(Browser-) Cache?

icykettle · July 29, 2020, 8:06pm

I’ve hard refreshed and also tried incognito. Nothing changes. I also changed toggles name to “offf” and not even that changes.

Do changes to js files like these not take effect with a full HA restart? Do you have to reinitialize something?

finity · July 29, 2020, 8:43pm

Yes, you have to do a full HA restart for the js file to get reloaded. Then you may also have to clear the cache again as well after the restart.

But moving the button order around has been a feature request a couple of times. I put it out on the thread as a question a little while ago and no one stated an opinion one way or the other so I didn’t pursue it any further.

Maybe I will now.

icykettle · July 29, 2020, 10:44pm

Yep, have done multiple restarts and cleared cache/launched incognito/checked mobile. No difference.

Probably unrelated, but I’m also having an issue with the BHA Icons Pack, where the icons just come and go without any rhyme or reason. Sometimes they load, sometimes they don’t. Sometimes they load in my main session, but then don’t load in a new incognito session. This is across multiple machines and the Android app. Again, probably unrelated and I don’t expect to get help on that item in this thread. But just in case there’s something about my HA that would be causing cache-related issues, I thought I’d mention it.

Running HA on a RPi4 B 2019 64-bit

EDIT: okay I just realized that the reason I often don’t see the BHA icons in incognito is because incog sessions always load with the backend-selected theme, and so the icons are white-on-white.

There’s still some funkiness with those icons from time to time, but not nearly as much as I thought. Disregard that angle.

paddy0174 · July 30, 2020, 12:03am

It must be a cache issue. The code does work the way you wanted it to, that can be seen in the code. I have no idea, which cache it is, Browser, HA, maybe your OS setup? But I don’t see any other reason, why it shouldn’t work…

What I do in such cases, just to avoid any browser cache issues, run a portable browser and try again (if necessary, delete and re-unzip again). Do a few restarts of HA, or maybe the whole Pi. Caches are sometimes real b****

Just got a switch with the Fan and Light all in one. Love it. This entity row works well with what i was looking for. Only issue I am having is that when I click the high medium or low the off stays highlighted. But I can confirm that the settings are getting pushed to the switch.

finity · July 31, 2020, 2:52pm

What does the state of the fan in the developers tools states list show when you switch to the different fan speeds?

kkoalville · July 31, 2020, 3:00pm

Shows the stats as off but shows the change in the speed on the right side under Attributes shows the speed changing.

finity · July 31, 2020, 3:06pm

that’s why it won’t work.

the control row looks for the state to change from “off” to un-highlight the “OFF” button.

As far as I know all fans should change their state to “on” when you change speeds to something other than “off” so that seems like a bug in the integration that you should report.

But I think the only way to fix it if you have no other way to fix the mis-reporting state is to create a “template fan” using the controls of your existing fan to get everything to display properly.

It’s not ideal but unless you can get the integration for your fan fixed it’s the only way I know to make it work.

What brand/protocol fan is it?

kkoalville · July 31, 2020, 3:26pm

Its a Treatlife DS03 fairly new product I converted it to Tasmota. I did determine that if i force the state to ON. It does show properly highlighting the speeds. I think it was a snafu with Home Assistant not refreshing my power states. Learn something new everyday. Thanks for your wonderful Entity / Fan Card!

finity · July 31, 2020, 4:58pm

Well, that’s strange. As of the last time I converted my iFan03’s to tasmota everything worked with my card out of the gate.

Hopefully it keeps working. If not come back and we’ll see if we can get it straightened out.

I’m not really sure why it wouldn’t still work.

I’m on v113.1 and my test set up that I used to test the code I gave you still works for me.

Here is my working code (I use all_fans instead of group_fans):

Thanks that helped. I had added - ‘off’ to the list of speeds for some reason.

Fixed now.

Updated my post with the corrrect code.

jwestyp · August 19, 2020, 11:50pm

Has anyone added a fifth button to the row? I have a fan with a 4 speed regulator. An example list would be:

Off
High
Med
Med-Low
Low

finity · August 20, 2020, 1:25am

I haven’t tho I’ve had requests for a control row with more buttons.

I guess I should just bite the bullet and make some.

But where does it stop? I’ve been asked for a 4 speed, a 5 speed and a 6 speed. I think I even saw someone mention a 10 speed fan once

The more buttons you have the less real estate on the entity row you have for the entity name and it starts to look not so good.

But I think the biggest hurdle I’ll have is coming up with a standardized set of controls. Does everyone with a 4 speed fan call the speeds as you have above or are they going to be off, hi, med-hi, med, low? or some other combination? And the more buttons you add the more complex that becomes.

I guess I could make the speeds configurable in the options but then the configuration starts to become unwieldy.

But give me a few days and I will try to come up with something and make some more.

finity · August 20, 2020, 9:16am

Also as an FYI for anyone who hasn’t seen the other thread about the new cards just be aware that there are breaking changes in the config options. I wanted to get all of the options for the different plugins at least mostly consistent so sorry for the inconvenience.

please see the readme for the new options.

jwestyp · August 20, 2020, 2:29pm

Thanks! I chose med-low because med-high seemed strange when typing it. haha. Anyway, I have no idea how to actually make a standard. Low-Med, High-med, etc. I am willing to jump in and try my hand at helping you out if you need a hand to make it more dynamic.

Scott_C · August 26, 2020, 3:30am

If anyone cares or is trying to do the same thing. I’m implementing this with my Hunter ceiling fans that have RF remotes for them.
I’ve written out the code for the fans to run via RF transmitter from a wemos D1 mini, but am having issues getting the HA coding and template solid. Seems like the ‘off’ button doesn’t work for me and I’m continually plagued with “Custom element doesn’t exist: fan-control-entity-row.”

My arduino coding is pretty novice so bare with me.
Before sharing the code though, I will mention, I tried to install HACS, and had to do it manually. I could never get the integration to load from the GUI.
I’m running the latest versions as of right now ( 0.114.3 , HASS OS 4.12 , Supervisor v235, Frontend version: 20200811.0 - latest)

I tried to add some of andrey’s html files and things seemed to take a dip and breaking.
I’ve since reverted most of what I can remember I changed, rebooted HA, restarted HA, and cleared cache, but I’m still getting the custom card not found.

Previously, I couldn’t get the buttons to change colors upon selecting. Monitoring the serial from my Wemos, I could tell that all signals were being sent, with the exception of “off” or rather, the command payload I had set to “4”.

Here’s the wemos D1 mini code, I still have to decode the guest bedroom 1’s ceiling fan’s remote codes to binary:

It’'s still a work in progress, but I’ll post the updates and revised version once it is working.
Any questions about it, please ask.

I thought I would contribute something before asking for help.

Edit: this wemos/arduino code does NOT publish on EVERY mqtt payload, the code as of today, does.

I ended up reverting to snapshot and cleanly installing again.
I do, however, still have issues with this card. I know the buttons are sending mqtt payloads, but the buttons never change status.

Is there a newer version or a setting I need to make to the .json file?
When I click on H,M,L the mdi icon doesn’t change, as well as the button state doesn’t change. Also, “OFF” button does nothing for me.

Any ideas?

and the fan.yaml:

          {% if value_json.FanSpeed == 0 -%}0{%- elif value_json.FanSpeed > 0 -%}2{%- endif %}
        {% else %}
          {% if states.fan.guest_bedroom_1_fan.state == 'off' -%}0{%- elif states.fan.guest_bedroom_1_fan.state == 'on' -%}2{%- endif %}
        {% endif %}
