Wishlist: Binary sensor, class update: Homepilot Update Available

[hklages]

Hi - 1.3.2 works fine and I am now replacing my HomePilot scenes rest_command by Home Assistant scenes:

blinds_set_scene:
  url: "http://hkHomepilot.fritz.box/scenes/{{sid}}/actions"
  method: POST
  payload: '{ "request_type": "EXECUTESCENE", "trigger_event": "TRIGGER_SCENE_MANUALLY_EVT" }'

So last open topic is:

For all my systems I monitor "status running", "recent backups done" and whether "updates are available". Is it possible to have the "update available" for the HomePilot 2 in you integration?

Currently I do that with the following sensors: (HomePilot 2 is available at hkHomePilot.fritz.box = 192.168.178.15 - that is discovered by your integration (dhcp discovery))

in file binary sensor

- name:  "SHS Homepilot Update Available"
    state: "{{ state_attr('sensor.homepilot_update_and_version', 'update_status') != 'NO_UPDATE_AVAILABLE' }}"
    device_class: update

in in configuration yaml:

rest:   
# SHS System Health Service: HomePilot get update and version as attributes every day
  - resource_template: "http://hkHomepilot.fritz.box/service/system-update-image/status"
    method: "GET"
    scan_interval: 86400
    sensor: 
      name: "HomePilot Update And Version"
      value_template: "{{ now() }}"
      json_attributes:
      - update_status
      - version

Hi @hklages It's a good idea to add some more info about the hub itself. Actually I had already thought abou that.

I personally don't have the Home Pilot hub, I have the smaller Start2Smart, which doesn't have all the functionalities. For instance, I don't have Scenes, Groups and Automations.

For the scenes, maybe it makes sense to add custom services that you can call from within HA.

But I can start on the other info, like the FW Update / Version and others. Which I can actually test myself. I'll keep you posted on that.

Also, thanks for providing the list of API endpoints, I think the /devices part is pretty much covered, at least for the Actuators and Sensors part.

Hi Pedro - thats fine for me.

In my opinion the Start2Smart is the better choice - smaller, cheeper. I now use scenes/automation in Home Assistant and only use the HomePilot hub for teaching in new devices.

By the way: In my installation the sensor do not provide any information/event. According to the operation manual they only work in a specific automation mode - I use manual.

have a nice day, Henning

Hi @hklages Can you provide me the output of the following endpoint on your HomePilot? /service/system-update-image/version

I'm wondering if hw_platform and sw_platform can provide info of what is the hardward used (HomePilot or Start2Smart). on mine it returns:

{
  "version": "5.4.9",
  "df_stick_version": "2.1",
  "hw_platform": "ampere",
  "sw_platform": "bridge"
}

Meanwhile I'm going to add two new entities, the FWUpdate Sensor, and a Switch for the LEDs.

Thank you.

{"version":"5.4.9","df_stick_version":"0.10","hw_platform":"curie","sw_platform":"homepilot"}

If I remember right, I had to insert this stick into the HomePilot usb
