La Marzocco GS/3 & Linea Mini support

It turns off, but not reliably (it doesn’t turn off every time). Try the newest beta, my first tests showed an improvement. But I‘m well aware of this issue, I’m using this sensor to start and stop my Acaia scale (through GitHub - zweckj/acaia: Home Assistant integration for Acaia scales)

Now it works without problems

I have a question:
does anyone have a similar issue, my linea mini detects a to hot brew boiler and the fuses jump, this happens almost every time when turned on via home assistant but never when turning it on with the lever. Also it sometimes happens while operating it, never when it is not connected to any home assistant (had a test just 2 days).
I wonder if it can be that home assistant is the reason, I can not believe it but it looks that way doesn’t it?

Hi Guys,

Thanks for all the great work on this integration
If I want to make a shot timer, I assume that I would use the sensor “binary_sensor.lm005255_brew_active sensor” and just put a timer on it, is that correct?

Thanks

Yep exactly

Hi, back again with another beginner’s question: my Home Assistant has been off-line for several months and I decided to get it working again. The card asks for “Username*” and “Password*”, “IP Address”. Is this the user name (email address) and password for the LMLM app? Or the “Username*” and “Password*”, “IP Address*” for Home Assistant?

User and password from the LM App, IP of your coffee machinea

Hi,

I decided to do a complete clean reinstall of Home Assistant on my Raspberry Pi 4B. I installed ssh/Terminal, HACS. I went to Integrations, found La Marzocco, used the ClientID* and Client Secret* from the GitHub documentation, used my email address and password for the La Marzocco app (verified it by logging out and logging back in), and the IP address of my Linea Mini (verified by turning off the LM and turning it back on again and watching the LAN scan). It failed. Note: I did have it running for over a year, but was away from home Jan-Mar of this year, came back and it was not working. So I decided to try to get it running again last week. I use the Home Assistant integration so I can connect to Apple HomeKit, so I can use Siri to turn the machine on and off, nothing else, just voice commands to turn it on and off. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Ron

Firstly you need to update your machine to the newest firmware using the LM app. Secondly, the integration from @rccoleman will not work anymore, you need to add my repo as custom repository GitHub - zweckj/lamarzocco: Interact with your La Marzocco espresso machine

First of all, thanks for your great work! :+1:
Do you see any chance to implement an entity to stop an extraction?
There is hope that such a function was implemented with the last firmware update to the mini in order to use the new brew-by-weight feature with the lm labeled acaia lunar.

There pretty certainly is such an endpoint on the machine, the challenge will be to figure out the actual command which needs to be sent to the machine. Neither I, nor Rob own a Mini and on top of that, we relied on monitoring what the app does in the past, which might not be possible here.
If someone figured out the endpoint, adding the entity would be an effort of minutes…

That sounds at least promising :slight_smile:
Is there anyway how I could support as a Mini-owner with limited programming skills but high interest in this specific topic and willing to dig into it? :upside_down_face:

Since the Lunar scale communicates over Bluetooth, my guess is that the machine is just monitoring the weight and deciding when to stop itself, but I haven’t looked into the feature.

Hm, right. Could also be possible.

Unfortunately I don’t think so. We’d need someone with both the Mini and the new Lunar scale who monitors the traffic when setting/using this feature between the phone and the machine.

Unfortunately, I don’t have a lm lunar (and don’t plan to buy one), so I can’t support here.

Hypothetically, wouldn’t it actually also be possible to flash the ESPxxx on the IOT kit with an ESPHome firmware? That would probably simplify things and above all enable a strictly local connection, but that would certainly be going too far here :wink:

Hi there, I have a Linea Micra and am unsure if I am in the right place, or what I need to be installing. I am a new Home Assistant user but it is fully installed with HACS enabled & functional. Hoping for direction or information on where to begin, as I see a previous comment above saying the one I was about to use no longer works, so I am confused - thanks kindly!

You should follow the instructions here to install zweckj’s new custom integration and it should work fine with your Micra. I also see that he started the process of trying to get it merged to HA core, which would be most welcome :slight_smile: .

What Rob said. @rccoleman you need to reply on the core PR first :grimacing:

Sadly, this does not work.

First of all, the instructions say there will be a box that pops up prompting for username, password, and IP address. The information must be out of date, because there is not even an IP address box

Furthermore, it instantly fails with both sets of provided credentials with “Authentication Failure” and no more meaningful output, so I don’t even know if it’s even attempting to interface with the machine or not, since there is no IP address field as per the instructions on the main page!

Thanks for any guidance on what I’m supposed to do next

I am a Linea Micra owner and use the La Marzocco app on my Android phone via both WiFi and Bluetooth with zero problems!
