Heatmiser configuration - what am I getting wrong?

jon3284 · July 8, 2016, 10:53am

Hi,
Am trying out HA - really like the look of it, but I’m struggling to get some heatmiser thermostats working on it. They are the PRT-N models (RS485 connection) connected to a serial to IP adaptor. After editing the configuration.yaml file to include heatmiser I get this error message in the log:

16-07-08 11:49:33 homeassistant.components.thermostat: Error while setting up platform heatmiser
Traceback (most recent call last):

    tstat.get("id"),
AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'get'

My configuration is as follows:

thermostat:
  platform: heatmiser
  ipaddress: 192.168.0.71
  port: 1024
  tstats:
    1:
    id: 1
    name: test

Many thanks for any help you can provide!

The docs are not accurate. tstats should hold a list.

thermostat:
  platform: heatmiser
  ipaddress: 192.168.0.71
  port: 1024
  tstats:
    - 1:
      id: 1
      name: test

Hi having issues setting this up, the current configuration in the docs throws an error?

the config:

climate:
  - platform: heatmiser
    ipaddress: YOUR_IPADDRESS
    port: YOUR_PORT
    tstats:
      - 1:
        id: THERMOSTAT_ID
        name: THERMOSTAT_NAME

the error:

Ive tried making the tstats items not a list then it passes the config check but then fails later on

the config:

    port: YOUR_PORT
    tstats:
      1:
      id: THERMOSTAT_ID

Hello

I am new to Hassio and am trying to set up Heatmiser using a RS485 converter but am getting config errors.

My config is:-
climate:

platform: heatmiser
ipaddress: 192.168.1.201
port: 20101
tstats:
- 1:
id: 01
name: Office
- 2:
id: 02
name: Sitting Room
- 3:
id: 03
name: Kitchen
- 4:
id: 04
name: Utility
- 5:
id: 05
name: Dining Room
- 6:
id: 11
name: Landing
- 7:
id: 12
name: West Bedroom
- 8:
id: 14
name: Ext Bedroom

But I am getting the following errors:

Error while setting up platform heatmiser
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/serial/urlhandler/protocol_socket.py”, line 60, in open

raise err
File “/usr/lib/python3.6/socket.py”, line 713, in create_connection
sock.connect(sa)
socket.timeout: timed out

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

raise SerialException(“Could not open port {}: {}”.format(self.portstr, msg))
serial.serialutil.SerialException: Could not open port socket://192.168.1.201:20101/logging=debug: timed out

Please can anyone suggest what the error is? I am assuming the config list should be formatted as -1, -2, -3 etc?

Thanks

Richard

Anyone?

Thanks

@Fulltopuk do you mind me asking how you’re connecting your sensors to an RS485 converter. I’ve a dozen of them connected to a Heatmiser UH8 but I don’t know how to get an RS485 feed of them? Any help much appreciated

Fulltopuk · August 21, 2018, 7:06pm

Hi Ross

I have a RS485 to ethernet converter from USR. They have to be the 12v network type thermostats

See link

I use Hercules to monitor its activity so I know it is looking the Heatmiser network.

However, I bought a Heatmiser Netmonitor which supports the App. I guess I should try and link to that but not had the time.

Hope this helps.
