Hi,
Thanks for that. I managed to figure it out in the end🤦‍♂️, but it was too late and forgot to leave a reply.
Thanks again.

HI,

I’m on 0.115.6 on Docker container. Recently i updated the Floureon Component and my thermostat stopped working.
i get this error in log:

ERROR (MainThread) [custom_components.floureon] Thermostat 192.168.0.26 set_time error: module 'broadlink' has no attribute 'hello'

Does anyone has the same error or know why it is not working anymore ?

Looks like your broadlink lib is outdated. Did you updated manifest.json file in floureon component?

wachux · October 22, 2020, 2:46pm

Yes, it looks like this

{ "domain": "floureon", "name": "Floureon Thermostat", "documentation": "https://github.com/algirdasc/hass-floureon", "dependencies": [], "codeowners": ["@algirdasc"], "issue_tracker": "https://github.com/algirdasc/hass-floureon/issues", "requirements": ["pythoncrc", "broadlink>=0.15.0"] }

when go inside the docker container and check the broadlink vesion with ‘pip show broadlink’ i got: Name: broadlink Version: 0.15.0

Hi!
I also bought Fan coil Thermostat, Beok TGR87G-WIFI-AC2, and I tried to control with this component, but seem they are not supported. I tested both configurations, as Climate and as Switch, I got the next errors:

“device” object has not attribute “set_power”
“device” object has not attribute “set_mode”

The Fan coil Thermostats has 4 switch outputs: 1 to control a valve, and 3 more to control the fan speed, and of course, a temp sensor. I guess this is clashing with normal thermostats, with only one output.

@Globetrotter, did you manage to control it?

Thanks a lot!

Hi!

I’m reviewing the code to understant it in order to try to cover the Fan coil Thermostats. I have a question regarding this component implementation, maybe anyone can support me:

The flouren component is importing the HA broadlink component, but in HA broadlink component documentation I haven’t seen any support to thermostat, just Power Strips, Sensors, Smart Plugs, Universal Remotes and Wi-Fi Controlled Switches. I can’t see the hello(), auth(), set_temp(), and other APIs in the broadlink code (https://github.com/home-assistant/core/tree/dev/homeassistant/components/broadlink), but they are being used by the fluoren component. What I’m checking wrong? Is my analisys wrong and those APIs should not be found in the broadlink component? or is the flouren component using a different broadlink component?

I’m not familiar with HA component implementation, and just a little bit with Python, so apologies if I did a silly question…

Thanks for your support in advance!

algirdasc · October 28, 2020, 11:06am

Hi, you’re looking at the wrong code - you should be looking at broadlink python library: https://github.com/mjg59/python-broadlink/tree/master/broadlink

ciafe · October 28, 2020, 11:24am

Thanks for the feedback!! Now I can see all the APIs

But then, a new question comes to my mind, and it’s related to my previous post, how this “broadlink” component should be installed in my HA? I have not seen in documentation, and as you can see in my previuos post, my broadlink “device” do not have the “set_power”, “set_mode”, etc.

algirdasc · October 28, 2020, 2:39pm

I would suggest you to debug/develop using plain python. You could list all available methods and properties of your floureon/broadlink device and maybe there would be possibility to implement your device to floureon component.

ciafe · October 29, 2020, 9:29am

Thanks for the hint, I will do so!

ciafe · October 29, 2020, 1:38pm

Hi,
Seems my thermostat is not supported by the library… It can be detected by the library, but it did not found available methods. “devtype” reported is 0x4F5B, which is not in the list of supported devices…

algirdasc · October 30, 2020, 8:48am

I would suggest trying to create issue at broadlink python github repository, maybe broadlink-python lib developer would find a way and implement your controller. Then I could implement that implementation (inception, or should i say impleption?) in floureon component.

Hi,
there was some interest here in the cloud controlled thermostats (Floureon byc17.gh3). There is finally a python api access: https://github.com/opravdin/weback-unofficial.
If you want to checkout the integration I made, go here: https://github.com/ltekieli/floureon-cloud

emossen · November 25, 2020, 8:45pm

I have the same issue. As soon as one thermostat is offline, Home Assistant becomes unresponsive once a minute for a few seconds. In this time I also cannot turn on lights etc.
This is what I can see in the logs:

@algirdasc: Did you have a chance to look into it?

algirdasc · November 28, 2020, 10:37am

Sorry for the delay, had some changes in my personal life. I had a change to look into it, the problem was with sync/async context mixup, please update to the latest version, this issue should be fixed now.

emossen · November 28, 2020, 6:31pm

Wow, that’s great. I have tested it and it works. You are amazing!

Hi all, I’m getting this warning in my homeassistant log.
2020-12-07 18:35:10 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.switch] SwitchDevice is deprecated, modify FloureonSwitch to extend SwitchEntity

Is this OK, or do I need to change something. My config sections below:

switch:  
  - platform: floureon
    name: Elec floor heating
    mac: 24:df:a7:d6:66:c7
    host: 192.168.1.18
    turn_off_mode: turn_off
    turn_on_mode: max_temp

climate:

  use_external_temp: false

DangerD · January 28, 2021, 7:43pm

On Beok you can select internal sensor (air temperature), external (floor temperature), both external and internal (SEN 2) to avoid overheating floor.
After updating temperature from Home Assistant it resets sensor to 0 on thermostat. Is there any way to prevent that?

Hi Lukasz,
This is a nice attempt but is not working for me.
I get this:

Hi
I just got this message. (HA 2021.3.3)

No 'version' key in the manifest file for custom integration 'floureon'. This will not be allowed in a future version of Home Assistant. Please report this to the maintainer of 'floureon'

Hopefully you could deal with this in the near future
