BacklightAdaptative not working

[piluc88]

Hello Claude i don't know where to write this but i want to put the backlight off on two sinope thermostat only when i try the action in developper i have no error but when i go see the the thermostat backlight is still on. Can you help me.

Thanks

Yes, what is the thermostat model you want to switch the backlight off. It differ between zigbee and wifi

[piluc88]

TH1124ZB zigbee all my thermostat are the same model

[claudegel]

ok but they are not G2 model ? because G2 and wifi have another config called bedroom. With this, the backlight is on during the day and off at night.

action: neviweb130.set_backlight
data:
  entity_id: climate.neviweb130_climate_office
  type: zigbee
  backlightAdaptive: auto 

you have value 'on', always on and 'auto', turn on when you touch the thermostat button

[claudegel]

maybe you need quote

action: neviweb130.set_backlight
data:
  entity_id: climate.neviweb130_climate_office
  type: "zigbee"
  backlightAdaptive: "auto" 

Don't remenber

I ned to update the doc as now services all called action. Will do it this weekend

[piluc88]

ok thanks but i try with quote and no quote nothing happen when i click to perform the action i have a green check. Do you have another place i can configure the backlight. How do i know if they are not G2 or G2?

[piluc88]

or maybe it is because before i was using the gt-130 and now i'm directly connected to my Home assistant so i need to use your other repo sinope-zha?

[claudegel]

Ok I've tested this and it give me an error: mapping values are not allowed here

##########################
##  test backlight
##########################
  - id: gestion_backlight
    alias: gestion backlight
    initial_state: True
    trigger:
      platform: time
      at: "12:05:00"
    condition: []
    action: climate.neviweb130.set_backlight
      data:
        entity_id: "climate.neviweb130_climate_cave"
        type: "zigbee"
        backlightAdaptive: "auto"
    mode: single

Let me check a little bit mor to clear that error

[claudegel]

If you are not using the GT130 then you have a zigbee gateway and are using ZHA or Zigbee2Mqtt. This is different. Tell me more, zha or z2m. For the G2 the model name will end with -G2

[piluc88]

I’m using ZHA

thanks

[claudegel]

OK in ZHA there are two way to do this.

• if you want the change to be permanent just wright the data in the attribute/cluster directly in your device.
• This is cluster 0x0201, attribute 0x0402, data: OnDemand: 0, Always on: 1

[claudegel]

• if you want to switch between on and off then you need to do an automation like this: Let say you want to swith backlight to off at 20:00 PM

• id: set_backlight_off alias: set_backlight_off trigger:
  • platform: time at: "20:00:00" variables: thermostats:
    • 50:0b:91:40:00:02:26:6d <- This is the IEEE of your device. One per line if you have many
    • 38:5c:fb:ff:fe:d9:ea:f4 action:
  • repeat: count: "{{thermostats|length}}" sequence:
    • service: zha.set_zigbee_cluster_attribute data: ieee: "{{ thermostats[repeat.index-1] }}" endpoint_id: 1 cluster_id: 0x0201 cluster_type: in attribute: 0x0402 value: 0 mode: single

      
      You can do another one to turn on the backlight in the morning

[piluc88]

thanks for your help but wiith that code i got this error Message malformed: Unable to determine action @ data['action'][0]['repeat']['sequence'][1]

and i try to change permenatly but i don't know where to write the OnDemand thing

[claudegel]

To permanently on just put a 0 in place of Backlight.Always_on and clic write attribute Then if you read back the attribute you will see Backlight.On_demand

[piluc88]

Oh thanks you so much IT’s working now. Thanks for your time
