Honeywell T6 state isn’t changing

Where do I add this information? If there is a white paper on how it gets done, that’s great!

Firstly, in future please format your post correctly for the forum to help us help you https://community.home-assistant.io/t/how-to-help-us-help-you-or-how-to-ask-a-good-question/114371#oneone-format-it-properly-16

As for your question it is an automation so you can use the automation editor: Automation editor - Home Assistant

OR you can enter it directly into your automations.yaml file. Though if you do this it would be best to create another file so that you can still use the editor if you want to. To do this add this to your configuration.yaml file:

automation: !include automations.yaml # GUI automation editor
automation yaml: !include manual_automations.yaml # YAML automations

Do a configuration check (Developer Tools → YAML) and if that passes restart.

You can then directly enter yaml into the manual_automations.yaml file and the automation editor will use the seperate automations.yaml file.

Another option is the automation editor, create new, three dot menu at top right, edit in yaml.

Delete all there and paste in your yaml. Three dot menu at top right again, edit in visual editor.

You will then see how it looks visually.

No extra yaml files. And can be edited again visually without issues.

Should help in keeping the overwhelmedness factor down I think.

Will this code solve the issue of updating the temperature and what mode it’s in, heat, cool, etc?

No idea. That’s not what you asked or provided information on.

I don’t have a T6. I didn’t go to the thread where you got this code.

Trying to help with baby steps :wink:

Best I can say is follow the above and test it out.

is there any way to see if an automation has taken place? This is another topic along the same lines, but I don’t know where to look for when any of the other automations that I’ve implemented actually happen.

I used to get a text from Vera

Yup. In the editor, check traces. In the three dot menu on mobile or next to it on PC.

You can add another action for testing if needed to notify.

Why are you adding this?
What is your goal?

I am not getting state information for my thermostat. I will turn it on at the panel and the app/web says that it’s off and idle. I have to turn it quickly on then off using the app if I want to make sure it’s off. Then I will turn it off at the panel if I turned it on using web/app and the app will say it’s still on heat mode.

The zwave js for my T6 is obviously broken and the developer that is in charge of it on Github closed another issue related to the integration saying it wasn’t a bug but people here says it was so I don’t have faith he will ever fix it there, so I am trying to poll it like it should have been done in the first place.

Better to fix this than create a duplicate task as workaround

Is it possible that messages are not getting to it. I would guess you have some network issue

12

@Paddy707 please post the link where you got this code so we can understand.

Looks like here:

@jeffcrum @busman that is it. I am wondering for my circumstance if this fits? I am not sure where to go for all the values to see what the options are and if this overkill or the perfect solution.

15

Maybe update your subject. “New to HA – Slightly Overwhelmed” sounds like you came here for a hug.

Obviously broken? What debugging has led you to that conclusion? Do you have logs and/or screenshots?

You can turn on debugging in the integration panel for z-wave js. Or show screenshots.

My T6 is reporting state changes:

Ok. I don’t mean zwave js is broken. I mean mine isn’t working, and is broken.

17

My ZWA-2 is sitting 10 feet from it but is reporting -74 dBm which seems low. I have two Vera controllers sitting nearby and am wondering if they might be causing the issue.

18

Where can I get the activity screen?

19

This is an invitation for issues later. Never mix manually-created automations with UI-created automations.

This is in my configuration.yaml:

automation ui: !include automations.yaml
automation manual: !include_dir_merge_list automations/

The first is where the UI will put UI-generated automations.
The second points to a folder containing my manually-generated automations. You can put any automation .yaml file in that folder. If something goes wrong, just delete the file and restart Home Assistant.

A bunch of places. That is part the device’s screen. When you included your T6 into the z-wave network the integration creates a device, which is kind of like a container, that groups all the entities (sensors and controls) for that device.

There’s Settions → Devices, you can press “d” on almost any page and search for devices.
