Netatmo climate rooms have a battery_level attribute

[jansauer]

The problem

The Netatmo climate API has the concept of rooms. Thermostats and Valves are associated to Rooms to allow room-by-room heating control. As part of this multiple devices can be set in a same room. Currently home-assistant creates one climate domain entity per room, including a battery_level attribute. It is unclear which device this attribute refers to.

What i would expect is a climate entity per room without a battery_level and additionally a (sensor) entity per Netatmo device containing battery_level and maybe other device specific informations.

My personal setup consists of a Netatmo Smart Thermostat and Smart valves in my living room. This results in the following entity in home assistant:

Via the API i get the following home status informations for these modules:

{
  "anticipating": false,
  "battery_level": 4061,
  "boiler_status": true,
  "boiler_valve_comfort_boost": false,
  "firmware_revision": 75,
  "id": "xxxxxx",
  "reachable": true,
  "rf_strength": 60,
  "type": "NATherm1",
  "bridge": "xxxxxx",
  "battery_state": "high"
},
{
  "battery_level": 2760,
  "firmware_revision": 85,
  "id": "xxxxxx",
  "reachable": true,
  "rf_strength": 76,
  "type": "NRV",
  "bridge": "xxxxxx",
  "battery_state": "low"
}

The netatmo app and webapp are warning me that the valves battery is low while home assistant only lists the living rooms battery level with 98% 😕

Thanks for letting us know. HA does not actually care about the individual valves but the rooms they are associated with since that is the level on what HA can control Netatmo valves/rooms. I understand that it is inconvenient with HA only reporting one of many valves per room and I'll take this into consideration about a future refactoring but this is nothing that can or will be fixed quickly.
