Hive Integration

Any clue when the next release (that includes the fix) will be ?

Sym0nd0 · October 1, 2020, 6:20pm

Is there anyway to continue to use this with 2FA enabled?

Anybody having issues boosting TRVs? I can boost the thermostat but not the TRVs - nothing happens. (I’ve fixed the login issue above already).

Scripts for both actions are as follows (first one works, second does nothing)

  boost_heating:
    sequence:
      - service: hive.boost_heating
        data:
          entity_id: "climate.heating"
          time_period: "00:30:00"
          temperature: "25"

         
  boost_living_room:
    sequence:
      - service: hive.boost_heating
        data:
          entity_id: "climate.living_room"
          time_period: "00:30:00"
          temperature: "25"

If you can’t wait for the fix to be pushed out. Here is what I did to fix it. CORE user with docker

Using the changes listed in the PR

Update aka change the .1 to .2
/usr/src/homeassistant/homeassistant/components/hive/manifest.json
/usr/src/homeassistant/requirements_all.txt

Reboot home assistant

Thanks! Solved the issue for me. In my case the container name was “homeassistant” without a dash

@Sooty, there should only be one version in HACS have you still got the manual version setup in your HACS setting via custom repositories. if so you need to delete that setting first.

sooty · October 2, 2020, 11:59am

What a numpty… Removed and fixed. Thanks @Khole!

Khole · October 2, 2020, 10:18pm

I don’t think we support boosting of TRV’s i haven’t got one myself so I’m unsure of their functionality.

DarrenHill · October 3, 2020, 9:41am

I’d like to add my thanks to @Magicaltrev89 and @bradderz too.

Got my HA running under DietPi, and the cognito tweak in pyhiveapi did the trick for me as well.

For anyone else who is using it that way, the location you need is

/mnt/dietpi_userdata/homeassistant/deps/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pyhiveapi/pyhiveapi.py

Sorry to bother you but by any chance is there any news on this?

Still unable to use the 2020.0 version, devices/services (using 3 multizone setup w. hotwater)do not appear in homeassistant.

Khole · October 3, 2020, 8:34pm

@CaptInsano Sorry I have been having toolkit issues since an upgrade to a new Dev version. I have released beta 5 now which fixes the URL issue. Please can you update to it and let me know if this fixes the issue for you?

CaptInsano · October 3, 2020, 9:00pm

Updated to 2020.1_b5, had to login via configuration.yaml rather then through the integrations UI but working great so far!

Thank you so much for all your work on this!

Khole · October 3, 2020, 9:18pm

@CaptInsano ye the ui piece still has bugs but the config yaml should work without issues.

Proxlx · October 3, 2020, 10:25pm

Hi all, thanks for the great work on this integration and apologies if this question has been answered previously!

Is it possible to add a second Hive account so that devices from 2 accounts (let’s say home and holiday home for example) show up in HA? I have the integration up and running with my account but was interested to know if you could somehow add a second username and password.

Any help much appreciated!

Kind regards

Khole · October 4, 2020, 10:23am

@Proxlx it’s not something we currently support but with the next version of the library it may support it, I can’t test it as I dont have 2 accounts.

" This version will setup the Home assitant hive component, but will also take device attributes within the hive system and set them up as individual sensors e.g Living Room Lamp Battery Level"

Is there an easy way to find out what additional sensors are provided by this custom component?

perjury1 · October 4, 2020, 2:26pm

Next question. Is there a reason why the water_heater operation modes are eco, on, off but the
hvac modes are auto, heat, off ?

Wouldn’t it be more consistent/logical if the water-heater modes were also named auto, heat, off ?

Khole · October 4, 2020, 2:49pm

@perjury1

I look at updating the docs for sensor types

But they are

Availability - online/offline
Mode - manual/schedule
Battery level

Specific for heating/hotwater
Current temp
Target temp
Heating/hotwater State
Boost state

With regards to hotwater unfortunatly we don’t have control over that, we use home assistant definitions and they would not allow us to use it as a climate entity as we did previously.

perjury1 · October 4, 2020, 3:39pm

@Khole thanks for your reply - I’ll raise the hot water modes as an issue in the core then.
Thanks for all the great work.

perjury1 · October 4, 2020, 5:07pm

@Khole, the response I got to my query about this is that ‘auto’ and ‘eco’ are quite different. Eco indicates a reduced power mode whereas ‘auto’ - in the context of hvac - refers to heating (or cooling) being applied as necessary. My water heating really operates in an analogous way to my heating. i.e. I set a schedule so it’s really ‘auto’ not ‘eco’. Is this not an option for you with the water heater integration?
If not, to whom should I direct a request to have ‘auto’ added as an operation mode as ‘eco’ doesn’t really seem to me to make sense in this context.
