Sensor for Bean/Coffee Size

[Joshi425]

Hello,

nice work with this component, works like a Charm 👌 I was wondering if there is an easy way to access the currently selected Bean/Coffee Size. At the moment I only see the Text Status Sensor.

When the mosfet resets the display Unit on my Maschine sometimes the settings for Bean/Coffee Size reset to 2/2. For A fully automated Coffee it would be great to have those as a sensor to make the Coffee like I want. It looks like its also already decoded

so should be trivial to implemet right?

thanks for your great Work.

@Joshi425 can check out/give feedback on the new feature by adding the following to your configuration:

external_components:
  - source: github://TillFleisch/ESPHome-Philips-Smart-Coffee@bean_and_water_sensor

number:
  - platform: philips_bean_settings
    name: "Coffee beans"
    controller_id: philip
    status_sensor_id: status
    source: COFFEE

  - platform: philips_size_settings
    name: "Coffee size"
    controller_id: philip
    status_sensor_id: status
    source: COFFEE

works like a charm, thank you 🙇 one small thing, I have a Latte go Module, so instead of the Steam button I have a Cappuccino Button. on the Cappuccino Settings I can't set the numbers via home assisant, it only works for Coffee atm. For me that is fine, just for Feature Completeness it would be cool.

Edit: It only works for Cofee, not for Hot Water, Cappuccino or Espresso

Well that makes adding this as an option very easy. I've updated the PR.

You can now add use_cappuccino = true to the status sensor and it will report "Cappuccino selected" instead of "Steam selected". The water and size settings now also have a CAPPUCCINO option.

I've noticed that the automatic selection sometimes overshoots the selected value. I have reduced the speed at which the buttons are pressed, this should fix at least this issue.

Does the status sensor on your machine report the correct status? (like Hot water selected) If you change the the selected size/bean count manually for Hot Water, Cappuccino or Espresso, is the correct value reported?

[Joshi425]

thanks, now it shows Cappuccino selected 👍

more delay feels better, I've noticed those overshoots as well but since it still worked it wasn't that bad.

now if something else then Coffee is selected it shows the bean/coffee size numbers as unknown and its not possible to set them. it works for coffee tho

[TillFleisch]

Did you set the desired source for the size/bean settings?

Quote from readme:

• source(Required, int): The source of this sensor. Select one of COFFEE, COFFEE, CAPPUCCINO, HOT_WATER. When selecting CAPPUCCINO the related status sensor must use use_cappuccino = true.

The coffee number selection sensor from the example configuration above will only work when coffee is actively selected. Can you verify that the settings work for cappuccino by adding a size/bean number using the CAPPUCCINO source?

[Joshi425]

aye, yeah didn't notice that, I've added size and bean size for every type, it works perfectly also for CAPPUCCINO 👍 the other numbers switch to unknown when something else is selected. But I think thats fine.

in the Readme there is currently a small ISSUE, it says COFFEE twice instead of ESPRESSO on the 2 size sensors.

This is expected behavior.

Thank you for pointing this out.

@Joshi425, I was looking into different versions of the coffee machine. Based on the information provided in this issue I guess you're using the EP2235. Can you confirm this?

[Joshi425]

Yes this is the one
