I picked up a few of these on clearance at Lowe’s for less than $10, They successfully join with a “zha.permit” and show like this:
I don’t see any sensor or other entities that were created, so it’s likely this will not be usable in HA.
Anyone tried this out?
Thanks

@gohassgo I was able to successfully add my orbit faucet timer and had the same results as you. I tried telling HASS that it was a switch by adding it under device_config in my zha section of configuration.yaml and it showed up as a switch. I am able to turn it on and off via that switch, but the timer defaults to only 10 minutes of run time. I am not sure how to set the default or change it.
EDIT: Also, once the timer is up, the switch does not automatically turn off. It shows as on even though the device is not allowing water through.
Here’s a link to some code for a smartThings device handler. The readme covers how it handles the 10-minute default on time. Basically, it would be HA/ST that would manage the timing and not the device.
We could use the timer component or get fancy with Schedy to resend more minutes before the default 10 expire, if you want to extend the run time.
