New pip package for home assistant integration

[somm15]

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the config, it's really great with ha. I'm automating the ComfoAir to boost when the light is on in the bathroom (humidity sensor is good but I would like to really boost). Unfortunately, I didn't find how to revert to auto mode. As far as I understand "auto" is not in the speed_list for a fan object in ha. So I don't know how to do it in a clean way.

Meanwhile, I wrote this little python script to be called from ha:

#!/usr/bin/python3
from pycomfoconnect import Bridge,ComfoConnect
from pycomfoconnect.const import *
local_uuid = bytes.fromhex('00000000000000000000000000000005')
bridges = Bridge.discover("X.X.X.X")
pin = 0000
local_name = "Custom script"

bridge=bridges[0]
comfoconnect = ComfoConnect(bridge, local_uuid, local_name, pin)
comfoconnect.connect(True)
comfoconnect.cmd_rmi_request(CMD_MODE_MANUAL)
comfoconnect.cmd_rmi_request(CMD_MODE_AUTO)
comfoconnect.disconnect()

it's probably ugly but it does work. Unfortunately, the pip package is rather old the the const for auto mode is not there yet. Could you please publish a new pip package ? If I can be super annoying, could you require that new version in ha? (If there is a solution to revert to auto mode from ha directly it's event better)

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

The Boost mode is a seperate timer from the levels and the automatic/manual control - It overrides these. You need ot send the correct boost off command to stop the boost.

It actually works with my script. I just set the speed to high when the switch is pressed in the bathroom. High is same speed as boost but without timeout.

My problem is to restore the auto mode. If the version embedded with ha would be thd latest one, my script would work.

But boost on/off from ha would indeed be cleaner.

Simply write comfoconnect.cmd_rmi_request(b'\x85\x15\x08\x01') instead of comfoconnect.cmd_rmi_request(CMD_MODE_AUTO) You don't need to use constans from pycomfoconnect library. You can define Your own. But I agree with You, new version is needed for simplicity. I had problems with correct setting pip package for my implementation https://github.com/klaudiusz223/ComfoAirQ-Homie and I could not force pip to automatically install pycomfoconnect from github

@klaudiusz223 , good point I should have done that right away 👍
