Grohe Sense - Why deprecated

Third party integrations
1

There has been a Grohe Sense integration available in the core. Why has it been deprecated and can it be made available again?

I don’t see an integration in core for this. Do you have a link?

Screenshot_20240308_004238

I see a very long standing Feature Request to add one for that.
For a 5 year long request only has a few votes (33):
Grohe Sense (Ondus).

I also see a custom integration that is likely accessable thru HACS or via the github repo:
GitHub - gkreitz/homeassistant-grohe_sense: Grohe Sense integration for Home Assistant.

So not sure what you are referring to.

Thanks for the reply.

a) The integration provided by gkreitz on GitHub does not load in the latest HACS version. So I cannot try.

b) I saw some articles in this forum, that made me believe, that a Grohe Sense integration had existed in the past.

Thanks again and perhaps more people get interested and vote for an integration.

Put in an issue with the author of the custom integration. Maybe they know there is a problem, maybe not.
Either way the additional data you provide could be valuable, or you might find a way to make it work there.
Of course someone could see this and help as well. Unfortunately all I can offer is advice on how the ‘system’ works.

I’ve found that this fork of the above repo works well with current HA:

@VinceDD Did you find it in HACS or did you install it manually?

7

I installed it via HACS

8

I found it from looking at forks of the original project in GitHub. Then I installed it via HACS by providing the full GitHub repository location.

Hi,

I’m the maintainer of the above mentioned repo, so thanks for sharing it here @VinceDD. I’ll try to keep it up-to-date and also include some new sensors/features always when I find some time. As I’m having a Grohe Sense and a Grohe Sense Guard at home my goal is to always have that information within HA.
I’m also trying to get it into HACS by time, so that you don’t need to go the way with the repo-url in future.

Hi, I’m looking for an intelligent waterstop with ha- inetragtion. The Grohe Sense Guard (Sense Guard | GROHE) is my favortite. Will it work via Hacs now?

11

Hi. It is working via HACS but you still need to go the way with providing the full url as a custom repository. You can try my repository VinceDD was sharing the link above.

12

This is awesome. I suggest you add a Custom Integrations - Home Assistant Community post to announce and track your project on the HA Forum. This is the tail end of a closed post and may prove hard to find…

13

… nice if that would work. Only when I want to install the extension do I get the following error message:

“repository structure for master is not completed”

Would anyone have a tip for me?

14

Just tried tried to install the repository. No issues during installation, but I only see 1 Device (Sense Guard) and 2 Entities (valve and notifications).

Below is the output from the log (replaced unique ID with xxx - probably not necessary, but better safe than sorry)
Any ideas what went wrong

Hi,

can you please create an issue within the github repo. It seems like your version is not matching the common naming convention for the Sense Guard (which is interessting).

When creating the issue, can you please also attach the output of the Action: ‘Grohe Sense: Get Dashboard’ in it, then I should have everything for checking.

Also, have you installed it via HACS and if so which version. If not, which branch are you using.

Hi Schilli

Thanks for your response
Haven´t tried to open an issue on github before, but I will give it a shot :slightly_smiling_face:

I did install it today via HACS, and just picked latest version (it seems to be v0.22.1 when I look in integrations)

I’m not sure what you meen by “attach the output of the Action: ‘Grohe Sense: Get Dashboard’”

Hey,

would be great if you just could open it there so I can keep track of it there as well :blush:

In regards to the actions, you can go to the actions via the developer tools and need to choose the one from the screenshot below and click on perform

The most interesting part of the output is the following within the appliance path for your sense guard:

version: 03.06.Z22.0400.0101

Thats what the version looks for me :blush:

Hi again
I have opened an issue on github (hopefully :hand_with_index_finger_and_thumb_crossed:)
Looking in the output of action … it looks like version is empty
version: “”
but the good part is it actually looks like it gets the other values (flowrate, consumptions etc)
