I made an indentation mistake… Can you please refresh app.py
again?
Hi,

Cheers
EDIT:
I think retries are there due to Z-Wave Thermostats temp change in HA when it receives confirmation form valve that it in fact changed it. Depending on valve it takes from 10-15sec to even 10 mins on default Danfoss setting (wakeup interval 600)
Yes, Heaty can only stop re-sending when it gets the report back from the thermostat, which is of course a problem with old Z-Wave components without FLIRS support.
But there also seems to be a race condition at the change replication. Could you please set replicate_changes: false
in your room’s configuration?
Thanks.

Right, then please leave replicate_changes
set to false
for the time being.
I’m planning to restructure core parts of Heaty that became a bit twisted as they grew, afterwards I’m going to make the replication work reliably.
Hello,
This is great! I’ve successfully made a schedule for my living room z-wave thermostat which works fine.
I’m struggling a bit more with more advanced scheduling based on “input bolean” from home assistant. I understand that I have to make a separate file and use “temp_expression_modules” which I’ve done, but probably incorrectly. In the example:(https://github.com/efficiosoft/hass_apps/blob/master/hass_apps/heaty/doc/README.rst)
Save the code as my_mod.py somewhere Python can find it. The easiest way is to store it inside AppDaemon’s apps directory.
Add the module to your temp_expression_modules config as explained before.
Should I enter exactly as the below example:
temp_expression_modules:
math:
time:
as: _time
my_custom_module:
or something like this, adding the name of the file?:
temp_expression_modules:
math:
time:
as: _time
my_custom_module:
as: "name of file in apps folder"
I’ve tried several combinations but i get this error every time:

