How to setup a switch template to call some services

[4ertik131]

Good day ! to begin with, I want to express my deep gratitude to the developers of the add-on ,, xiaomi_airpurifier ,, and express hope that the project will continue to develop!

now about the topic of the post:

according to the instructions in README.md I installed the add-on ,, xiaomi_airpurifier ,, and set up the Air Humidifier MJJSQ .

after studying the post

https://community.home-assistant.io/t/xiaomi-air-purifier-show-all-sensors-and-switches-in-ui-and-homekit/121786

unsuccessfully trying to add on / off lights, need your help.

here is my configuration.yaml file

fan:
  - platform: xiaomi_miio_airpurifier
    name: Xiaomi Air Humidifier
    host: 192.168.1.191
    token: e23dfbcf44f8aeea9e82d409c9c21e2b
    model: deerma.humidifier.mjjsq

sensor:
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      airpurifier_led:
        friendly_name: Air Purifier led Index
        value_template: '{{ states.fan.xiaomi_air_humidifier.attributes.led }}'
      airhumidifier_temperature:
        friendly_name: Air Humidifier Temperature
        value_template: '{{ states.fan.xiaomi_air_humidifier.attributes.temperature }}'
        unit_of_measurement: '°C'
      airhumidifier_humidity:
        friendly_name: Air Humidifier Humidity
        value_template: '{{ states.fan.xiaomi_air_humidifier.attributes.humidity }}'
        unit_of_measurement: '%'
      airhumidifier_mode:
        friendly_name: Air Humidifier mode
        value_template: '{{ states.fan.xiaomi_air_humidifier.attributes.mode }}'
      airhumidifier_target_humidity:
        friendly_name: Air Humidifier Target Humidity
        value_template: '{{ states.fan.xiaomi_air_humidifier.attributes.target_humidity }}'
        unit_of_measurement: '%'   
      airhumidifier_model:
        friendly_name: Air Humidifier model
        value_template: '{{ states.fan.xiaomi_air_humidifier.attributes.model }}'

here is an example of what I am trying to modify

switch:
  - platform: template
    switches:
      xiaomi_airpurifier_led:
        friendly_name: "LED"
        value_template: "{{ is_state_attr('fan.xiaomi_miio_device', 'led', true) }}"
        turn_on:
          service: xiaomi_miio.fan_set_led_on
          data:
            entity_id: fan.xiaomi_miio_device
        turn_off:
          service: xiaomi_miio.fan_set_led_off
          data:
            entity_id: fan.xiaomi_miio_device
        icon_template: "mdi:lightbulb-outline"

[syssi]

Could you inspect your home-assistant.log and provide the error messages?

[4ertik131]

error messages do not appear! (both in the log and in pop-up messages)

when you press the button ,, led ,, nothing happens. (no response from humidifier)

configuration.yaml

switch:
  # Xiaomi Air Purifier 2S
  - platform: template
    switches:
       xiaomi_airpurifier_led:
        friendly_name: "LED"
        value_template: "{{ is_state_attr('fan.xiaomi_miio_device', 'led', true) }}"
        turn_on:
          service: xiaomi_miio_airpurifier.fan_set_led_on
          data:
            entity_id: fan.xiaomi_miio_device
        turn_off:
          service: xiaomi_miio_airpurifier.fan_set_led_off
          data:
            entity_id: fan.xiaomi_miio_device
        icon_template: "mdi:lightbulb-outline"

[syssi]

Plese replace "true" with "True". This template switch works for my air purifier:

switch:
  - platform: template
    switches:
      xiaomi_airpurifier_led:
        friendly_name: "LED"
        value_template: "{{ is_state_attr('fan.air_purifier_2', 'led', True) }}"
        turn_on:
          service: xiaomi_miio_airpurifier.fan_set_led_on
          data:
            entity_id: fan.air_purifier_2
        turn_off:
          service: xiaomi_miio_airpurifier.fan_set_led_off
          data:
            entity_id: fan.air_purifier_2
        icon_template: "mdi:lightbulb-outline"

        icon_template: "mdi:lightbulb-outline"

fixed, still does not work.

how to find out the correct entity_id: ???? for my device.

[syssi]

Just browse this list: http://localhost:8123/developer-tools/state

[4ertik131]

hurray, it worked!

switch:
  # 
  - platform: template
    switches:
       xiaomi_airpurifier_led:
        friendly_name: "LED"
        value_template: "{{ is_state_attr('fan.xiaomi_air_humidifier', 'led', True) }}"
        turn_on:
          service: xiaomi_miio_airpurifier.fan_set_led_on
          data:
            entity_id: fan.xiaomi_air_humidifier
        turn_off:
          service: xiaomi_miio_airpurifier.fan_set_led_off
          data:
            entity_id: fan.xiaomi_air_humidifier
        icon_template: "mdi:lightbulb-outline"

Thank you for your help, I will add all the buttons and switches to the config in this topic.

