Feature Request: climate support

[marc3k18]

Hello,

I trying to install zigbee2mqtt addon but im still having some error. Its only for testing purpose!

Thanka

[t0bst4r]

Hi, can you provide some more details? Are you able to get the docker logs from the plugin page (tab next to configuration) ?

[t0bst4r]

To be honest, I am wondering what you are doing there. This addon is publishing the entities you already have in Home Assistant as a matter bridge to other matter clients (like Alexa). why do you need zigbee2mqtt in there? wouldn’t it be more useful to have zigbee2mqtt in home assistant, have the entities in there and publish them via HA to this plugin?

[marc3k18]

Hi,

I want to use the climate device also.

Okay umm, i see. You are using the home assistant addon and you are trying to add the zigbee matterbridge plugin using the webui of matterbridge. Am i right?

The docker image I am building for this addon does not include any other plugin than mine. Even when the UI of matterbridge allows adding plugins which are already installed, it does not allow installing plugins which are missing.

i am not sure if I should add those matterbridge plugins to the addon. I should rather add support for the entity types of home assistant which are missing.

Since I don’t have any climate devices, I’d need help for that. What attributes does a entity has? What service calls are needed in home assistant?

as long as not all entity types are supported, I would be fine adding the zigbee plugin (without any support from my side) . But i don’t think it’s a good solution.

[marc3k18]

Yes you are right. I'm trying to put some zigbee baseboard heater on Matter!

There is the attribute:

hvac_modes:

• heat min_temp: 5 max_temp: 30 target_temp_step: 0.5 current_temperature: 21 temperature: 5 hvac_action: idle friendly_name: Z2M - T - Chambre Garçons supported_features: 385

The only service need is the set target temperature. To put them at off, their need to be set at 5 degres.

There is the model: https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/HT402.html

1. Those are the attributes from home assistant right? So it is connected to HA? Just to make sure.
2. Can you post the detailed service call in yaml format of how you set the temperature in home assistant (e.g. in automations) ?
3. Could you provide a list of all service calls available for this kind of entity?
4. Could you provide the entity_id of one of those devices?

[marc3k18]

1. Yes. Those are connect directly to zigbee2mqtt.

2. service: climate.set_temperature data_template: temperature: 20 entity_id: climate.z2m_t_chambre_garcons

3. It's the only service call available for this model. It's also returning the energy mesurement but I dont need it.

4. climate.z2m_t_chambre_garcons

[t0bst4r]

Thank you. I’ll give it a try in the next couple of days and then come back to you to test it 🙂

[t0bst4r]

I didn’t had the chance to look into this yet, since there are some other bugs to fix before. But I am still having this in mind. 😁

[marc3k18]

No worry! Thanks!

[t0bst4r]

@marc3k18

I have implemented basic climate support (only level control = temperature), but have no way to test it since i have no climate device. It is currently available in the next beta-release.

You can fetch it (via Docker) using ghcr.io/t0bst4r/matterbridge-home-assistant/beta:1.1.0-beta88. Could you please give it a try and provide feedback? Including screenshots of Alexa or google or apple home, and what is missing etc.

[marc3k18]

Thanks for your work!

But Im not equipe to run docker. Im running HA on with HAOS.

Can you add this to the addon in beta?

Okay, I am currently refactoring the release flow - again 😂

I’ll change it to not release beta versions at all, but immediately release everything as soon as possible to get direct feedback. It‘ll be available with the addon latest end of this week.

[marc3k18]

Hey!

I just try the last update for the climate. It automaticly crash when I add a climate entity.

[t0bst4r]

Thank you for the feedback. I’ll have a look into detail tomorrow. I just found a way to create a virtual devices using generic-thermostat and hass-virtual.

If that works, I can test it locally and release more stable versions 🙂

[t0bst4r]

Virtual devices works! Since the current implementation is just wrong, I need to re-implement the climate device. I’ve disabled that device type for now in version 1.2.1

It’s not that easy. I need to understand how climates or thermostats work in matter.

[t0bst4r]

Due to limited time on my side and a slightly higher complexity in this kind of matter devices, i didn't have the possibility to finally implement that. Sorry for postponing it even more.

