Compatibility with netatmo termostat device

[gieljnssns]

Hi,

Do you have plan on support termostat device ? I notice it is not available yet.

I can give u acces to mine

thank you.

Hello Giel,

I do not have access to a thermostat and I must admit that the associated API structure do not give me a lot of desire to dig in it (as usual with Netatmo: overkill and prone to repeated breaking changes 😄, I am kidding... or am I ?)

But if you could write a minimal set of specifications (features/functions you need) and give me temporary access to a device, I could check if it is reasonably fast to write...

Yours truly

[gieljnssns]

read out the setpoint, current temperature, thermostat mode, battery status setthermpoint, switch schedule do I have to give your ****@wanadoo.fr mailadress acces to mine thermostat?

[philippelt]

Yes, this is my netatmo account. I just need "read" scope, I will ask you to do yourself any "write" test just to be sure to avoid any trouble. Phil

[gieljnssns]

Invitation send…

[philippelt]

Hello,

could you try the basic support I just add to the library. I created an example to start from in sample/printThermostat For the full data structure, refer to the Netatmo documentation

Thanks for providing access to your thermostat

Phil

I just start to understand the terminology used. What is named "module" in the API should be understood as thermostat and what is called "station" is in fact the relay for wifi transmission... Once again, I will have to dig to try to understand the behavior and provide a simpler interface.

I will update the library to better reflect the actual system design.

[gieljnssns]

I wil try this this weekend, I have a lot to do for my job. But if you can try al of that, no problem, just do it. I wil keep an eye on my thermostat, that it go’s back to auto.

Thanks in advantage,

Giel

I've installed on my pi with pip3. I've hardcoded my creds in the lnetatmo.py file. When I do pi@raspberrypi:/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages $ python3 lnetatmo.py I get

lnetatmo.py : warning, no weather station available for testing
lnetatmo.py : OK

[philippelt]

I didn't upload the interim version to pypi. To use the last library version, download it directly from github. This is a single file library, you just need letatmo.py. I will update the pypi package when the release will be stabilized.

The warning just means that library testing is not possible for weather station features as you don't have any one attached to your account. If you don't own a weather station this is a normal behavior

[gieljnssns]

What do I have to test now?

[gieljnssns]

>>> import sys
>>> import lnetatmo
>>> authorization = lnetatmo.ClientAuth()
>>> thermostat = lnetatmo.ThermostatData(authorization)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'ThermostatData'

Hello,

Sorry to hijack this thread but I would like to offer my help too if you need some.

I am interested in having the possibility to use setpoint_endtime but have no knowledge in programmation :) (actually to end manual temperature and go back to normal mode, I set away on/off as a workaround)

https://dev.netatmo.com/resources/technical/reference/thermostat/setthermpoint

If you need testers for netatmo producut I have access to the Netatmo Thermostat, 5 connected Vannes (no API yet I think) and two Presence Camera's.

As last word, thank you for all the work you already done ! :)

@gieljnssns : You must download lnetatmo.py from the repo to test (the pypi version do not include the thermostat support yet). As a start point, you should be able to run samples/printThermostat to view your datas

@tibuski thanks for your proposal to help. The biggest issue with netatmo products is to define actual life use case to build an API binding that is friendly and easy to use. If you could add details to gieljnssns requirements, it would help to reach the target :) Of course, feel free to download the work in progress version from github and test it with your thermostat...

Have fun !

[tibuski]

Avec plaisir :)

Github is new for me but I will check the best way to connect and test your code.

As Giel told, in an ideal worId, I would need to :

• Read data (temp, firmware of relay and thermostat as many updates by netatmo and battery level)
• Set temperature for a given time (as the manual temperature override the schedule)
• Switch between schedules

See you soon :)

[gieljnssns]

<noname> : 14 is away zone (type 2) <noname> : 7 is frost-guardzone (type 3)

[tibuski]

To be sure I don't break anything. Do I need to download the full project and run the setup or only replace the old lnetatmo.py file already present ?

[philippelt]

@gieljnssns, you don't need to type the script in interpretor by hand, just run it with $ python3 samples/printThermostat (you can download it separately). I don't know why some zone do not have name (or is it just that you didn't set name for the moment) ?

@lbrichet, for the moment, and until a full thermostat release is published, I recommend to just download required files (lnetatmo.py and the sample program printThermostat) in a separate directory and run them locally in this directory (import will always use a local file over a system wide installed one).

[gieljnssns]

When I do pi@raspberrypi:~/netatmo-api-python $ python3 samples/printThermostat I get this error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "samples/printThermostat", line 9, in <module>
    import lnetatmo
ImportError: No module named 'lnetatmo'

Apparently those 2 are special modi

[tibuski]

Here is what I get :

Noname 15 is probably the Away temperature and Noname 7 the No Frost one

[philippelt]

@gieljnssns For testing, the lnetatmo.py file and the printThermostat file must be located in the same directory.

Thanks for the info about the special modes, I am going to dig about them

[philippelt]

@lbrichet : I just started to dig in the API structure and I will change the code to reflect the actual equipments (relay, thermostat, ...) @gieljnssns already told me about the special nature of these modes, I will investigate as soon as I will have some time available...

Thanks to you all for your contributions 👍

[tibuski]

You are welcome, thank you for your work !

Just ask if you need anything tested !

[gieljnssns]

I do not have access to a thermostat and I must admit that the associated API structure do not give me a lot of desire to dig in it (as usual with Netatmo: overkill and prone to repeated breaking changes 😄, I am kidding... or am I ?)

You were right, there is a breaking change in the energy api: https://dev.netatmo.com/resources/technical/reference/energy

[philippelt]

Many thanks for the info and sorry for the loooooong delay.

My "bread & butter" activity suddenly pops up with serious workload that I didn't yet finish to deliver but I may soon find some time to restart the thermostat implementation with a better features support coverage and cleaner implementation...

See you soon and thanks to all for your help.