[syssi]

If you like, you could setup templates for every feature of your device. A target humidify slider would be nice.

[4ertik131]

If you like, you could setup templates for every feature of your device. A target humidify slider would be nice.

do you have an example configuration.yaml with configured humidify slider (0 ... 90% humidity) and mode slider (Low, Medium, High, Humidity)?

I added a mode slider (Low, Medium, High, Humidity) but so far I can not get it to work

input_select:
  # 
  airhumidifier_mode:
    name: "Mode"
    options:
      - Low
      - Medium
      - High
      - Humidity
    icon: "mdi:animation-outline"

i tried changing airhumidifier_mode: xiaomi_airpurifier_mode: speed_list:

[syssi]

You could adopt this one: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/xiaomi-mi-wifi-plug-air-purifier/16189/372

[syssi]

This works for my air purifier entity:

input_select:
  airpurifier_mode:
    name: Mode
    options:
     - Auto
     - Silent
     - Favorite
     - Idle

automation:
  - id: xiaomi_mode
    alias: Xiaomi Mode
    trigger:
      platform: state
      entity_id: input_select.airpurifier_mode
    action:
      - service: fan.set_speed
        data_template:
          entity_id: fan.air_purifier_2
          speed: '{{ states.input_select.airpurifier_mode.state }}'

[4ertik131]

Это работает для моего очистителя воздуха:

input_select:
  airpurifier_mode:
    name: Mode
    options:
     - Auto
     - Silent
     - Favorite
     - Idle

automation:
  - id: xiaomi_mode
    alias: Xiaomi Mode
    trigger:
      platform: state
      entity_id: input_select.airpurifier_mode
    action:
      - service: fan.set_speed
        data_template:
          entity_id: fan.air_purifier_2
          speed: '{{ states.input_select.airpurifier_mode.state }}'

thanks for the example! I improved it to get an update online (when switching modes mechanically on the humidifier itself, the mode status in the Homeassistant changes)

input_select:
airpurifier_mode:
name: Mode
options:
- Low
- Medium
- High
- Humidity

• alias: Xiaomi Mode trigger: entity_id: input_select.airpurifier_mode platform: state action: service: fan.set_speed data_template: entity_id: fan.xiaomi_air_humidifier speed: '{{ states.input_select.airpurifier_mode.state }}'
• alias: xiaomi_mode trigger: platform: state entity_id: fan.xiaomi_air_humidifier action: service: input_select.select_option entity_id: input_select.airpurifier_mode data_template: option: '{{ states.fan.xiaomi_air_humidifier.attributes.speed }}'

i started setting target_humidity and faced such problem - target_humidity does not display values. possible error in the code?

      airhumidifier_target_humidity:
        friendly_name: Air Humidifier Target Humidity
        value_template: '{{ states.fan.xiaomi_air_humidifier.attributes.target_humidity }}'
        unit_of_measurement: '%'   

target_humidity item is not in fan.xiaomi_air_humidifier

i tested for both jsq1 and mjjsq

[syssi]

Are you able to control the target_humidity in general via the service? Just the feedback (attribute) is missing for both devices?

[syssi]

@4ertik131 The target_humidity is available now if you update the custom component to the develop branch.

[4ertik131]

@ 4ertik131 Теперь target_humidityдоступен, если вы обновите пользовательский компонент в developветке.

thanks. everything works, i tested on both humidifiers.

[4ertik131]

@syssi do you have a use case for the service? xiaomi_miio_airpurifier.fan_set_target_humidity

[syssi]

Do you like to provide an input_slider or input_select example to control the target humidity? I would like to add it to the docs.

[4ertik131]

@syssi input_slider the best thing

[4ertik131]

Вы хотели бы предоставить ли input_sliderили input_selectпример для управления целевой влажности? Хочу добавить в документацию.

Do you like to provide an input_slider or input_select example to control the target humidity? I would like to add it to the docs.

cheerful morning !

there is news about adding use cases xiaomi_miio_airpurifier.fan_set_target_humidity ? all my attempts to use examples from internet search have failed :weary:

[syssi]

Could you tell me the supported target humidities (30, 40, 50,...) of your devices?

[syssi]

Please adopt this example for your needs:

input_number:
  airpurifier_favorite_level:
    name: Favorite Level
    initial: 1
    min: 0
    max: 16
    step: 1

automation:
  - alias: Airpurifier Favorite Level Slider
    trigger:
      platform: state
      entity_id: input_number.airpurifier_favorite_level
    action:
      - service: xiaomi_miio_airpurifier.fan_set_favorite_level
        data_template:
          entity_id: fan.air_purifier_2
          level: '{{ states.input_number.airpurifier_favorite_level.state }}'

Your feedback loop is missing in this example.

[syssi]

If've added a full-featured input number example to the docs: https://github.com/syssi/xiaomi_airpurifier#input-number-example

You want to use the xiaomi_miio_airpurifier.fan_set_target_humidity service instead an monitor the target_humidity attribute.

[syssi]

I think this configuration should to the job:

input_number:
  airhumidifier_target_humidity:
    name: Target humidity
    min: 0
    max: 99
    step: 1

automation:
  - alias: Select target humidity by slider
    trigger:
      platform: state
      entity_id: input_number.airhumidifier_target_humidity
    action:
      - service: xiaomi_miio_airpurifier.fan_set_target_humidity
        data_template:
          entity_id: fan.xiaomi_air_humidifier
          humidity: '{{ states.input_number.airhumidifier_target_humidity.state|int }}'

  - alias: Monitor target humidity and update slider
    trigger:
      platform: state
      entity_id: fan.xiaomi_air_humidifier
    action:
      service: input_number.set_value
      entity_id: input_number.airhumidifier_target_humidity
      data_template:
        value: '{{ states.fan.xiaomi_air_humidifier.attributes.target_humidity }}'

[4ertik131]

Я думаю, что эта конфигурация должна работать:

input_number:
  airhumidifier_target_humidity:
    name: Target humidity
    min: 0
    max: 99
    step: 1

automation:
  - alias: Select target humidity by slider
    trigger:
      platform: state
      entity_id: input_number.airhumidifier_target_humidity
    action:
      - service: xiaomi_miio_airpurifier.fan_set_target_humidity
        data_template:
          entity_id: fan.xiaomi_air_humidifier
          humidity: '{{ states.input_number.airhumidifier_target_humidity.state|int }}'

  - alias: Monitor target humidity and update slider
    trigger:
      platform: state
      entity_id: fan.xiaomi_air_humidifier
    action:
      service: input_number.set_value
      entity_id: input_number.airhumidifier_target_humidity
      data_template:
        value: '{{ states.fan.xiaomi_air_humidifier.attributes.target_humidity }}'

Thank you very much for the work done.

I needed time to check everything on two humidifiers.

everything works correctly except for feedback.

the feedback is not responsive.

[syssi]

      platform: state
      entity_id: fan.xiaomi_air_humidifier

The trigger isn't correct. We are monitoring the state of the device. We should monitor the target humidity attribute instead.

[4ertik131]

      platform: state
      entity_id: fan.xiaomi_air_humidifier

Триггер неправильный. Мы следим за работой stateустройства. Вместо этого мы должны контролировать целевой атрибут влажности.

 alias: Monitor target humidity and update slider
  trigger:
      platform: state
      entity_id:  
      #sensor.airhumidifier_target_humidity
      #input_number.airhumidifier_target_humidity
      #fan.xiaomi_air_humidifier

I've tried these options. no one works. no feedback(

[syssi]

Please try this one:

sensor:
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      airhumidifier_target_humidity:
        friendly_name: Target humidity
        value_template: '{{ states.fan.xiaomi_air_humidifier.attributes.target_humidity }}'
        unit_of_measurement: '%'
        icon_template: mdi:water-percent

input_number:
  airhumidifier_target_humidity:
    name: Target humidity
    min: 0
    max: 99
    step: 1

automation:
  - alias: Select target humidity by slider
    trigger:
      platform: state
      entity_id: input_number.airhumidifier_target_humidity
    action:
      - service: xiaomi_miio_airpurifier.fan_set_target_humidity
        data_template:
          entity_id: fan.xiaomi_air_humidifier
          humidity: '{{ states.input_number.airhumidifier_target_humidity.state|int }}'

  - alias: Monitor target humidity and update slider
    trigger:
      platform: state
      entity_id: sensor.airhumidifier_target_humidity
    action:
      service: input_number.set_value
      entity_id: input_number.airhumidifier_target_humidity
      data_template:
        value: '{{ states.fan.xiaomi_air_humidifier.attributes.target_humidity }}'

The target_humidity attribute is exposed as template sensor here. So we can monitor the state of the sensor.

target_humidityАтрибут подвергается в качестве датчика шаблона здесь. Так мы можем следить за состоянием датчика.

feedback appeared!

one addition!

name: Target humidity
min: 0
max: 99
step: 1

min must be greater than zero. otherwise, mode switching will not work correctly.

[syssi]

Perfect! Let's close this issue and open another one if there are further questions or suggestions.
