Hi, I am running the latest version of Home Assistant on Ubuntu and i have Hive working show the temp for heating and hot water but i have seen you should be able to show a lot more but cant seem to see how this is done does anyone have working code i can see?
Hi @RowJoo
You can download the sensor custom_component and copy it to your custom_components/sensor
folder
Once home assistant is restarted you should have added to home assistant the different custom sensors to show state, mode, etc…
What exactly does the custom component add? There doesn’t seem to be any documentation on the github page. I see reference to battery level, light mode, and plug mode… Is that to do with the wireless thermostat? Battery level is obvious but what are the other additions?
It will add things like the following:
for each heating zone, it will add a sensor for Heating Mode, Heating Boost, Heating State, Target Temperature and Current Temperature, plus for each Thermostat the Battery Level
For Hot Water it will add Hot Water Mode, Hot Water Boost and Hot Water State
excellent, good to hear that it works ok
Is it possible to pull the aux_heat switch out of the “Hot Water” card and place this directly on the dashboard? And to go one further, make it a type of sensor so it can be seen in Homekit?
