I changed the password so it now includes only an “@” as a special character, however that didn’t resolve the issue.
The log entries:
Setup failed for evohome: Integration failed to initialize.

Hi there, firstly thanks for the great work ! I’m taking my first steps on a Smartthings to HA migration due to the ongoing work Samsung are doing on ensuring that my home automation will slowly start to collapse over time !
I’m learning a lot and having the usual ongoing Google search, try, smash head against brick wall and then repeat…again…and again…
I’ve set up Evohome Zone Boost Automations, which took a while to get the required 30 minute duration, rather than the default next set point. This involved using Duration and Minutes Data points.
I’ve now spent time trying to get the DHW to turn on and off, but I couldn’t get either water_heater.turn_on or water_heater.set_operation_mode to accept a Duration… water_heater.turn_on defaults to Permanent and water_heater.set_operation_mode defaults to the next setpoint.
I do know that the Evohome API can accept a Duration on the DHW in some shape or form as it’s possible on the existing Smartthings Integration by @andremain , who coincidentally has moved to HA so hopefully could advise on the Evohome API parameters !!
To be able to show a room as being heated, which state should I look at? I want to change the room icon colour to show that the thermostat is on and giving heat.
I could just assume that the room temperature is lower than the set temperature but I think that is not the best solution.
Beware - the heat demand per zone will tell you what teh zone wants - it wont tell you what the controller has decided to do about it (that is, optimisations) - although the above integration will also tell you if the boiler is receiving a call for heat.
I am sorry, I do not have capacity fro this at the moment - almost all my spare time is working with the RF version (although I do have an outstanding evohome PR with two more waiting for it to be merged).
I would be willing to facilitate a PR to HA’s evohome integration, or to evohome-async.
The state-of-the-art is the RF integration (see above post) - it should do want you’re wanting, and more - for example:
Thank you I will check that out. It seems a bit over the top for what I want to do. I will see if I have any integration that can listen for that channel already (probably not).
Thanks for this, I will look into the RF Integration as it could contain some of the parameters that I have asked @andremain over on the Smartthings side before he moved to Home Assistant, such as the % Demand setting that a zone is at e.g. Lounge - 80%.
With respect to PR I’m assuming that you mean Pull Request ? But coming for a Demand Management background you could also mean Product Request. Can you please clarify what you mean !
Having problems with making automations with the evohome integration.
For some reason I do not find and entities when creating an automation.
But the climate entities are present.
Someone who can point me in the right direction?
While i did make the latest Evohome integration for Smartthings, i am really not a developer, I got a lot of help from Nayely. I hope you manage to achieve what you are looking for.
Hi I set up a simple How water on for 30 mins schedule as a boost with a hot water off as the final part of the automation. Unfortunately the off sets as permanent rather than reverting to schedule. Can someone advise what command sets it back to the schedule (as set in the Evohome app)?
Thanks
