Removed old NHC2 integration (Filip) and installed new v3.1.1, followed the wizzard but no devices are showing? #77

Closed roelteeuwenNL closed 1 year ago

roelteeuwenNL commented 1 year ago

Dear all,

I just removed the old NHC2 integration form HACS and installed the new v3.1.1, I would love to see all new functions! But somehow no devices are showing up? I followed these steps:

  1. Removed the old integration and HACS component
  2. I installed the new v3.1.1 custom HACS component and then the integration. I followed the wizzard. The wizzard found my Niko controller IP. Then I use the "hobby" profile (hobby is also the username of the API token) and the password is the API token (I copy/pasted it form the API token screen)
  3. The pop-up shows "Gelukt! Configuratie gemaakt voor hobby (niko). Then I press finish. -> no entities
  4. Rebooted HAS -> no entities

Please help. Any ideas? Thanks!!

Can you enable debug-mode and see if there is a device list in the logs? See https://github.com/joleys/niko-home-control-II#found-a-bug Which version of Home Assistant are you using?

Hi Tijs, thanks for your fast reply!I’m going to check this, hopefully in the weekend of June the 10th and will post my findings 👍Best regards Roel Sent from my iPhoneOp 30 mei 2023 om 11:04 heeft Tijs Verkoyen @.***> het volgende geschreven: Can you enable debug-mode and see if there is a device list in the logs?

@tijsverkoyen I have the same issue. I'm working with a new setup. A VM on a Synology NAS. Using latest version of NHC on a connected controller. Loggin in with hobby + api key. But now devices are showing.

jonassmets commented 1 year ago

@tijsverkoyen solved the issue. Adding the controller manually by IP address instead of choosing the presented controller fixed it.

roelteeuwenNL commented 1 year ago

Hi @tijsverkoyen, where/how can I add the controller manually by IP address? Thanks 😁👍

itayp commented 1 year ago

@tijsverkoyen @jonassmets are you guys talking about: nhc2: host: 192.168.107.3 username: hobby password: !secret nhc2_password port: 8884

If so - I assume in the password line we put the API key we got from Niko?

tijsverkoyen commented 1 year ago

You should not use the yaml configuration, but only use the wizard.

itayp commented 1 year ago

Thanks @tijsverkoyen - but if I follow the wizard - nothing happens. I get an OK then the Hobby or Profile (whatever I chose) appears in the UI with no devices/entities. See attached (MAC address removed) Niko not working

jonassmets commented 1 year ago

@itayp Did you add the hub by manually adding the ip address?

roelteeuwenNL commented 1 year ago

Hi! I used the API key from NHC2 in the password field during the wizzard. Would that normally be correct?So I need to type in manually the IP address during the wizard or should I manually type in the IP address elsewhere?Best regards RoelSent from my iPhoneOp 28 jun. 2023 om 08:08 heeft itayp @.***> het volgende geschreven: @tijsverkoyen @jonassmets are you guys talking about: nhc2: host: 192.168.107.3 username: hobby password: !secret nhc2_password port: 8884 If so - I assume in the password line we put the API key we got from Niko?

@itayp Did you add the hub by manually adding the ip address?

No, I did it automatically. The Niko integration identifies the IP of my controller automatically. What I did notice while trying to take some images is, that although I added a new profile, it doesn't show in the wizard.

I must say "follow the wizard" isn't clear. I mean, if you choose to go down the API way - it's not really clear how to do it.

I wonder if I should remove and re-add the integration (or if there is a way to "clean" it's data.

Thanks,

tijsverkoyen commented 1 year ago

Can you try the following steps:

  1. Remove the integration
  2. Remove al related configuration from configuration.yaml
  3. Re-add the integration
  4. Fill in the IP address manually instead of selecting the proposed controller
itayp commented 1 year ago

Thanks @tijsverkoyen - it's now working as expected! Finally.

May I suggest on the wizard it will be clear for hobby "profile" you need to insert the API KEY as the password? It might be worth also showing a sample screen of expected behavior. Meaning after that step you should already get the "devices discovered" list with a prompt to put them in the different rooms/areas. Because before, I got a "success", and I assumed the devices will pop up in my devices list. Which clearly is not the expected behavior.

tijsverkoyen commented 1 year ago

@itayp Glad it works!

Feel free to make a pull request with improved docs, or screenshots.

The list of devices discovered will be shown only if the device list is returned at that moment, it can take some time for large installations, therefore it is not guaranteed that the list is shown when you add the integration.
