Lennox iComfort Wi-Fi

ut666 · February 10, 2017, 9:26pm

Hi all,

I would like to share some work to integrate the Lennox iComfort thermostat as a sensor into home-assistant.

The custom component is here:
https://github.com/ut666/Homeassistant/blob/master/custom_components/sensor/lennox.py

Usage example is here:

sensor:

platform: lennox
username: icomfort_username
password: icomfort_password

This is only for the iComfort Wi-Fi, not the S30.
Information about the lennox API can be found here:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ut666/LennoxThermoPi-II/master/lennoxAPI.html

The next step is to venture into the hass climate platform!
Thanks,
ut.

Thank you so much for this!

I was getting a conversion problem with the temperature units. I had to set the temperature units to TEMP_FAHRENHEIT for it to work correctly. Setting TempUnits=1 in the request URL may also work.

How Did you get it to work?

I’d love to use this to put triggering home and away status into a scene.

Hi all,

Since there is a bit of interest in this, here is a work-in-progress update.
Firstly the things that do not work yet or have not been tested.

I only have 1 house, 1 thermostat and 1 zone, so anything outside of that is untested.
Setting away mode is not yet implemented
Reading and setting programs is not yet implemented.
The F or C is hard coded for now (sorry!)

I finally got a chance to play with the climate platform.
Here are the files if you want to test/play.

Here is the api,

github.com

ut666/LennoxPy/blob/master/lennox_api.py

import requests
import json

class Lennox_iComfort_API():
    """Representation of the Lennox iComfort thermostat sensors."""
    
    def __init__(self, username, password, system, zone):
        """Initialize the sensor."""
        self._name = 'lennox'
        self._username = username
        self._password = password

        self._system = system
        self._zone = zone

        self._serialNumber = "Unknown"

        self._temperature = "Unknown"
        self._humidity = "Unknown"
        self._heatto = "Unknown"

This file has been truncated. show original

which you need to stick manually for now in:
.homeassistant\deps\lib\python3.4 or .homeassistant\deps\ depending on you hass version.

Then the custom climate component is here:

And example setup is:

climate:
  - platform: lennox
    name: iComfort
    username: !secret lennox_username
    password: !secret lennox_password

and some example template sensors from this are here:

github.com

ut666/Homeassistant/blob/master/sensors/templates/lennox.yaml

platform: template
sensors:
  lennox_temperature:
    value_template: "{{states.climate.lennox.attributes.current_temperature | float}}"
    friendly_name: "Temperature"
    unit_of_measurement: '°C'
  lennox_humidity:
    value_template: "{{states.climate.lennox.attributes.current_humidity | float}}"
    friendly_name: "Humidity"
    unit_of_measurement: '%'
  lennox_status:
    value_template: "{{states.climate.lennox.attributes.status}}"
    friendly_name: "Status"
  lennox_mode:
    value_template: "{{states.climate.lennox.attributes.operation_mode}}"
    friendly_name: "Mode"
  lennox_fan:
    value_template: "{{states.climate.lennox.attributes.fan_mode}}"
    friendly_name: "Fan"
  lennox_program:

This file has been truncated. show original

Will update as soon as I get more time to finish this, aim is to expose more functionality and user configurable settings
Hopefully I will find the time to also create a PyPi package to make this easier to be officially supported.

Happy hacking!
ut.

This is great! I’m going out of town this week, but can’t wait to play with it when I get back!

gregwjacobs · August 19, 2017, 2:59am

Happy to see some hacking with iComfort and HASS. I’m really interested in getting home/away triggers setup also. When you are ready for more to install/test or scratch let me know. I’ve got a single dwelling setup also.

mehdih · October 28, 2017, 4:27pm

Hi,
I’m using hassio on Raspberry Pi3 but am not able to locate the folder you mentioned to copy lennox_api.py to it.
Any hint how I can copy this file so that it gets properly imported through Lennox.py component?
Is there any other way to load the api within configuration.yml file?
Thanks a million
Cheers

What paths(s) do the above flle(s) get copied into on a recent install of hass.io?

ironlion27 · August 14, 2018, 5:56pm

Any plans on getting this integrated into the main project branch rather than being a side hack?

ut666 · August 28, 2018, 6:43pm

I’ve not maintained this any further unfortunately, no idea if it even still works.

But a solution I use, which works well, although will not be for everybody as it uses SmartThings.

I installed this in my SmartThings.

And then I use the SmartThings2MQTT to get my thermostat into HASS.
This means even Alexa sees the thermostat etc.
But of course it relies on SmartThings and mqtt…

Just thought I’d share…
