Just to report:

2020.1_b21 is still working and has been rock solid since release!
Amazing work out of @Khole

@Khole thank you, iā€™ve just switched to the beta version 2020.1_b21 and its all back up and running. Nice work on the additional sensors :+1:

756

Is the modified API for hive documented anywhere? I need to update my own custom codeā€¦

757

@theallan Not at the minute, it wasnā€™t as straight forward as changing a URL to another as previously. It required setup and configuration to communicate with AWS for it to work.

What are Hive doing these days!!! Even the app itself has been as flaky asā€¦ Multiple outages, heat on demand stops randomly and the only thing that fixes is it to power all devices off, including pulling out batteries and then powering everything on. Have spoken with support, donā€™t know what could cause this, and regarding the outages, the usual, they are very sorry for the inconvenience.

759

I found the heat on demand feature totally useless, for various reason, the biggest irritation is not being able to define schedules for heat on demand and a tolerance, i,e how cold before boosting. But i have my own version of it using nodered and this brilliant HA Hive integration :+1:

760

Yeah, Iā€™ve been considering resetting the entire system on zigbee2mqtt butā€¦
Would you care to share the node red sequence or flow? :grin:

761

Not working with beta here? Iā€™ve tried with 2FA on and off. Assuming Iā€™ll just have to wait for fix?

762

Hi @Stuartie what issue are you facing, are there any errors in the logs, are you setting it up via the UI?

763

@Khole got it, didnā€™t notice it was through the UI now. All my entities have changed names but suppose Iā€™ll just go through and fix them. Thanks for the quick work to fix it!

764

I do have one Hive TRV on zigbee2mqtt, but it needs alot more dev work. The only benefit over zigbee2mqtt vs this integration for the valves is the ability to see the valve position but hive donā€™t expose that on the API.
Happy to share my heat on demand node-red flow, will message you privately

765

@Stuartie, Ye that is one of the changes that is made to the upgrade it now uses the name set within the Hive App. They can be updated in the Hive App and then feed down to to HA automatically if needed.

Glad its working for you now, the YAML configuration will be available in the next beta version.

@MagicalTrev89 I would also be really interested in a heat on demand node red flow if you wouldnā€™t mind. I have tried this in the past with not very effective results

767

Beta version works for me. Thanks!

768

@Khole I just installed your beta after finding Hive finally broke the old login mechanism. Your integration works like a charm so many thanks. I appreciate the work youā€™ve put into this!

769

Same here :frowning: just upgraded to b21 but still unavailable. Do I need to do any conf?

770

@rechena have you reconfigured hive via the UI and not the YAML files?

771

Hi Guys,

Super noobie question here, I have the hive custom component installed via HACS, but how can I update to the beta version (via HACS).

Cheers.

772

Yeah that was it, but now all my automations and scripts stoped working since the naming convention has changed :frowning: from climate.heating to climate.zone_1 and climate.hotwater is now water.somethingā€¦ :frowning:

773

Also it seems things like sensor.hot_water_boost are gone :frowning:
