Ok gezien. Zie je dit ook terug in de history graph van de interval sensor?
En hoe zien de history graphs van de andere sensoren eruit?

oops ik geloof dat ik ook even andere momenten moet gaan kijken in het dashboard

mikje · February 2, 2022, 9:25am

there are values now. Thx for all the support

bouwew · February 2, 2022, 5:22pm

Great, I kind of figured that was the problem

mikje · February 2, 2022, 6:26pm

sorry for my fault

I have used this integration (beta version, because the built-in version wouldn’t install it) to setup my Plugwise sensors. Strangly the measured watts of the sensor.sensor_electricity_consumed_interval give me lower readings then when I check the Stretch API?

I created a seperate topic just before I found this topic; Template sensor measuring to low energy

What could be the issue here?

Is there a sensor to report back if the heating is switched on/off? From the graph I can see (yellow) that the integration already knows when the heating is switched on. But I’d like to trigger a task based on this.

@Ceaus No there is not at the moment, but we are working on adding a binary_sensor.
Will let you know when it’s available.

@bouwew Awesome, thanks. I appreciate the hard work and dedication. Hats off!

@Ceaus please test plugwise-beta v0.21.0.

Ceaus · February 21, 2022, 7:32pm

Works like a charm I now have the circulation pump activated in sync with Anna being switched on/off. The pump was running 24/7 at 57 Watts. Not anymore!

Do you have a donations option? I’d like to share a bit of my savings with you.

In the meantime, there have been two minor Plugwise-beta updates:

V0.21.1:

Fix issue where notifications would cause an error (see issue #238)
Restore Homekit-functionality present in v0.20.1 and earlier versions

V0.21.2:

Make HomeKit emulation an option (like scan-interval)

Detailed release info:

Also FYI: in HA Core v2022.3.0 the Plugwise Integration will be fully updated.
The code-base of the Core Plugwise Integration and Plugwise-beta is now the same.
Please note: the Core Integration will not have the Options (change scan_interval, enable HomeKit emulation) that are present in Plugwise-beta.

Today we released a minor Plugwise-beta update:

V0.21.5:

There are two (minor) changes that may or may not be breaking in your setup, please read the detailed release notes for more information. Your opentherm outdoor_temperature sensor has been renamed and the schedule attributes of your thermostat are named schedules (and not schema’s).
Following up on a great suggestion by @sophof there is now a select entity to change your active schedule from within Home Assistant

These should be available for the Core version soon ™

Hi and thanks for developing the plugwise integration!

I have an (ancient) plugwise stick plugged into my Odroid N2+ that runs HA. When I install the integration I select stick and then it’s asking me for the USB Path. How do I figure out what my USB Path is? I’ve tried the default /dev/ttyUSB0 but that doesn’t work.

I’ve also tried ha hardware info in the terminal, but I don’t see USB devices listed there. Do I need to do anything to get it to recognise the USB stick?

bouwew · March 23, 2022, 8:57am

I suggest looking at and using the /dev/serial/by-id/... or /dev/serial/by-path... options, these will always stay the same after a reboot.

You need to check these paths from outside HA, in Linux itself.

Rando_username · March 23, 2022, 2:10pm

Thanks, I’ll have a look at that.

Mariusthvdb · March 24, 2022, 11:28am

hi dev’s,

should the select entity already be available in the dev nightly and core integration? Currently running 2022.4.0.dev20220324

I believe to have seen it being merged, but still I dont get that entity in my integration panels. Or is it still only in the custom component?

bouwew · March 24, 2022, 11:47am

Hi Marius,

It should be in dev, the PR has been merged 3 days ago.

Please note, it will only show when you have more than one Schedule defined, if there’s only one, there’s no selection possible.

Mariusthvdb · March 24, 2022, 12:26pm

ofc… that was it, I only had 1 schedule. fixed that:

nice, thanks!
guess Ive got to make a more definitive choice with naming to pick Dutch/Schema or English/Schedule…
