Hubitat for AUS/NZ Chat

Maybe only came along then in the last couple of generations. I haven't required it I was just interested to hear it's possible.

I can swear by the Samsung sensors, I've got 4 of them across various installs and they haven't missed a beat, depending on where you are RACV have the best price still, Samsung won't price match haven't had time to see if JB will, RACV add a flat $14 or $15 postage so buy the time you order 2 your better than the jb price. They didn't take long to arrive from RACV either, was under a week.

OK so I just had my Somfy blinds installed today and they work flawlessly with the Bondhome.io hub. Many thanks @bond-jacob :):smiley:

Thanks for the update @jchurch, glad to hear your blinds are working. I was getting a little worried reading about your issues with the fans. I think my somfy motors are likely to be installed in the new year at this stage.

Nice one. Also my bondhome.io / fan problem should be sorted soon with a workaround. The only thing really effecting me though are rule machine rules but dashboard selection in HE is solid, in fact I haven't used the fan remotes at all but its just these fans don't have a true on / off button only a toggle switch, my rear fan (another brand called Infinity) doesn't suffer from the issue. I just wanted a rule that turned them on and off which would be nice at some stage.

Ordered 2 to test - hopefully easy enough to get going.
Also if you have Prime, they are $58 delivered. Better than ebay pricing.

If anyone else is interested I'm just starting to play around with the Mitsubishi Electric API, specifically for the cloud service linked to the AU/NZ Wifi adaptors, referred to as MELView, i.e. NOT the MELCloud service for Europe or the Kumo Cloud for the US. It seems pretty straight forward, hopefully I'll have something simple in the next few days to a week.

Separate to this, I've also done some work integrating the temperature readings from my Philips Hue motion sensors still linked to my hue hub, as well as SensorPush temperature sensors. Might release some of these once I tidy up the code a little more.

EDIT: Adjusted my phrasing in the first paragraph after some confusion with a user in Europe expecting my code to work, when in fact it is MELCloud in Europe, with a different service and difference API :frowning: I left the code dormant for some time, but have been tinkering more recently and hopefully will end up releasing it sometime soon, perhaps even with the MELCloud integration as well.

I started work on exactly the same thing about a year ago. I based it on the ST sensibo code. But I never finished it and life got in the way....I was hoping that the warm weather would give me an incentive to start working on it again!

Anyway, Iโ€™m interested in what you come up with and can help test and debug.

Thanks @pjam73. I found a good article that listed the HTTP calls, which all seem simple enough:

Not sure how flexible my code may be initially, I have a ducted system with zones, but will see how flexible I can make it. Do you have a ducted as well or a split system?

Be interested to see how you get along with these.
Would be even nicer if it had an integrated light switch also!

I mean, could I not remap the off button to be light toggle + off fan.
Then have button 1 - fan on plus speed 1
button 2 - fan on plus speed 2
button 3 - fan on plus speed 3

actually no.
Off can be the light switch, and the 3 buttons can be,
button 1 - toggle fan, plus speed 1
button 2 - toggle fan, plus speed 2
button 3 - toggle fan, plus speed 3

anyway, currently im working with smart bulbs and dumb switches, so im just keen to get the fans under control and adding to the setup.

Possibly...will be interested to see how you go anyway...

will report back~!

Yes, thatโ€™s what I worked from. I have two split systems
I suggest you start from the sensibo code thatโ€™s been ported to Hubitat. Itโ€™s also had a lot of the excessive logging put behind preference switches.

Thanks for the tip. I'll get the basic calls functioning in my own driver, but then look to incorporate them into something like the sensibo driver / app.

I've already been able to use a REST Api app on my Android tablet to perform all the basic authenitcation and operating functions, and have started developing the authentication calls in my own basic HE driver, so far so good.

It's good that you have splits, that may introduce some different data / requirements compared to my ducted system, such as a swing function, etc.

Just used Tuya Convert 2 to flash @keith_munro new Brilliant smart plug which I got from Officeworks today (I just wanted to see how it worked) and it was super easy. I will still need to take it apart and solder the temp sensor in but still if it's just a smart plug your after with Tasmota (my personal fav) i'd definitely take a look into this.

Temp sensor mod ???
Link me up buddy :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Oh did you want one too mate? If so PM me I had no idea. I am happy to do a bunch if that's what the ppl want :stuck_out_tongue:

EDIT: I am waiting on parts though as I only had 1 compatible Tasmota sensor left but I think I ordered another 3 from China.

I was Just wondering what itโ€™s all about

No worries if you want one PM me though. Otherwise I have 1 requested from @keith_munro although his plug just made a great Christmas Tree plug haha :wink:
