It’s not this effect, is it?
Sorry, I don’t understand.
Are you sure you are using the latest version of my code (Mark’s code that I have amended), where I have fixed the opacity? I don’t see any difference on mine and am fairly sure it’s now correct, unless my eyes or my old monitor are deceiving me. However, I did also check colour accuracy on my phone and they look identical to me. Maybe try a browser refresh and/or clearing the cache, just in case what you are seeing is not current?
For the dark theme, you do need to manually change:
--slider-theme-opacity: var(--light-disabled-opacity);
to:
--slider-theme-opacity: var(--dark-disabled-opacity);
Unfortunately, I was unable to find a way to detect the theme in use and dynamically change it. I’m pretty sure there isn’t currently a way to do this, as there are posts about doing it for other things and none of them has a solution.
Believe it or not, the two squares marked A and B in the picture are exactly the same shade / colour.
I didn’t believe it, so printed it out on paper.
Unbelievably, they are the same.

I’m pretty sure what @Duke_box is seeing is not an optical illusion, as I can see it in his screenshots too and there was a problem with the opacity originally. 
It was just a thought…

I have a toggle automation that can either toggle a sincle zone, or can toggle multiple zones.
But the service calls which include several entities is intermittent and not all entities will be triggered:
For example when I call this, maybe only 2 or 3 are triggered, I then have to call it a second time and then all get triggered.
service: wiser.boost_heating
data:
time_period: 60
temperature_delta: 3
target:
entity_id:
- climate.bath
- climate.bed_1
- climate.bed_2
- climate.bed_3
- climate.kitchen
- climate.lounge
In the logs I see this:

Connection timeout trying to communicate with Wiser Hub 192.168.10.40 for url http://192.168.10.40:80/data/v2/network/
It seems that communication gets lost when sending multiple entities ?
Hence, two questions to you guys:
- Has anyone been able to add the Smart Plug to the HubR?
- Is there a way to force the fw update of the HubR?
- Yes, and I have not heard any problems about adding the Wiser Smart Plug to the HubR.
- There’s no way to force a firmware update yourself that I am aware of. If you drop support a line they can push the latest firmware to your hub though and you should definitely get it updated as 3.10.8 is very old and has a problem with disconnections (discussed for a long time way back up this thread). You will need to provide support with your username (email account used with it) and the 6 digit (partial) MAC address of your hub.
I’m not sure of the support arrangements in Bulgaria, but UK support can be contacted here:

I would imagine they should be able to direct you to the correct place if they can’t assist you for some reason.
Have you tried splitting it out into multiple service calls, each with just one entity?
I was asking about the Electrical Heat Switch just last weekend, for use with under floor heating. AFAIK they don’t need to be visible i.e. yes, you could put them in a cupboard. The only considerations I can think of with embedding it in the wall is if you need to re-pair it in the future for any reason and heat dissipation. I’ve no idea how warm they get, but I would be a little wary of embedding it into the wall myself for this reason alone.
Yes I think this is the way to do it as these are fixed parameters and no variable available.
FYI, I have now worked out how to do card-mod-themes and updated the wiki page with this info using, what I think is the latest working iteration of this.
Simple installation and simple to apply to your thermostat cards. Also amends are globally applied. Let me know what you think.
EDIT: It may also work as a profile theme (if not using one already) - tried and looked ok but not properly tested

Super. I’ll take a look at this either tomorrow or Monday. We have family coming over today/tonight.
That really simplifies the implementation if applied at the card level.
I’m not so sure as a profile though as it will overwrite any other card-mod themes I have implemented, you’d need to merge them all, and it changes all thermostat cards whether you want to or not.
However it makes it super easy to make changes to all thermostat cards you’ve associated with this theme.
However it still has the problem of not addressing the high slider colour when using a dark theme.
I have spent a few hours experimenting with different dark themes ( as I thought it must be something to do with my theme) but even using the in built Home Assistant theme in dark mode (and using @robertwigley’s suggestion of using var(--dark-disabled-opacity) didn’t make any difference no matter what theme I tried.
It works perfectly in a light theme.
Here is an example using the inbuilt Home Assistant light theme which is perfect.
And with the dark version of the inbuilt HA theme - it shows a yellow outline on the Passive card
And using the slate theme available from HACS (which I use but modified with card-mod to suppress the headers) it is even worse.
This is obviously theme related but, so far, I haven’t found the variable in the themes I’ve tried which changes this.
I am beginning to favour going back to my original code which hard coded the high slider colour/opacity. It wasn’t perfect but it looked nearly the same no matter what theme I used.
Did you make any progress with this? I’m in same boat and am also unable to update the firmware - I’ve tried all the methods you mention.
This winter, I have had a lot of trouble starting the official Wiser app on my iPhone – roughly half the time (seemingly randomly), it freezes on one of the loading pages, and it’s necessary to swipe away and restart the app repeatedly until it works. I contacted Wiser support and was told they are aware of it, that it is likely due to updating to iOS 17, the workaround is to use 4G instead of wifi, and there is no timescale for fixing it. This is disappointing, and failure to support the latest version of iOS after 4 months makes me concerned that the system may be being abandoned (which I am very unhappy about, after spending £500 on it only 15 months ago).
Fortunately I have worked round this using HA and HomeKit integration – much of the heating control is automated through HA, and the manual hot water controls are passed through via HomeKit so that my family can control them on their phones. I discovered this morning that I can also expose ‘Moments’ via HomeKit, which means me and my family can now stop wrestling with the official app. Thanks to @msp1974 for providing all this functionality – without it, the Wiser system would have been a very disappointing purchase for me.

Hi guys!
Can somebody please help me to integrate my Merten MEG5779-0419 Connected room temperature controller module, System M into Home Assistant??
I am struggling long time and posted some questions, but without any result.
I have a Wiser HeatHub gen2 (WiserHeat05841C) that i can see in my Home Assistant. In my Wiser Home app on iPhone i see the thermostat and I can adjust the temperature without problems, but I want to integrate it ofcourse in Home Assistant… BUT I doesn’t see any option to make a thermostat card and add the Merten MEG5779-0419 to it.
I really hope somebody could help me fix this.
Maybe a bit of a stretch, but is anyone using an electric plinth heater with the Wiser Electrical Heat Switch? Looking for a recommendation for one that works well with it.
Are you sure you have your Merton equipment set up in Wiser? It does appear to be a model made by a company acquired by Schneider so this isn’t impossible. If it is, note that for the purpose you describe Wiser exposes the rooms rather than the specific devices - so if your Merten thermostat is in the Living Room, it will be used to calculate the temperature if the Living Room, and you would use this integration to adjust that room’s temperature.
You can get the temperature reading specifically from the thermostats, but adjustment is only done through the room. Look for a Device of type RoomStat under the Drayton Wiser integration. I would be surprised if it is identified as Merten.
It may be that the integration does not support this. PM me a diagnostic file and i’ll have a look.
Schneider don’t appear to be interested in implementing any user requested enhancements or fixing any reported issues. Its a shame because the Wiser system could be so much better.
