Hive TRV battery status #7

Closed yakox closed 3 years ago

yakox commented 4 years ago

Hi - I have added some Hive TRVs to my existing Hive system and they showed up in Home Assistant (0.101.3) without any problems.

There is a battery status indication for the TRVs in the Hive mobile app but I can't find this info in Home Assistant. Assuming the battery information is available from Hive, would it be possible to expose it in Home Assistant? It would be great to be able to set up a HA notification for low TRV battery levels.

install the custom components - they include a battery indicator. sensor.\<device name>_thermostat_battery_level

Apologies, I should have mentioned that I already have the custom components installed and up to date using HACS. The only battery sensor I see is for the main thermostat unit.

Is there a resolution to this? I also don't see the battery levels for the TRVs. Thanks.

Currently this feature is not being looked into as TRV,s was implemented by someone else and not the maintainers of this repo. We are currently looking for someone to extract their hive data for us so we can maintain TRV’s.

I'm happy to help with some anonymised data if you let me know what you need and how to obtain it?

KJonline commented 4 years ago

Hi @xenocryst1 Sorry for a late reply. Do you have a Home Assistant community account I can message you on privately the instruction on how to do it?

xenocryst1 commented 4 years ago

Hi @KJonline, I'm on the Home Assistant community as xenocryst.

KJonline commented 4 years ago

Hi @xenocryst1, I have sent you a private message on home assistant forum explaining how to get the hive data

sym0nd0 commented 4 years ago

I'm also happy to provide data, if needed. Same username.

KJonline commented 4 years ago

@sym0nd0 thanks do the offer, I got some data to look at and use. A question I have though is does the TRV have the ability to boost it?

sym0nd0 commented 4 years ago

No worries. Yeah, you can manually boost an individual TRV, for a minimum of 30 minutes and definable up to 32°C. Not sure if it needs to be factored in, but there's also Heat on Demand (HoD) and if its enabled it will boost the local 'stat to a defined temperature and keep boosting it until the TRV is up to the target temp.
