Don’t know what you did but you only need to replace the file __init__.py in config/custom_components/sinope by the one you will find in the link I provided.

So you just need to open the __init__.py file in the link and select/copy all lines then open your config/custom_components/sinope/__ini__.py in your HA file editor, select all the lines and paste what you copy before then save and restart HA.

But first you need to check in configuration.yaml to find out if you have a bad character in your ID or api_key because the error you got previously ValueError: non-hexadecimal number mean that in those id and/or api_key you have an invalid character. Those two parameter should contain only numbers from 0 to 9 and / or letters from a to f. For example if you put a letter O instead of a number 0 you will get that type of error.

The file I’ve provided is to extract the data just where you get the error ValueError: non-hexadecimal number to find out where is the error in the parameters.

If you want you can go to GitHub - claudegel/sinope-gt125 at debug-data
there is a green button at the top labelled <> Code. Click and download the zip file. Open it and move the __init__.py file to replace the one you have in config/custom/components/sinope

43

Ok I had not done it that way. Here is the log data I get now. By the way I do not see anything wrong with the ID or API keys.

Ok That’s really an error in your ID or api_key
please change the line 623 in __init__.py
from
_LOGGER.debug(“login data = %s, crc= %s”, login_data, crc_count(bytes.fromhex(login_data)))
to
_LOGGER.debug(“login data = %s”, login_data)

and restart HA. We will find what is the offending character number.

Did you check your configuration.yaml ?

Looks like a quotation mark is the culprit.

SyntaxError: invalid character ‘“’ (U+201C)

2023-03-21 19:42:53.756 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.setup] Setup failed for custom integration sinope: Unable to import component: Exception importing custom_components.sinope

46

I just check back what you sent about your configuration.yaml

I think you didn’t put the data between " "

should be

sinope:
  server: "192.168.20.163"
  id: "001EC0aaaaa1E672"
  api_key: "50119aaaaaabd181"
  my_city: "Montreal"
  scan_interval: 180

You see all parameters except scan interval are between braquet " ". If you don’t put them like this it is possible that there is a trailing space character that is included with the parameter and cause the error

47

Should be
_LOGGER.debug("login data = %s", login_data)

But if you change your configuration.yaml to have quotation mark it should solve the problem. So change the line with the correct quotation mark and add quotation mark in your configuration.yaml and remove any trailing space.

48

Ok makes sense so this is what it looks like now;

sinope:

server: “192.168.xx.xx”

id: “D880xxxxxxxD148”

api_key: “d62xxxxxxxxx16ee”

dk_key: ‘’

my_city: “montreal” #needed to get sunrise and sunset hours for your location

scan_interval: 120 #you can go down to 60 if you want depending on how many devices you have to update. default set to 180

And I tried to restart HA but was not able to because of this error;

When you post some code you need to select it then click on </> button above to show the formatting.
In your configuration you don’t need the line dk_key… it is not needed anymore.
You can also omit the part starting with # as it is only comment.

So it should look like this for the formatting:

sinope:
  server: "192.168.20.163"
  id: "001EC0aaaaa1E672"
  api_key: "50119aaaaaabd181"
  my_city: "Montreal"
  scan_interval: 180

That’s all you need. Indentation is important in the parameters

51 
sinope:
  server: "192.168.**.**"
  id: "D880*********D148"
  api_key: "d62********16ee"
  my_city: "montreal"
  scan_interval: 120

Sorry about that. Learning something new everyday.

Ok look in your log that you sent me
login data = 55001200100148D19F242B3980D8d62bfe4e36c9916ee

This data is subdivided like this
550012001001 48D19F242B3980D8 d62bfe4e36c9916ee

The first part is the command we need to send. This come from the code
The second part is your ID but written reversely. It is 16 characters long which is ok
The third part is your api_key and it is 17 character long.

there is an error in your api_key it should be 16 characters only. Compare it with what you have in sinope_devices.json

Thanks Claude your the best!

There are no more errors in the log file.

Should I now replace the original init.py file?

54

Yes you can replace the original init.py

I’ll add a test on the parameters to catch that error. Thank you for your help

Any reason why the sinope entity would not be recognized by the Sensor template?

Thanks.

56

Climate.sinope_basement_thermostat is not a temperature. For that device the sate is heat, auto or off.
If you want the room temperature you need the property current_temperature. For this you need to create a template sensor. In HA the template sensor need to have some specific property like unit_of_measurement, device_class, state_class. For your sinope devices you can have many different data and it is better to create specific template sensor for what you want. ex:

- name: "heat_level_bureau"
        unit_of_measurement: '%'
        state_class: measurement
        state: "{{ state_attr('climate.sinope_climate_bureau', 'heat_level') }}"

- name: "bureau_current_temperature"
        unit_of_measurement: '°C'
        device_class: temperature
        state_class: measurement
        state: {{ state_attr('climate.sinope_climate_bureau', 'current_temperature') }}

Thanks Claude

What does the 34 represent in the first example?

58

Heat level is the percentage of heating that your thermostat is sending to the heating device. On your thermostat you can see 5 barr indication for the intensity of heating.
You can use it to do something like thisheating

59

So I included the following in ui-lovelace.yaml

views:
  - title: Neviweb125
    path: neviweb125
    icon: mdi:signal-variant
    theme: dark-mode
    cards:
      - type: custom:vertical-stack-in-card
        title: Thermostats
        cards:
          - type: entities
            show_icon: True
            entities:
              - entity: climate.sinope_basement_thermostat
              - entity: climate.sinope_garage_thermostat
              - entity: climate.sinope_living_room_thermostat
              - entity: climate.sinope_kitchen_thermostat
              - entity: climate.sinope_entrance_thermostat
              - entity: climate.sinope_staircase_thermostat

I then included the following in sensors.yaml (note that this is showing only 1 of 5)

#### Sinope Thermostats ####
- platform: template
  sensors:
    basement_temperature:
      friendly_name: Basement Temperature
      #      unit_of_measurement: "°C"
      #      device_class: temperature
      #      state_class: measurement
      value_template: >-
        state: {{ state_attr('climate.sinope_basement_thermostat', 'current_temperature') }}
      icon_template: mdi:thermometer
    heat_level_basement:
      value_template: >-
        state: "{{ state_attr('climate.sinope_basement_thermostat', 'heat_level') }}"

And this is what I see in the Overview section of Home Assistant;
image

Note that I can not make any modifications to the Overview page. I can’t even edit the Yaml. That is the only card on the Overview page.

I also added the following to customize.yaml; (only showing 1 out of 5)

#### Sinope icons ####
climate.sinope_climate_basement_thermostat:
  templates:
    entity_picture: >
      if (attributes.heat_level < 1) return '/local/heat-0.png';
      if (attributes.heat_level < 21) return '/local/heat-1.png';
      if (attributes.heat_level < 41) return '/local/heat-2.png';
      if (attributes.heat_level < 61) return '/local/heat-3.png';
      if (attributes.heat_level < 81) return '/local/heat-4.png';
      return '/local/heat-5.png';

Lastly I downloaded custom-ui in /config/community which I believe has the heat icons but it doesn’t seem to work.

Sorry for the long post.

60

The icons are on my git

custom-ui allow you to change the icons but you have to supply the icon you want and add them in
config/www

61

This is what I currently have in www. Do I need to create another folder and copy the icons from your git?
