- Addition will succeed immediately, so give the entity some minutes to connect to the thermostat

The internal schedules of the Auto mode can be set via a service. Use Devices or Areas as target, not entities.
There is a button to fetch the schedules from the thermostats. These are shown as attributes of that button.
There is a service to set up Away mode (vacation) with an end date/time, and target temperature.
Use Devices or Areas as target, not entities.
To easily set all thermostats to away you can combine it with an input timedate helper and a script and add them to lovelace like this:
Most notably, you can select a specific bluetooth adapter, or limit to local ones.
- It works in HA version > 2022.7
- Support for BTProxy thanks to @ignisf (make sure you configure
active: true
in the BTProxy). - Supports auto discovery
- Supports adding via config flow (UI)
- Fixes setting operation mode
- Allows to turn off by setting temp to 4.5°
- Retries (10 times) when you change a thermostat attribute.
[x] Push instead of Pull. It updates on bluetooth advertisement instead of polling every x minutes (seems to generate less unsuccessful tries)- Connections are persistent (this may or may not reduce the battery life, but it makes the thermostats more responsive)
- Fully uses asyncio (less resource intensive)
-
Current Temperature
updates immediately, regardless of when the bluetooth connection is made. The component will apply the change as soon as it can connect with the device. - Service to fetch heating schedules and serial inside the thermostat
- Only one concurrent request per thermostat
- Service to set the heating schedules
[ ] Support for installing via yaml[ ] Support pairing while adding entity- All features of the thermostat are exposed as entities
- Bluetooth adapter, scan interval, etc are configurable.
This is heavily based on https://github.com/rytilahti/python-eq3bt and https://github.com/home-assistant/core/tree/dev/homeassistant/components/eq3btsmart and it should ideally be two PRs instead. Unfortunately, the changes go too deep and remove support for the CLI and other backends. Therefore, here's a self contained custom component instead.
We recommend using VS Code as IDE.
- Fork and clone the repository
- Install the poetry dependency management tool and add it to your
PATH
- Run
poetry config virtualenvs.in-project true
to havepoetry
create the virtual environment inside the project directoryThis is recommended for compatibility with VS Code
- Run
poetry install --no-root --with dev
to install dependencies and setup the virtual environment - Install the recommended extensions in VS Code
- Select the Python interpreter to be
.venv/bin/python.exe
(Linux) or.venv/Scripts/python.exe
(Windows) in VS Code
Your environment should now be setup to contain all dev and non-dev dependencies and VS Code will automatically highlight and fix issues detected by ruff
and mypy
.
