Room temp sensor not updating #12

Open smedest opened 1 year ago

smedest commented 1 year ago

Hi,

It seems that on my device the current room temp. is not updating. After using the lg thinq app, the temp. is updated once. How can it be forced to update it in the api? Same for the filter indicators

Hi @smedest I don't know yet, all of it is result of reverse-engineering, trials and... luck. The API itself is not opened nor documented nowhere. All we have is to explore and experiment.

The plugin gets a set of data from LG API called "snapshot". Then the data is parsed and "translated" to domoticz's devices. To be not so easy some values are not comming out always. So sometimes it looks like current temperature is missing. For filters I couldn't find any direct field, I think the original LG app calculates it somehow.

I also want to have it in my domoticz, so I'm not giving up.

I have the same issue. When using the plug-in, I get non changing values. The values also contain a timestamp, which does not change too.

When I open my LG ThinQ app, then the values are changing. So, it seems that, if the LG ThinQ app is listening, the AC is sending new data. When the LG ThinQ app stops, values are only updated when the AC is turned off, or on.

Perhaps the LG ThinQ app is sending some kind of 'keep me informed' signal, or starts some kind of heart beat with data. Would there be a way to find more about those signals?
