Just wanted to jump in here and share a project I’ve been working on over the last few weeks. My first integration, well, two integrations.
This came about because I wanted to use the venstar API on my t8850 thermostat to send a whole-house average temperature to use as the control source. The API doesn’t allow that, but it DOES allow using a remote temperature sensor (venstar brand) for that purpose. SO… I picked up one of those sensors and figured out how to emulate their communication, then put that into an integration.
After that was working I decided to make another integration to pair with and receive data from the venstar sensors like the ACC-TSENWIFI.
It’s all together and fairly well tested, currently monitoring outdoor temp at my home from a venstar sensor. Also, gathering data from a few zigbee sensors then sending that to the thermostat as the control source. I’ve got some other control in there for tighter temp regulation, and it has allowed me to maintain the house at +/- 1 degF. Temps used to swing wildly more, and of course the thermostat was always 3-6degF different from the actual home temperature.
Anyway, here’s the links. HACS ready, I’ve got a PR for each to add them to the default store.
