Problem in Configuring

[03397]

Can you please help in configuring the owl for Home Assistant? Do I need to enable the Setup Data Push through the dashboard to send the data?

sensor:

• platform: yr name: Weather forecast: 24 monitored_conditions:
  • temperature
  • symbol
  • precipitation
  • humidity
• platform: owlintuition port: 4321

Yes you will need to login to your owlintuition dashboard, select Settings from the top menu, then then 'Setup Push Data' in the Advanced Settings section. The IP address should be the machine you have Home Assistant running on and port number should match the above. Worth making a note of the UDP key too, more functionality can be accessed with that, although that is not currently supported right now by the sensor, but I'm looking into it...

Ok I have manage to do that. But I am getting values only for the electricity. How can I set it to get values for the remaining sensors. Is there a way to start the hot water through the Home Assistant?

[jchasey]

Realised the docs need updating...try setup like this:

  - platform: owlintuition
    port: 3200
    host: 10.11.10.5          # IP to return results to
    monitored_conditions:
      - electricity
      - heating
      - hot_water
      - relays

Thanks jchasey this did the trick. Can you select which sensors you want to see from each category or not? Can you start the hotwater or the heat from Home Assistant?

[jchasey]

No you will get all available sensors from each category specified. At the moment you can't yet trigger the hotwater/heat from Home Assistant. I'd like to add that functionality - although it will need to be via a switch so will likely be an additional component that will ultimately become a climate component.

Thanks for the support @jchasey, I'll merge the PR for the docs and I'll try and improve them further.

@jchasey This will be the ultimate if we can trigger this on demand. I can help you with the testing/debugging if you want. I cannot write any python code but I am into the computer industry for a lot of years I have the owl gateway with address 44371900 which is the old one.

That sounds like a great evolution of this component. I only have myself the electricity probe, therefore I can't help much in developing or testing this, but I gave @jchasey commit rights to this repo for following this up.

I have two thermostat, hot water and electricity so we can test pretty much everything.
