Are the new switches with comfort sensors supported ?

[brett1996]

I'm planning the replace my digital black screen with the new Push button with LED and comfort sensors.

Are these already supported?

To be honest: I don't know.

The API documentation does not state the article numbers. To mu knowledge buttons are not exposed through the API, only the "actions".

After I posted this, I found out that there is something called Thermo switch, And I think that this is the same as the new product. And this has been in the API for almost a year, before releasing the product.

I ordered a switch, and will try it.

I have been through your code and found out that there is nothing programmed for this.
Is it an option that you can help me with this ?

If you have the device installed and configured in Niko Home Control, you can send me your device list.

With that I can add support, if Niko exposes the device through the API.

@brett1996 How is the device (the Push Button with Led and comfort sensors) called in your Niko Home Control app or in the software.
Because I don't find anything in your device list that looks like Thermo switch. I see a lot of virtual thermostats but these are already supported and exposed

[brett1996]

was this helpful?

hi, i have sent you a screenshot of the niko page where the sensors can be found. They have the same name in the software. [image: image.png]

I did not receive an image. Probably because you are replying by email instead of using the GitHub interface: #171 (comment)

These are exposed as thermostats in the Niko API.

        {
          "Uuid": "XXX",
          "Identifier": "XXX",
          "Model": "virtual",

          "Type": "thermostat",
          "Traits": [],
          "Parameters": [

          ],

            {
              "OverruleActive": "False"
            },
            {
              "SetpointTemperature": "7.00"
            },
            {
              "Demand": "None"
            },
            {
              "AmbientTemperature": "23.50"
            },
            {
              "OverruleSetpoint": ""
            },
            {
              "Program": "Off"
            },
            {
              "OverruleTime": ""
            },
            {
              "EcoSave": "False"
            }
          ],
          "PropertyDefinitions": [
            ...
          ]
        },

The thermostats are also exposed in Home Assistant. See the attached image.

Hi, yes I know, I had Digital blacks before. But I replaced them with this product because these have Temperature & Humidity. And I thought that in die API documentation the Humidity was supported. But I don't believe it is already supported in this add-on. I will look up the specific chapter in the documentation tomorrow.

@brett1996 the humidity is not exposed. The exposed Properties are:

{
          "Uuid": "XXX",
          "Identifier": "XXX",
          "Model": "virtual",
          "Online": "True",
          "Name": "Schakelaar slaapkamer 2",
          "Technology": "nikohomecontrol",
          "Type": "thermostat",
          "Traits": [],
          "Parameters": [
            ...
          ],
          "Properties": [
            {
              "OverruleActive": "False"
            },
            {
              "SetpointTemperature": "7.00"
            },
            {
              "Demand": "None"
            },
            {
              "AmbientTemperature": "23.50"
            },
            {
              "OverruleSetpoint": ""
            },
            {
              "Program": "Off"
            },
            {
              "OverruleTime": ""
            },
            {
              "EcoSave": "False"
            }
          ],
          "PropertyDefinitions": [
            ...
          ]
        },

Humidity is not present. You could try to contact Niko Support and ask them to add it in a future version.
