The water softener? It works fine - has been reliable. We’re on well and septic, so it’s a must - after we started getting rings in the toilet 3 months after building the house.
The app works great, and the flow alerts are pretty good. Won’t catch a small faucet leak, but will definitely catch a running toilet.
I noticed a while back support for icemakers was added. I’m assuming this is for a standalone icemaker, and not icemaker monitoring on refrigerators? I often go into my smartHQ app to see the status of my icemaker (it shows if the icemaker is maki g ice or if it’s full) I would love to be able to see this as an attribute in Hubitat and write an automation around that attribute.
Hi @tomw thank you for this driver! I was able to get my oven hooked up but also have a GE Cafe Cooktop I would love to add so I can use the cooktop status to trigger my range hood. I saw this old post and wanted to see if you had any luck with the modified driver for cooktops? Sorry I know this is an old post. Thanks in advance.
Any chance of adding the GE Profile Auto Espresso with Frother?
Not much of interest in the App for control, just shot size/temp.
But it would be nice to get access to the notifications, ie fill the tank.
Does anyone know if this driver works with Fisher & Paykel appliances? They are supposed to be compatible with SmartHQ, so I assume yes. But I'd rather know before committing to a large purchase.
I'll be trying to get 2 GE air conditioners added to HE in the next couple weeks. One is an older model but the other is one of their newer clearview models. Hopefully I'll be able to utilize this along with the SmartHQ app. I only use the standard hubitat apps so I'm not expecting a lot.
Hello, I have installed through HPM, I followed the instructions and set up the SmartHQ system, ebntered my user name and password and it seems to connect and get a key, but it does not add child devices.
I have waited, Repaired the install, deleted and reinstalled, but I don't get any devices. I checked logs and nothing seems out of order. Any thoughts?
A little late to reply but I just set this up on a Haier fridge/freezer which is basically the same as Fisher Paykel. Works fine, would be good to have a door open alarm but this is not part of SmartHQ, I'll have to stick with my contact sensors. EDIT: Just realised that temperature is in Fahrenheit!
My GE refrigerator has open close sensors on both doors, the pull out drawer and freezer door. So it's probably your fridge that does not have the sensors built in.
@tomw I added a GE Air conditioner and couldn't get it to populate as a child device at first.
I realized although this is basically exactly the same as a window unit (which I assume is categorized as either "Air Conditioner" or "Portable AC" as the device type), this one shows up as "Through Wall AC" as it is intended to mount through the wall instead of in a window.
I was able to edit the SmartHQ System driver to add this as an alias, but I'm assuming this will break for me on the next update.
You may want to add this alias next time you update the app. I've attached a screenshot of the change that worked for me.
Hi @tomw! I stumbled upon your driver when I was looking for a solution for our GE Washer. I have a GE Profile Top Load Washer and noticed that it doesn't rinse out our clothes well even with an Extra Rinse, only using 1 Tbsp of laundry detergent max, and adding vinegar to the rinse cycle to help remove the detergent. After some research, I've come to find out that GE is literally the ONLY brand that does not spin in between washes and rinses, so it never actually extracts the soapy water out of the clothes before going into the final rinse. Short of buying another washer, the only solution I have found is to run a Drain + Spin with a Deep Rinse after every wash (to effectively make it a Rinse + Spin)
I would really like to automate the addition of the "Rinse + Spin" after every wash cycle that is not it. This would really add value to my life lol. But, I'm not so sure how to do that with your driver. I think I would need a way to do the following:
Check the cycle setting name (Towels, Normal, etc.) and the machineState (already in driver)
Pick a cycle setting (Drain + Spin) and set params (Deep Rinse = true).
Start selected cycle.
Edit: Just saw your instructions in GitHub! I will be back with screenshots
First of all, thank you @tomw for your dedication to this project.
I just installed your SmartHQ Hubitat App, and I successfully added child devices for my GE oven and fridge under the SmartHQ System Device. Login was successful, and logs indicate good communication. But I've got one issue and a couple of questions:
Issue: Dashboard tiles for the SmartHQ devices don't seem to work.
Any idea how/why? For the fridge, clicking the 3-dot buttons on the dashboard tile just says "Unknown device type: "Other"", and for the oven, it says "Missing Attributes: numberOfButtons".
I've tested changing settings for the fridge from the device screen, so I know I can do that, but it would be nice to be able to do this from a dashboard.
Question 1: I can't figure out how to do anything with the oven. There is a single "Push" command, with an accompanying number field, but I have no idea what to put in there to do anything. How do I use this device?
Question 2: The refrigerator is a GE Profile model # PGD29BYTFS that has a drawer with an adjustable temperature separate from the refrigerator and freezer sections. Any way that drawer can be included as an adjustable parameter? Honestly, I never change the refrigerator and freezer setpoints, but I do change the drawer temperature depending on what's in it.
If you look at the device page you can see what things you can change. There is a Adjust setpoint for the freezer and fridge, but not the drawer, not sure if that could be added.
I have the pod count on my dishwasher set as a hub variable and using RM it monitors the pod count and I can change it via the dashboard. I can set it via my dashboard as well
Just and FYI:
I perusing a different route in talking to GE appliances, a route that does not use the GE SmartHQ Cloud. The cloud is replaced by a local MQTT server.
The key here is getting my hands on a GE First Build carrier board. In the link provided a schematic of that carrier board is provided so If necessary I can DIY my own board.
The code provided is for home-assistant that minor but bug is easily fixed.
Looking at the code they are dumping all internal messages to the MQTT Server. leaving it up to someone else to decode the messages.
Not sure if you were replying to me or not, since I never mentioned a dishwasher, but if you were, I just want it to work. Currently, as shown in my screenshot, dashboard tiles for my 2 appliances are non-functional. I'd be happy to have tiles that showed current parameter states (e.g. oven raw temp, oven target temp), and tiles that performed control functions (e.g. set oven target temperature).
The oven device page has one command--"Push"--where the input parameter is a number. So I can't currently control the oven without some sort of parameter or attribute table:
I can successfully change refrigerator and freezer temps from the device page, but a dashboard tile would be much better from a UX perspective. And yes, I know I can't adjust the drawer temp, that's what I posted above, hoping @tomw would be able to help out.
And while your screenshot of your dishwasher door panel tile is nice, as I said in my original post, my tiles currently don't work at all.
I was showing how you display device attributes on a tile. It's the same for a dishwasher or refrigerator.
You can change the setpoint on a tile but you would need to use a HUB variable and a RM rule along with the tile to do it.
Below is my dashboard for three of my GE appliances, a Refrigerator, Oven and dishwasher. If you give a specific example of what attribute you want to display perhaps we can give you instructions on how to set it up.
