I will! Can i test it with 0.5.6? Does it need special configuration?

@zxdavb: i get this error when i check the config:
Invalid config for [evohome_cc]: required key not provided @ data['evohome_cc']['config']['enforce_allowlist']. Got None. (See ?, line ?).

phdelodder · February 20, 2021, 6:33pm

Check this out:

evohome_cc:
  serial_port: /dev/ttyUSB0
  scan_interval: 15
  config:
    packet_log: /config/evohome_cc_packet.log
    enforce_allowlist: false

Cinamon · February 20, 2021, 6:48pm

Thx! @phdelodder!
It’s up and running now. Can i test something special?

zxdavb · February 20, 2021, 7:05pm

Invalid config for [evohome_cc]: required key not provided

This is now fixed, the key is no longer required - please consider removing it from your config to check.

Cinamon · February 20, 2021, 7:07pm

When i don’t use: enforce_allowlist: false i will get the same error.
when i add it, it works good.

zxdavb · February 20, 2021, 7:21pm

Did you pull the last version of the repo?

Cinamon · February 20, 2021, 7:23pm

I have just pulled the latest version and i dont need the enforce_allowlist anymore.
@zxdavb can i test something special?

The eco option does works! perfect!

zxdavb · February 20, 2021, 7:37pm

Why not try the allow_list (whitelist) functionality?

Also set the max_zones parameter.

And everyone should be using schema: {controller: ...}

evohome_cc:
  serial_port: /dev/ttyUSB0
  config:
    enforce_allowlist: True
    max_zones: 8
  schema:
    controller: 01:145038
  allow_list:
    - 01:145038
    - 04:056053
...

In fact, the plan is to strongly recommend people use all three of these, going forward.

Cinamon · February 20, 2021, 8:20pm

I try now the max_zones and allow_list. (First i have to figured out which number for which room)

i have now:

  serial_port: /dev/serial/by-id/usb-1a86_USB2.0-Serial-if00-port0
  scan_interval: 60
  config:
    packet_log: /config/packets.log
    enforce_allowlist: True
    max_zones: 4
  schema:
    controller: 01:087939
  allow_list:
    - 18:073736

Update: max_zones works! he picked now 4 valves instead of 8.
@zxdavb allow_list are the valves to accept or not?

zxdavb · February 20, 2021, 8:30pm

For now all your devices need to be in the allow_list…

My records tell me you have 8 zones, no?

Cinamon · February 20, 2021, 8:33pm

yes thats correct, i have 8 zones but i want to test the function and it works!
now i have to found the other ID’s, how could i find them?

Hmm… For the ‘climate’ I still only have this displayed:

zxdavb · February 20, 2021, 8:53pm

@dariusz PM me a packet.log and a HA log. You’ll need:

logger:
  default: info  # don't use debug
  logs:
    homeassistant.core: debug  # to see: Event state_changed
    homeassistant.loader: info  # You are using a custom integration for evohome_cc...
    homeassistant.setup: info  # Setting up evohome_cc

    custom_components.evohome_cc: info
    custom_components.evohome_cc.*: info

    evohome_rf: warning
    evohome_rf.*: warning
    evohome_rf.packet_log: info  # info=STDOUT, warning=STDERR
    evohome_rf.protocol: info  # for rcvd msgs

# Use your own values here...
evohome_cc:
  serial_port: /dev/ttyUSB0
  scan_interval: 60
  config:
    packet_log: /home/dbonnes/home-assistant/.config/packet.log
    max_zones: 16
  schema:
    controller: 01:xxxxxx

From startup of HA, for about 10 mins.

zxdavb · February 20, 2021, 9:26pm

@cinnamon

run without a whitelist
check out out the schema in the HA log
you’ll see all your devices
check that list against what devices you have and how you beleive your system is configured
put instructions in the wiki: https://github.com/zxdavb/evohome_cc/wiki/Tips-for-the-configuration.yaml-file

Note: when you see your schema - don’t be surprised to see the system isn’t configured as you expect - this is common…

phdelodder · February 21, 2021, 6:41am

Do I need to add the controller, oth, hgi80 also in the allowlist? Or only the radiators?

Currently I compiled the following list:

allow_list:
    - 01:223036
    - 10:040239
    - 04:231770
    - 04:231772
    - 04:231774
    - 04:231776
    - 04:050559
    - 04:155445
    - 04:155403
    - 04:081849
    - 04:155443
    - 04:155407
    - 04:155551
    - 04:155533
    - 04:155537

Cinamon · February 21, 2021, 7:52am

@phdelodder i see in a post of David above that he add’s also the controller in the whitelist.

zxdavb · February 21, 2021, 10:15am

This wiki entry has been heavily updated: Tips for the configuration.yaml file

I strongly recommend using a controller ID, and an allow list.

dariusz · February 21, 2021, 12:00pm

Is the ‘manual install’ correct?

When I follow that - I get something like this - see below.
I.e. I have another ‘custom_components’ folder under ‘evohome_cc’.

zxdavb · February 21, 2021, 12:13pm

Note: the latest version of

evohome_rf is 0.5.7 - this will be pulled down from the internet, automatically
evohome_cc is the master branch of the repo - it does say 0.5.6, but is really 0.5.7.

You do not need to install evohome_rf - HA should pull it down from PyPi

Your directory structure should be:

custom_components
    evohome_cc
        __init__.py
        ...

dariusz · February 21, 2021, 2:26pm

O.K. Changed to new…
Now for ‘climate’ I see:

When I press 1-st one:

But when I want to change the temperature:

It stay for few seconds - then goes back to 17:
