[RELEASE] Home Assistant Device Bridge (HADB)

ymerj · May 23, 2024, 2:10pm

This, even partially, would require a number of test runs on your parts.

mluck · May 23, 2024, 4:42pm

Ahhh, I see.

I had added my HA water heater to HADB but the values I wanted (setpoint and mode) didn't come across (even though I have HADB working with other devices). Sure enough, they are not climate or sensor entities, so think I'll go the helper route.

Thanks for clarifying.

ymerj · May 24, 2024, 12:46pm

Some users reported a missing attribute in the climate integration (supportedThermostatFanModes). There is a patch available for this but I can't test it myself (my thermostats are not fancy enough). If anyone would like to try it and let me know if it works fine, here is the link:

Version 2.5:

Add supported fan modes to climate entity
Add support for valve entity

I took a quick look through the thread and I am sure there is a process for exposing missing devices but the thread is long and so I didn't see it.

I have a Tuya diffuser. I selected it from the available devices in HADB but it is not showing up as a device in Hubitat.

The device has a light switch, which does work, and a diffuser main control switch, which doesn't show. Thanks for any help on this.

Device are only created when a change in status occurs: Toggle the relevant device.

You would need to provide more info on the device. Especially the entity ID.

simon4 · May 31, 2024, 7:10pm

Thanks, I actually remembered to toggle the device several times.

The entity id is humidifier.diffuser

It has an on/off and a mode with small/large. That is essentially low/high setting. Thanks.

ymerj · May 31, 2024, 10:48pm

HADB does not currently support humidifier entities and there is no equivalent capability in HE.

I see a problem with setting a dynamic constrain on a hypothetical "setHumidifierMode" command in a generic component. Perhaps a workaround could be implemented but it would require some test runs on your parts.

Let me know if it is worth your while.

simon4 · June 1, 2024, 1:27am

Happy to test it. Really only need to turn the diffuser on and off. Setting level between low and high is icing on the cake.

simon · June 8, 2024, 5:29pm

Every now and then the HE Integration in HA needs to be reloaded. Not sure what causes this.

I'd like to set up an automation in HA, maybe based on a trigger like
"When Hub HE Mode changes to Unavailable for 5:00"
Does anyone know the action that's needed to reload the HE Integration. I'm not too familiar with HA.

Thanks, Simon

ogiewon · June 8, 2024, 7:02pm

Which integration are you referring to, specifically? The integration in this thread, Home Assistant Device Bridge (HADB), is used to bring Home Assistant devices into Habitat. It uses HA's built-in webSocket for connectivity, and thus there is no custom code on the HA side whatsoever.

If you're using the other HA Integration for Hubitat, which brings HE devices into HA, please post your question in that developers thread at

simon · June 8, 2024, 8:08pm

Thank you.... Looks like I'm using both !!!!

ymerj · June 13, 2024, 11:45am

Version 2.6:

Add support for humidifier entity (thanks to testing from @simon4)
Add color mode to light entity to comply with EZdashboard requirement
Add index to light effects

ssalahi · June 14, 2024, 2:30am

Should we change the old lights to a new driver?
I have a light that was there before, I can turn it on/off, but the status is not changing in hubitat, although the light itself does turn in/off

Update:
I actually fixed it by adding a ? to the effectList on line 295 in hub parent driver. and the result is:

effectsList = newState?.attributes?.effect_list?.indexed(1)

ymerj · June 14, 2024, 10:53am

Thanks. I made the change in github. HPM users will have to update if they need it.

Edit: Also added colorName (white) to CT so EZdashboard stop complaining.

I am trying to control a gecko spa control pack using the Gecko Integration in HA(GitHub - gazoodle/gecko-home-assistant: Home Assistant integration for spas equipped with Gecko Alliance in.touch2 modules), but it errors out so I'm assuming I need a custom driver. I was able to bring the light controls, and a few others over to HE using the HADB, but I cannot control the pump. Its setup as a fan control for off/low/high. Please see the following log dump.

ymerj · June 16, 2024, 11:26pm

Your pump (fan entity) does not report any percentage value for the speed. It only use presets which are not supported by HADB. Meanwhile, HA phased out the use of named speed a year ago or so.

HADB handling of that obsolete attribute is now irrelevant. Perhaps it can be refactored to handle presets instead.

luke2 · June 19, 2024, 10:10pm

On the latest HA , HE ( 2.3.9.153) and HADB I have an issue where a light that is part of a ESPHome fan/light combo no longer shows any state but 'on'.

The device will turn on and off from anywhere, ha, he or physical, but the state in HE is always on, which breaks automations as it's often skipped as it's 'already on'.

It's only started happening in the last week or so.

I am getting these java errors in the logs for the HADB parent device.

ymerj · June 20, 2024, 12:20am

There was an oversight in the last update that cause this error. It was corrected on github.

I never remember what users have to do in HPM to get the update... I think it is:

Repair
Matchup
Update

672southmain · June 20, 2024, 1:24am

just Repair will do it. that pulls in a complete new set of code, regardless of whether it is needed.