[tammeryousef1006]

hi there , im really awaiting climate since day one , can you add support for it in near soon or it will take longer time?

thanks in advance

[kaovilai]

Would be happy to help in any way.

I have a home kit enabled thermostat and HA + Google Home as Matter Controllers.

[t0bst4r]

Thanks for reminding me 😄 I just had a quick look and it seemed that my initial implementation from months ago was just wrong 😆

In general it will be possible, but I need to understand how climates work in home assistant. Taking your previously posted attributes:

hvac_modes:
  - heat
min_temp: 5
max_temp: 30
target_temp_step: 0.5
current_temperature: 21
temperature: 5
hvac_action: idle
friendly_name: Z2M - T - Chambre Garçons
supported_features: 385

• What features do they have and which of some are conditional? (Looking at hvac_mode). I can probably look that up in the Home Assistant documentation.
• temperature means the target temperature, right?
• Since there are also device able to do cooling, I don’t think setting the target temperature to min-temperature will turn off all devices. I’d expect to have a turn off service in home assistant, isn’t there one?
• How do those auto or smart modes work? Are they needed in the first step?
• What does hvac_action mean?

On the other hand I need to understand the matter api. For that I’d need to read a bit of the documentation as well.

I’ll try to get that done till the end of this week, but please forgive me if it takes longer, since I am doing that in my spare time besides family and full time work.

[tammeryousef1006]

thanks for following up

[kaovilai]

My thermostat on HA via HomeKit and in real life have three modes: cool, heat, off. The same thermostat was earlier connected via Smartthings integration with Honeywell Home which also added fan control.

References:

type string Required climate-hvac-modes

style string (Optional, default: icons) How the modes should be displayed. It can be either dropdown or icons.

hvac_modes list Required List of modes to show on the card. The list can contain auto, heat_cool, heat, cool, dry, fan_only, and off.

type string Required climate-preset-modes

style string (Optional, default: dropdown) How the preset modes should be displayed. It can be either dropdown or icons.

preset_modes list Required List of preset modes to show on the card. The list can contain eco, away, boost, comfort, home, sleep, and activity or any other custom preset mode.

[tammeryousef1006]

here is mine

[t0bst4r]

okay, i've got a working version with my virtual heat-only device 😀 I couldnt test cooling or combined devices. Additionally i did not implement "dry" or "fan_only", yet. Just wanted to release early with limited features to get fast feedback.

[marc3k18]

All my device are heat only if it could help.

yeah, it was just released as 2.7.0. please give it a try.

[tammeryousef1006]

i did try and exposed 4 ac's , all appears at smartthings but not controlling cool nor heat

[t0bst4r]

Can you provide some details? Do you see controls, but they just don’t do anything? Do you see no controls at all?

[tammeryousef1006]

i see controls yes and they dont do anything , I will upload photo

[tammeryousef1006]

[t0bst4r]

Is it also not possible to set the mode to „cool“ or „heat“? At the moment, auto is not implemented.

Could you please enable debug logging and see if there are any logs?

[tammeryousef1006]

i can choose coot heat auto , but the icon keeps loading forever and no command goes to ac

[t0bst4r]

1. Yes, that’s probably the point. We cannot control the temperature without setting the mode to something other than off. I have added debug logs which show „change system mode from x to y“ when changing it. I’d like to see that in your logs. But therefore you need to enable debug log first.

2. A different test: Can you try setting the mode in home assistant to (e.g.) heat? Does it change in smartthings as well then? Is it then possible to change the temperature?

[t0bst4r]

Thank you! That is helpful. I’ll have a look at it later today

[t0bst4r]

That's interesting. Attributes in matter.js can be FixedAttribute or WritableAttribute. If we try to change fixed attributes, we get the error message you have. On the other hand we can change writable attributes.

The only thing that makes me sceptical is writeAcl: AccessLevel.Manage. But there is no documentation available for that in matter.js.

---

Additionally I just had a look at the list of supported devices and ecosystems. Noone ever tested thermostats on smartthings and tuya.

just providing some extra info; the same happens for me using google home, I can see my AC but I as soon as I try to change anything on Google home, such as mode, fan speed, temparature, nothing happens. I checked the matterbridge logs and I get a similar to the quoted message

[mclever]

And when trying to change the temp from google app the display changes from fahrenheit to Celsius
