STORAGE State Attributes

[palmtreefrb]

First, I want to say what you have done to implement this mqtt solution is fantastic. Thanks... Can you explain what the state storage attributes are to be used for?

Thanks, Rick

Thanks. What state storage attributes? Can you link me to those?

Sorry, used in your Climate component... pysmartnode/components/devices/climate/definitions.py

STORAGE_AWAY_TEMPERATURE_LOW = "_a_temp_l"
STORAGE_AWAY_TEMPERATURE_HIGH = "_a_temp_h"
STORAGE_TEMPERATURE_LOW = "_temp_l"
STORAGE_TEMPERATURE_HIGH = "_temp_h"

pysmartnode/components/devices/climate/__init__.py

self.state = {TEMPERATURE_TARGET_HIGH: temp_high,  # current temperature high
              TEMPERATURE_TARGET_LOW: temp_low,  # current temperature low
              AWAY_MODE_STATE: AWAY_OFF,  # away mode "ON"/"OFF"
              STORAGE_AWAY_TEMPERATURE_HIGH: away_temp_high,  # away temperature low
              STORAGE_AWAY_TEMPERATURE_LOW: away_temp_low,  # away temperature high
              STORAGE_TEMPERATURE_HIGH: temp_high,  # temperature high, storage value
              STORAGE_TEMPERATURE_LOW: temp_low,  # temperature low, storage value
              CURRENT_MODE: str(self._modes["off"]),
              CURRENT_ACTION: ACTION_OFF}

Ah these attributes. They are used to store the state of the climate component. They are implemented this way to make it easier to restore them from a single retained mqtt message after the device gets restarted.
