Hi,
i am using Home Assistant for my private Home project.
before starting HomeAssistant i was using IO-Broker.
in my house i have 3 floors.
for each floor / level i have a separate VAGO Controller to do my electricity stuf
means:
- blinds
- lights
- Heating on or of
- Window open close sensor
etc. is handled by WAGO / Codesys
For sure there are also other technologies in use e.g. Zigbee or MQTT.
So what i am now doing:
I am switching over from IO-Broker to Home Assistant.
Since the last 3 days my family complains:
the switch is reacting slower than before.
Switch means in real pushbutton in the wall (reals Hardware connected to a digital input of my WAGO Controller)
What hapens 3 day before?
I started moving the MODBUS configuration into the home Assistant…
to see my update of a switch / or a opened window emediately i did the configuration as followed: (just parts )
modbus:
# WAGO UG
- name: "WAGO_UG"
host: 192.168.178.99
type: tcp
port: 502
# schalter für Automatische Beschattung Rolladen / Raffstores
switches:
- name: Beschattung Kueche
write_type: coil
address: 12304
scan_interval: 1
verify:
input_type: coil
address: 12304
- name: Beschattung EssZimmer (Treppe)
write_type: coil
address: 12305
scan_interval: 1
verify:
input_type: coil
address: 12305
- name: Beschattung EssZimmer (Tal)
write_type: coil
address: 12306
scan_interval: 1
verify:
input_type: coil
address: 12306
here are a lot of variables sonfigured (600 lines of code… like theese and still not everything moved to HA)
and each is polled separately.
inside my IO-Broker i did not have to take care about scan interval… i saw a change in the Modbus directly.
in HomeAssistant i have to do the Scan, otherwhise
I am also loosing the connection to my Shelly EM3Pro since then every 3 hours…
(I belive als the shelly is able to do modbus…)
So my feeling is:
The configuration i sid above to use MODBUS is not quite perfect.
is ther someone who uses similar setups
i am looking forward for new ideas / optimizations
Best Regards
Brenny
