I’m interested in this component to attach WiFi thermostat to Home Assistant w/o internet connection to any cloud. No PID support is required for me.
What is the status? Is it operational on 0.98.x version of Home Assistant? Fotr the moment I look at BHT-002-GCL thermostat. As I understand this is another broadlink clone.
Can I use thermostat in two mode simultaneously (with HA control and with thermostat programs)?
Great news. Please can You share Your configuration, thermostat model and vendor? What’s Your impression after using it for a while? Does it work offline (w/o internet)?
I’m choosing between Z-Wave thermostats (very expansive) and WiFi (most of them works over internet).
Yes to both.
I’ve blocked all internet access fro. my firewall for this device. Tho I do believe you need internet when you first setup the device, and I seem to remember reading that the app sent the WiFi password in plain text to the thermostat (tho I can’t find where I read that)
PID is not working well and I’m planning on removing this feature as it is not proven itself and it is too complex. If you need PID feature it could be achieved by external tools or automation (such as NodeRED). I’m planning update component when heating season comes, somewhere around begining of October
Hi there!! I’m totally new with home assistant. Actually i am not able to communicate with my beko thermostat. I have tried all the configurations posted here and nothing works… could anyone post his configuration? Folders, files inside and configurationfile please?
Thanks a lot!!
Hi algirdasc. I’m using your component now with my Floureon thermostat. It is working but i think there is a bug:
My setting inside Floureon is 19°C target temp and 16°C min temp (away temperature).
Timer setting for only to work from 18:00PM to 22:00PM 7 days/week.
Problem is that if i click on AUTO toggle on thermostat HA panel, temperature is always set to 19°C even if the time is out of work period. This is a wrong behavior because if i activate AUTO mode outside of the working time, set temperature must remain to 16°C (away temp).
To have back thermostat temp in right setting i have to open standard thermostat APP and click AUTO there.

The right name of the file is __init__.py
You see the “dot” in it? @cooljimy84
It is obligatory to have a file __init__.py in custom components. Don’t remember from which version of HA exactly.