Hi @kjetilsn
First, you don’t need to put simple temperature expressions into a separate python module. There are examples in the README showing how to include expressions this way.
If you really want to use an external module, you usually just need to add its name:
temp_expression_modules:
my_custom_module:
The as
field is only required if your module’s name collides with another name present in the execution environment. If this doesn’t mean anything to you, safely ignore it for now.
Thank you for your help.
So I don’t need external module? I’m confused.
My goal is to schedule time for bedrooms in the basement, but also to have a switch in home assitant which can turn the schedule on and off.
My config below:
Basement:
thermostats:
climate.termostat_basement_livingroom_heating:
# climate.termostat_bedroom1_heating:
climate.termostat_bedroom2_heating:
climate.thermostat_bedroom3_heating:
schedule:
# no one home, set to 16
- { temp: 16 if app.get_state('input_boolean.home') == 'off' else Ignore() }
# From Monday to Friday, set temperature to 21 °C from 12:00 to 21.00
- { temp: 21, start: "12:00", end: "20:00", weekdays: 6-7 }
# Weekends, set temperature to 21 °C from 08:00 to 22.00
- { temp: 21, start: "08:00", end: "22:00", weekdays: 1-5 }
- { temp: 16 }
Abowe works, but when I change the state switch nothing happens, if i restart appdaeom it sees the change.
I will go trough the example one more time, I must have missed something.
I now added a note to the inliningexample as well to make it crystal-clear:
Thank you roschi!
Now it works.
Sunday afternoon, and just read the full thread with Great interest as the kids and wife are sick.
I live in a large 6000sq foot home, with 39 radiators over 3 levels divided into 4 pump zones, a 400 litre domestic hot water tank and 2 heating sources which is an oil boiler and a solid fuel stove. After a major overhaul 14 months ago by a good plumber the house is for the first time working well from a heat perspective.
To manage this environment after due consideration I installed a Honeywell Evohome solution with the HGi80 gateway connected to Domoticz and a custom LUA script to interpit the communication from the TRV to the controller. This script is responsible for engaging the heat source and also the correct pump depending on the demand source. The logic is not over complex ensuring that if the solid fule is burning and generating hot water, the the oil source is not engaged for example.
While this works very well, and I am happy to share the LUA script, I have in recent weeks a major issue with this implementation. Evohome is not a mesh and has no range extender Technology, and is operating on a similar frequency to my baby monitors (2 of them) I am seeing random failures of communication between the Evohome controller and it’s endpoints, eg the boiler relay, DHW stat or relay, or random TRV at the extreme edge of the house. This results in the controller failing to demand heat or assuming demand is still needed as the sensor has not reported back.
So. It’s with great interest I read this thread and your code, as I am going to implement a smaller PRoof of Concept using the Spirt TRVs and a Zwave controller.
At this point I was going to build the logic myself, but I am ready to grab another Zwave.me module or stick and a spare PI3 to host your solution.
My question at the end of this long introduction is wheather you believe that your solution would be appropriate option here, my initial impression is yes (although in production I would have 15 rooms I think. 12 limit in evo) along the the zone pumps and DHW, and the two sources to be called based on demand.
My python skills are currently nill, i code JS and C# but I’m willing the learn and am a quick study.
Thank you for your response, and my utmost respect for what you have built
Regards
Damian
Hi @DamianFlynn
Wow, that’s a big house.
I’m not sure whether Heaty is the appropriate way to go in your scenario.
There is no way to configure something like pumps or boilers, the whole point of Heaty is scheduling different temperatures for different times and based on arbitrarily complex external conditions.
So what it does is setting thermostats in a room to a temperature resulting from the evaluation of a schedule. It can’t turn pumps or boilers on or off, because it just doesn’t know what a pump is.
I’m not sure whether you are aware of this fact?
Best regards
Robert
Thanks for the reply
Yep it’s a damn monster, reading the code I had begun to deduce that nothing is present to control the heat source.
I was expecting to see some logic which reduces that all radiators have reached thier setpoint, closed the valve and no longer demanding heat, therefore turn off the heat source.
That’s pretty much all I get me Evohome, this is why I added the HGI80 with Domoticz as I listen to the communication I can determine what TRV is demanding and thus Deduct if I need to engage a pump and a heat source, and if that’s the requirement I use Domoticz to control these devices.
My current consideration is to use your script as the equivalent logic of what EVO delivered and then extend this with my custome code that I have in Domoticz.
My real question is if you think this approach is feasible and what level of effort one might have to implement this on this app and ha environment
Best regards
Damian
@DamianFlynn Ok, so you know what you can expect from Heaty and what not.
I’m currently rewriting (or better, restructuring) some core parts to make it more readable and maintainable. I plan to finish this in late February. So maybe you want to wait with diving into the code until that happened.
To answer your question:
As long as you manage to get your thermostats recognized as entities in a Home Assistant installation, I don’t see a reason you shouldn’t be able to use Heaty for scheduling.
You could then write another app for appdaemon which monitors your thermostat’s setpoints and current temperature and controls the pumps/boilers accordingly. This would then be completely independent of Heaty.
Regarding the zwave.me modules… Maybe you want to have a look at the AeoTec Z-Stick Gen 5. From my experience, that one works far more reliable and has a far greater range than the ZME_UZB1 and Razberry modules and can be backed up and restored hassle-free. But you can of course take whatever module you like.
Hi all!
I’d like to invite you to test the brand-new modularized version of Heaty, which is a lot more advanced than the legacy one, at least in terms of code quality.
The background of the rewrite is that Heaty was my first “complex” AppDaemon app and grew pretty fast beyond what I originally expected. The whole code became difficult to understand, and thus difficult to maintain as well.
With the new approach, I splitted everything up into submodules, unified and adapted naming to common naming schemes, added Python type-hints and did a lot more to ensure Heaty will run solid and reliably. This changes will also simplify and drive the further development and extension of the hass_apps project in general.
As always with changes, there is the danger of accidentally breaking some working parts. Even though the linter and type checker don’t complain and I’ve did some testing, there might be pitfalls I didn’t find yet.
That’s why I kindly ask you to try out the new hass_apps in your own environments, which are probably different to mine.
To do so, please check out the heaty-modularization
branch from GitHub:
git fetch
git checkout -b heaty-modularization origin/heaty-modularization
# Now install or copy hass_apps, just as you'd always do.
pip3 install . --upgrade
And, as always, to fetch updates:
git pull
pip3 install . --upgrade
To go back to the master branch:
git checkout master
pip3 install . --upgrade

Thank you for the advice.
I spent a little time today reading about the HA platform, and i will admit its very impressive. My two sample Sprit TRV also arrived; and I have taken your advice, and ordered a AeoTec Z-Stick Gen 5 for the PI which i will install the framework on.
I grabbed a spare PI3 and installed the HASS.io image. Not sure if that was the right call or if I should have done a manual install on Raspbian or other similar os. Comments welcome also.
Hardware due next week so I have time to learn the platform before hand

I started looking at the comments in the code (very nice!) and it looks like Heaty will work with my single zwave thermostat that has one climate entity for heating mode and another for cooling mode. Is this correct?
Is anyone using Heaty with hass.io?
Many thanks!
I was considering it. But it’s to locked down. I am going to reinstall as hasbian or Raspbian with HA.
@DamianFlynn I’d use raspbian with a manual HA installation, it’s really simple and from what you’ve written before I’d expect you to appreciate the more control you get with a manual installation, compared to the docker setup on hass.io.
