Thanks for feedback.

What about implementing the dimspeed for dimmer channels in VMB4DC ? E.g. in automations set the dim value but also the dim speed.

@DDG, you should be able to use the “native” transition option of HA for this, like configured in screenshot below:-

Thanks for that. Did not know you could do it this way too.

This morning the weather was cold and the VMBPIRO was indicating -1°c in Velbuslink and 127,31°c in HA !PIRO temperature

this is a bug in the velbusaio lib, the first bit is not used as the signbit

Hi Cereal2nd,

I just installed HomeAssistant 12.0; I’ve never had any issues but now I have two:

  1. My blinds are always showing they are open, while they are closed. I can see in the history they first get the state closed, but once they are fully closed, they get a new state that says they are open again
  2. My dimmable lights through Velbus (VMBDMI) are just showing as lights and not dimmable lights, since this new version.

Any ideas on this?

Thanks for your awesome work on this integration!

Hi all, new here on the forum and never ever had issues with Velbus in my HA over the past years. Looks that since the latest update, I have 2 issues with my setup, please help on what could be a next step to try to solve this.

In HA, all is up to date.

  1. The climate entity doesn’t show the current temp any longer.

  2. I no longer can dim my lights:

Thanks,

For these problems.
I always need to know the exact moduletypes and firmware version.
Without this it’s impossible to

215

Hi,

I’ll come back with more details
Before I do, one thing I’m thinking; I never updated/upgraded my velbus modules to newer/latest firmware.
I’ll try that first.

Thx for the input
Thijs

Hello,

The problem with the thermostat is on all glass panels of different types sinds last update, also all modules are dubbeled, one with the sensors and one without Anny sensors.

217

same problem with dimmers here after update of HA a few weeks ago

218

someone is already running a pull-request to fix this

so once that one is merged, in the new version the dimmer problems should be solved.
Small note, i do not own dimmers, so i can’t test them …

and this is the PR for the current temp

220

Both are merged so 2021.12.4 should have it solved.

For the blinds problem, is this a new problem? or did it also exist in previous releases?

221

I can confirm, both fixed in 2021.12.4.

Thanks

222

Thanks,

Works great again.

But there are still double modules without entity’s, but that is not a problem for the functionality…

223

for the double modules i’m writing code to remove these.

it would be really helpfull if some people use the beta or rc channel in hass, this way we can catch problems like this before the actual release

224

Same here. How can we fix this in the velbusaio lib? or what could be an easy workaround in HA?

225

This has to be fixed in hass via code
i’m trying to understand why this happend, i’m starting to think this happend during the migration from a string based ID to a deviceID object.

what i will probably do is add code to remove devices that do not have entities inside the velbus component.

226

This is a new problem; I’ve never had this issue before and only have it since upgrading to version 2021.12.0.

I’m upgrading to 2021.12.4 now, so will check if I still have it. If so, I’ll provide info on the modules and firmware. I think I also still have Velbus firmware updates, so I’ll also update those if possible first to test.
