Official Honeywell evohome/Round Thermostat integration (EU-only)

@zxdavb sorry mybad for the incomplete explanation. So I’m using HA to set the temp, selecting ‘temporary over-ride’ to the new temp. HA reports that as Permanent. The evohome controller reports it as Permanent also.

The system is at Auto, Follow-schedule before change.

Hope that helps.

Hallo all. Install of component is great. Thank you for the contribution and development!

Can we set a temporary override until a specific time? Because I can create automation to adapt the operation_mode but I cannot specify a temperature or until.

Thanks for the help

Short answer: yes.

Long answer:

    def set_temperature(self, **kwargs):
        """Set a target temperature (setpoint) for a zone."""
        temperature = kwargs.get(ATTR_TEMPERATURE)

        if temperature is None:
            _LOGGER.error(
                "set_temperature(%s): Temperature must not be None (cancelling call).",
                self._id + " [" + self._name + "]"
            )
            return False

        until = kwargs.get(ATTR_UNTIL)
        if until is None:
            # until either the next scheduled setpoint, or just 1 hour from now
            if self._params[CONF_USE_SCHEDULES]:
                until = self._next_switchpoint_time
            else:
                until = datetime.now() + timedelta(hours=1)

        self._set_temperature(temperature, until)

If you call set_temperature via the web UI, you only pass temperature as a parameter. The until is either an hour, or the next scheduled setpoint, depending whether you have use_schedules: true in configuration.yaml

If you call set_temperature as a service call, you have the option of passing until as a parameter.

When you get it working, could you post back the service call? For example, an automation would be something like:

- alias: Set temp each morning
  trigger:
    platform: time
    at: "07:00:00"
  action:
    - service: climate.set_temperature
      data:
        entity_id: climate.kitchen
        temperature: 19.5
        until: 08:30:00

Sorry, but this part of the component is not extensively tested, and it may be that HA simply wont let you pass that parameter (although my code would accept it), in which case you will need two automations - one to set the temp to what you want, and a second to set it back after a period of time.

This is awesome to see - thank you. Are the sensed windows open exposed in the api?

No, only setpoint (which will be min_temperature) and mode (either Follow, or Temp - I can’t recall).

I tried to add some heuristics to ‘detect’ when the system is in OpenWindowMode, but it was very unsatisfactory.

No problem, it’s a nice to have anyway! :slight_smile:

Thank you for taking the time to answer me. I tried the until but it gives an error in Hassio. Until is not a known attribute.
I worked around it for the moment with automations for resetting every evening if a permenantoverride is active.
Not perfect but much better than working with ifttt. Thank you for developing this!

Working great with my system (12 zone and 1 hot water) this is exactly what i have been looking for.

Id like to second what @BVE said if its possible to directly integrate a set temperature ‘until’ time it would be perfect for me, unfortunately my skill set is very limited in this field to offer up any help.

I will have a look at this - it may need changes elsewhere in HA.

Very nice indeed!

Would you be able to share the yaml used to create the view seen in your screenshots please?

Seconded - id love to see how you’re pulling the evohome view in

it’s just a picture element
very very long code

I’m not a programmer
but I would love to see it as a card

info bar color is not yet resolved
5-15.5 ° C color: blue
16-18.5 ° C turquoise (or green)
19-21.5 ° C Yellow
22-24.5 ° C orange
25-35 ° C red

First of all: congrats on the integration of the controller to the release!!

Thanks for all the work.

Question: is it safe to upgrade? Or should we wait? I see the configuration yaml is the same as the custom component and no heating zones are supported. Thanks

It is safe to upgrade to 0.80. However, you should keep the custom component for now.

The HA component will miss out on features seen only in the custom component for the foreseeable future - this is due to restrictions placed upon it by HA.

When I get my Dev machine back I will start porting some of the functionality of the custom component across to the built-in version.

If I start to use this component just now what is the better choice?
To use your custom component or use the HA component (and wait for porting)?
Now the HA component doesn’t work at me. The log:
Invalid config for [evohome]: expected a dictionary for dictionary value @ data[‘evohome’]. Got [OrderedDict([(‘username’, ‘username’), (‘password’, ‘password’)])]. (See /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/configuration.yaml, line 234). Please check the docs at https://home-assistant.io/components/evohome/

The custom component will be the better option for a while, with the possible exception of Google/Amazon integration.

Then I’d say the custom component won’t work either - check your configuration.yaml content/format, it is notorious for it’s difficulties with beginners…

After updated to 0.81.2 the evohome custom component doesn’t work.

I am waiting to upgrade because I realy need this component.
Came to rely on and love this this :slight_smile:

The latest version now works with v0.81.2
