Feature request(s)

[Rijswijker]

Hello Mike,

I don't know the official way to request a small addition to an existing core feature in Home Assistant, I only see a Bug report, or the forum but i can't tag a integration and i don't know if you look there.

Battery Voltage Sensor Can you also add the "battery_voltage" sensor to the integration? My door closes heavily and for that I need to make sure the battery voltage is around 9.5v+, however the percentage is not always reliable enough.

I tried it myself through the custom_components folder but i get an error that the instance is already created from __init__.py where i didn't change anything.

sensor.py

from homeassistant.const import (
    PERCENTAGE,
    SIGNAL_STRENGTH_DECIBELS_MILLIWATT,
    EntityCategory,
    VOLTAGE,
)

...

    SensorEntityDescription(
        key="battery_voltage",
        device_class=SensorDeviceClass.VOLTAGE,
        state_class=SensorStateClass.MEASUREMENT,
        entity_category=EntityCategory.DIAGNOSTIC,
        native_unit_of_measurement=VOLT,
    ),

Open house mode Another small question, is it possible to activate the “open house mode” (Touwtje uit de brievenbus) feature through the API? I don't think so considering I can't find much about it in the documentation.

Activate Bridge relay Soon I want to add my porch door to Loqed via the relay contact on the bridge.

Documentation: https://support.loqed.com/nl/articles/6235933-elektronische-deuren-openen-met-de-loqed-bridge-beta

Can you add the “Bridge relay (BETA)” as a switch/button?

---

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards, Robbert van den Berg

I'm not from Loqed or Shelly!

I requested the same function for touwtje a long time ago and they answered me that they wouldn't implement that function.

I also wanted "touwtje" to turn off when the door state turned to Locked.

Also not sure if the same people are still working for loqed.

Hey there! Unfortunately neither am I. With the transfer of the Loqed IP to Shelly I longer have a direct connection with the company and am waiting what the future holds for our locks. This is the repository I use for testing the integration when I want to add new features to the mainline, so I guess this is as good a place as any. I'll have a look at the battery voltage sensor. Seems straightforward enough.

Open house mode can only be manipulated via the cloud API. It cannot be configured via the local API. SInce I haven't got a clue whether this API will remain or change I'd rather not tie it to the cloud. Also, I prefer it to work locally without the cloud as much as possible.

The relay functionality also seems to be cloud only. So I can't add that as well :(
