Detect sensors already paired by HACS Wyzesense integration #37

Closed SamuelCarson closed 3 years ago

Will this component detect sensors already paired by the Wyzesense integration or will they need to be unpaired and re-paired when switching from the HACS integration to wysesense2MQTT

raetha commented 4 years ago

Hi @SamuelCarson, it should detect all sensors paired with the bridge, and automatically add them to the sensors.yaml file when it runs. They won't have intuitive names at that point, but you can then rename them in the config file or directly in Home Assistant after they are discovered.

Bridge tool shows: 15 sensors paired: Sensor: 779C04F4 Sensor: 779C04C9 Sensor: 779D582D Sensor: 7788277B Sensor: 7786E6CD Sensor: 77881982 Sensor: 77882771 Sensor: 77882895 Sensor: 77882CDF Sensor: 77882C6B Sensor: 778828A0 Sensor: 77869E12 Sensor: 77882724 Sensor: 77882C9A Sensor: 7786E6B8 Home Assistant shows these as Unavailable and wyzesense2mqtt has NOT updated the sensors.yaml file. I am completely stumped.

Published topic=wyzesense2mqtt/reload with blank payload. Nothing happened.

Figured it out. There was no /wyzesense2mqtt/logs directory. Several changes to linux install are necessary, especially if running on a raspberry pi. Complete updated instructions are in the following file Install wyzesense2mqtt.txt

@SamuelCarson really appreciate the updated docs. I've incorporated those changes into the devel instructions, and they will update fully on the 1.2 release.
