Having appliances suitable for heating

It would be nice to have devices adapted for heating rather than using lights to turn on a radiator.
This would prevent Assistant commands from turning off the heating when you ask to turn off the lights.

It would also be good to have selectors for the desired heating modes (Comfort, Eco, Frost Protection, Off) or for situations (Vacation, Working from home, Public Holidays…)
This would avoid having to create a multitude of scenes composed of numerous conditions.

Great idea!

Hi @gaetanb76, @cicoub13 had started a PR in August regarding heating (feat(z2m): Add pilot wire mode by cicoub13 · Pull Request #2110 · GladysAssistant/Gladys · GitHub), it was originally for Zigbee2mqtt pilot-wire (fil pilote) devices but it would apparently add a heating feature usable everywhere in Gladys (e.g.: MQTT integration)

@cicoub13 any news on this PR? :slight_smile:

I need someone to test the image in real life. Otherwise, we’ll integrate this without a real test :person_shrugging:

Which Zigbee device do you need to test?

Hi, that interests me because I’m going to install some small Zigbee pilot-wire devices on my radiators today.

hi @cicoub13, if you want I have a QUBINO - Pilot Wire Module in Z-Wave
for testing

One of these four if we want to test the Zigbee part (Zigbee2MQTT). But it needs to be plugged into the mains and I don’t have the time/skills to do that right now :neutral_face:
It would be simpler if someone with an existing setup could test the image here Module "fil pilote" chauffage zigbee2mqtt - #7 par cicoub13

Unfortunately, I don’t know the Z-Wave part and don’t know if it will be compatible :thinking:

Personally I have the Zigbee Nodon sin 4 FP 21 modules

which are partially recognized in Gladys but fully in MQTT.

@Prof_Techno if you ever think you have the skills to help us, here’s a little tutorial to test @cicoub13’s build:

so I’m willing to give it a try because for now my installation

So it’s installed

unfortunately I’m not sure it works

I don’t know if I missed a step or not

the container seems to be there

it’s finding something

Hello,

I also saw the message for the « coordinator » integration appear without knowing which device might be affected by it.

I only have Z-Wave for my heating…

That’s right, thanks for the test.

  • Can you remind me of the model of your pilot wire device?

  • Is your device present in the zigbee2mqtt interface (the one on port 8080)?

  • Is your device not already added in Gladys?
    You can see it by checking « Hide already added devices »

  • And can you provide the recent logs related to Zigbee?

docker logs gladys-fil-pilote 2\u003e\u00261 | grep \"zigbee\"

so

  1. Nodon SIN-4 FP 21 model
  1. on the new Gladys I can’t find it even though I had it on my previous installation

  2. I already tested that and unfortunately no

there you go, if there are any other steps to take don’t hesitate to ask

And in the new Gladys image, you recreated a zigbee2mqtt installation. In that case you need to re-pair your device if you haven’t done so.

I tried but it doesn’t show up and I don’t know what to do, even though I had it in the other docker.

I don’t know if I recreated a zigbeetomqtt, but in any case everything was empty and when I tried to put the pilot wire back only the coordinator showed up in gladys and nothing in zigbeetomqtt. So I added a window sensor to see if it worked and it showed up.

I’m watching
