Hi guys, I’ve had the Lyric T6 installed yesterday and I’m trying to get it integrated with my home assistant instance. With the component setup and home assistant rebooted I try to get the authentication going, but when I enter my credentials at the Honeywell site where I’m redirected to. The only response I get is “Sorry, we cannot find a user with these credentials.”. although I can still login with the same credentials using the Honeywell app. Anybody got some pointers as what I might be doing wrong?
EDIT: Resetting my password now (couple of hours later) seems to work. At first it didn’t work and reset password e-mails weren’t received. Now I get a 400 when trying to set up the thermostat.
Hi, I am about to replace my nest, I am looking at the Honeywell Lyric T6R-HW but from the looks of things, it does not look like there is an official component nor the unofficial ones being stable… can anyone comment?
I dont want to jump out the frying pan into the fire
Using HomeKit Accessory integration, my wifi HA thermostat cards for my T6 and T5 are up and accurate (i.e. they accurately present the current state of these devices) but no adjustments can be made from the UI. Same problem trying to run any climate automations calling a service (no errors but no changes are made after the automation triggers).
If you’re using the Homekit plug in, I’ve had the same problem, reads fine, but won’t make adjustments. I use the plugin which works find in making adjustments…now it would be nice if this would become official plugin with HA.
@ski522, Actually, I’m running this with the recently updated HomeKit integration, which now (allegedly) works with Honeywell Lyric Thermostats. Sounds like it has the same problems the unofficial plugin previously had. Oh well.
Will you do me a favor and check which plugin you are now using? I see there are couple of authors out with plugins that attempt to work with the Honeywell API. Thanks!
Edit: Well, gang, after few more hours of reading and messing around and I’m about to toss these brand new thermostats.
Official HK Accessory Plugin = Good display but no ability to adjust temp from HA.
Honeywell Lyric Integration from HACS = Dead-end at “Error 500 - Server in trouble.”
Seems while some are having success with one of these approaches, many are not so lucky.
ok so the state of this component from a Home Assistant point of view is in a bit of a mess… too many developers doing the same thing as “official” where another custom component does work… I have raised this with @ludeeus before regarding the traccar component… we need to develop some clear guidelines so that all the power that we have as a community is harnessed together and not everyone doing their own thing and then claiming their as the official when it is actually inferrior to other component already in existance…
Create a folder in your custom_components folder called lyric, the copy the files from the repo above one by one in raw format (pasting into notepad++ and saving in the newly created lyric directory NOTE there is a folder in there called .translation which you will also need to replicate…
Once you are done, restart and then the Honeywell Lyric integration should appear in the list of available integrations…
As this is super fiddly, all I can suggest is check, check and check again the files you created. I am fyi using the t6r hw unit and it’s working great! Anyone want to buy a nest?
Since it works, I’m rolling with it. You’re right, of course, implementation of this is hampered by the competing efforts to get something that works reliably.
well i thought I had it setup right it worked once or twice, or maybe my thermostat just came on at the right time. Now I guess its still not right… anyway you can guide me @tarheelz ?
I reset my t5 and cleared the homekit stuff: hold down menu till the config options come up, go to reset -> homekit (not sure if this is needed, but i made sure to start fresh)
restart HA… profit.
and yes. its better, then the homekit version
EDIT:: Jan - 2021 The homekit version is much better now. Dont bother with this setup.
Thermostat entities (Upstairs and Downstairs) now both report as “Unavailable.” There is a report of “Restored: true” but no current information is exposed. I’ve reinstalled a couple of times but result is always the same. Might go back to homekit for awhile.
