A significant number of changes are coming to the Advantage Air integration, including a number platform, update platform, lights platform, and support for MyTemp and MyAuto in Climate.
I dont have a MyPlace system, or even a MyAir system to test most of these features (I have e-zone), so I need your help to make sure these new features work as expected. This is our chance to test and fix before things get merged into core. We do have to be quick though, I already have the PRs raised.
So, if you have HACS, add this custom repository, and install “Advantage Air Test”. It should as a completely seperate integration to the main Advantage Air integration.
@Brett_Adams - is it possible to have test and the main release both running as integrations? ive downloaded test version via hacs, restarted but cant setup via UI in integrations page.
@UrZdcw9 Yes, the HACS version is called “Advantage Air Test”, so you should be able to run them both. I am running them both, so if your having issues doing that sent me any logs or errors.
If the test integration works with everything you have exactly as expected, no. I do still need to add fab support, so I guess let me know if you have fans in MyPlace and I’ll add that for you.
I just installed the test version on my HA instance as well. I am only using aircon from Advantage Air (i.e. I am not using lights or garage door openers).
In our situation we do have two separate aircon systems connected to a single controller, and it appears that it uses a combined zone list for both systems. As a side effect, one of the systems shows the wrong MyZone. I am guessing it uses the index from the system specific list and looks it up in the combined list.
I am not sure what kind of information would help to debug this. Happy to help in any way I can.
I can provide a json dump of a pymyair update() output that shows both systems. Not sure what a good way to get it to you would be.
If you can send me the diagnostics from the integration, or your direct JSON, I’ll figure out why this is. The two different ACs should have two different unique IDs so they shouldn’t overlap each other.
Hey Brett,
this is amazing finally have more control over my my place system.
is there a way we can set brightness levels without switching the state of the lights?
for instance my hallway motion detector gets setoff in the middle of the night checking on our son i would like to have the lights pre dim prior to them coming on.
not a functional issue, but a usability improvement would be coloring the fan symbol when fan only mode is active. At present it is only a ever so slightly lighter shade of grey when active:
A friend of mine has a new Advantage Air without HA and is having a heck of a time getting things controlled as he wants. An engineer came around recently and said something like you can only control the temperature of one room the “main zone” at one time? That seems pretty crazy. There was some kind of system to move the “main zone” around but he doesn’t really understand it.
Could this integration help give him more control? Can it tell you the temp of each room sensor, and based on that can he adjust the dampers directly? Or is there a better way?
I use an Airtouch4 and I have plenty of automations that changes damper positions based on temperature thresholds I set, as well as using the standard mode which lets the Airtouch control things which mostly works fine.
