Homematic IP: HmIP-BWTH missing channels

I am using some HmIP-BWTH, and they show up in HA and basic usage works (getting current temperature, setting desired temperature).

But I need to log the output switch setting (the valve control), which is channel 8 of the HmIP-BWTH. It does not show up anywhere in the attributes. What am I doing wrong?

Any ideas?

Is there a generic way of adding homematic channels to home assistent, if they don’t show up automatically?

Currently, I am using nodered as a workaround (just connecting the desired homematic channel to a mqtt output, and manually creating a home assistant sensor).

Hello

I just started with Home Assistant and have exactly the same issue. I would like to see the status of the valves in a dashboard.

Did you find a better solution then the workaround you mentioned in your second post?

Thanks

What integration are you using?

Hi, i have the same problem.
my setup is:
Home Assistant version 2023.10.5
Add ON RaspberryMatic CCU version: 3.71.12.20231020
Connection HA to HM in configuration.yml with homematic: … interfaces: … hmip: …

the problem is that by default the information for this device with this special channel that show if the floor heating is on or off right now is not collected. not as sensor or as attribute in the climate object that represent the device in home assistant.

would be nice to get a solution, I have also read the homematic docs from home assistant but I didn´t understand all. it seems to me there is way to get values with a special manual configuration , but I don’t understand it.

I recommend to switch to the new integration: GitHub - danielperna84/custom_homematic: Custom Home Assistant Component for HomeMatic, which should be installed via HACS. It has better support for newer devices, and the old core integration is not really being maintained anymore.

I actually thought they had written deprecated on the old configuration.yaml integration.
I do not think it have been maintained for some time now, as custom_homematic have completely out smarted it.
