@MrBungle check out the Thermal Comfort integration in #hacs

Also found this awesome #average sensor

Is anyone else having trouble updating the Octopus Energy HACS integration? All other updates working as usual but this one just spins forever... Nothing helpful in the logs.

Daily #homeassistant tip: If you don't find your integration, try the unofficial #HACS
(Home Assistant Community Store) https://hacs.xyz/.
I was a little bit afraid to install it because it says "AT YOUR OWN RISK", but really, it's ok.

Almost everything I tried, works (almost better than some official integrations). Example: Midea dehumidifier.

HACS works on HA standalone OS or virtualized one.
HACS + HA running in Docker = is not so easy.

What better thing to do with a new year's hangover on a hot #melbourne day than a small #homeautomation project? Installed #tvbro and #launchonboot on the #nvidia #shield, added the #wallpanel #homeassistant #hacs extension and tweaked some styles. Now we have some essentials whenever we turn the tv on 👌

Also, I finally managed to integrate the dehumidifier (#Midea) to #homeassistant via #HACS.
Again, cloud integration works, local not (yet). The integration provides local access to the dehumidifier, but I don't know how to make it work.

Finally gathered some courage and installed #HACS (Home Assistant Community Store). For those not familiar, it's a way to install unofficial HA integrations.
Tried the 1st one (#Landroid #Worx mower) - success, it works out of the box.
It's a cloud (not local) integration, but way better than nothing :)

@viq Vanilla, non rooted firmware. HA itself has officially only basic support for Miio. Not very impressive but working. However, the community did a very good job preparing HA components for handling vacuum cleaners. There are two items available in #HACS:
* Xiaomi Cloud Map Extractor (integration)
* Xiaomi Vacuum Map Card (frontend)

Contrary to the name they provide support for more models.

Tried to install new integration (Afvalwijzer) for #HomeAssistant from #HACS. It seems to be installed, but I have no idea how to make it working.

@nameLess I must admit I am everything but expert about #OpenTherm. I've just started digging into it recently and I have only basic understanding. I have some impression, which I am going to share below, but please remember that I might be wrong. Please consider that as a good starting point for further research. If you find anything valuable I'd be glad to know. Especially if I am wrong.

So, we have following entities: gas boiler, thermostats (sensors+valves' actuators), central unit (ST-2801 or #TermetComfort), and #HomeAssistant. The central unit knows from programming what is the expected temperature in given room at the time, and from sensor what is current temperature there. According to the data it opens valve and turns on the boiler. The communication with the boiler goes either using on/off method (as you have called it: short circuit) or with OpenTherm protocol. The 2nd way allows to use the boiler more efficiently. You do not need to heat the water to 70°C if you just need to raise the temperature in one room by 0.5°C. Also, the central unit can read back some parameters from the boiler (required water temperature, water temperature on output, temperature of returning water, is DHW - domestic hot water - being provided at the moment and a few more, depending on the boiler).

The central unit - depending on the producer - may or may not allow to connect a temperature sensor by wire using OpenTherm protocol. However it is unknown to me, which device is superior. OT operates in a way, that one device initiates a communication and either ask the other device to perform something or polls for current state. In case of controller/central unit and gas boiler, the first one is controlling the communication with the other one. I have no idea how it works with OT-enabled sensor and central unit. So, there is a chance that you will be able to talk from HA to the central unit using OT integration, but I do not have enough knowledge to tell if that's possible.

As for HA integrations. Apart from officially supported ones, there is a service called #HACS (Home Assistant Community Store). It provides many add-ons, extensions and integrations. However, it seems the only way to find what is already supported there is to install HACS first, then browse it from HA level. So, there is a chance someone has written the Tech or #Termet integration and made it availabe through HACS.

Does your #homeassistant also always show the wrong dashboard whenever you log into a new device? This little addon looks like a fix https://github.com/daredoes/default-dashboard
