go easy on their first post. We’re very nice here! :grinning:

No, you have to use the zigbee network provided by the hub…it wont work otherwise (Wiser thing not HA). People have used zigbee2mqtt to control iTRVs with varying success but you loose all the great functionality of the wiser hub. Any when you get to know this integration more, youll be happy younwent this way!

Ok, thanks Mark, and thanks for the quick reply. I’ll get a repeater to extend the Wiser Zigbee network and see how I get on!

Might be more questions over the next few days :slight_smile:

Cheers,

Simon

Hi Mark,

There is a broken link on this page of the Wiki instructions: https://github.com/asantaga/wiserHomeAssistantPlatform/wiki/Functionality#events–triggers

Two upsides of the repeaters is that they can be used to control devices connected to them (e.g. timed lights as a security measure when you are away), and can also be used to monitor the devices powered through them - i.e. select them as an Individual Device in the HA Energy Dashboard settings page. You don’t need to rely on the Wiser app - they can be controlled and monitored through HA.

I agree they feel overpriced, compared to those from Ikea or Amazon, but they are the only ones that will extend a Wiser Zigbee network.
