Netatmo: if more than one energy device is in the same room, only one of them is discovered

[alem8]

The problem

I've noticed that with Netatmo Integration, if there is more than one energy device in one of the Netatmo rooms, only one of them is discovered. For example, in my installation I have a thermostat and a smart valve in the same Netatmo room, and the thermostat is not discovered by HA. As soon as, on Netatmo side, I move the thermostat to another room, it appears and is usable till it is moved back together with the smart valve in the same room.

I guess the issue is related to the EntityID which for HA should be unique and it is taken from Netatmo room name. Like that, it isn't a unique ID on Netatmo side but it is expected to be on HA.

This is not an issue but rather by design. Netatmo does that.

Hi @cgtobi,

thanks for you feedback. But I don't get it, sorry... :) Netatmo allows multiple devices in the same room, indeed in the API documentation, for each room we have an array of module IDs:

In my room called "Ufficio" I have to modules, with obviously 2 IDs:

The integration uses the room name as EntityID for the module, so only one module of each room can exist at the same time in HA:

Am I wrong or is there something I don't get?

[cgtobi]

Yes, the API allows that but you can only control on room level.

[alem8]

Ok, clear: it is like in HA I have the room and not the single devices. So, like that I lose the diagnostic info of the second device, one is there, the other isn't. Right? And, another strange thing, is that HA always notify the discovery of a new device in Netatmo... probably it is the second device that it seen but not added
