Gladys Assistant 4.38: Netatmo weather station + Z-Wave sensors + Make bulb blink

[pierre-gilles]

Hi everyone!

It’s Monday, and it’s time for a new Gladys release

On the agenda today:

Netatmo Weather Station

Once again @Terdious strikes big with support for new Netatmo devices

Some screenshots of the new supported devices:

Z-WaveJS - New sensors

@Sescandell added the ability to retrieve temperature sensors in Gladys, as well as the power of an outlet.

@_Will_71 added the ability to display the « location » of a Z-Wave device in Gladys to better distinguish your Z-Wave devices.

Make a light blink

@cicoub13 worked on the ability to make lights blink in scenes!

Useful for scaring off thieves in case of an intrusion!!

Improved display for motion sensors

Motion sensors are now displayed more clearly:

When detection occurs, the duration is replaced by a small blue « motion detected » block, which makes the interface easier to understand.

Some code fixes

We thank @AlexTrovato who worked on some fixes invisible to the user, but which contribute to the code quality.

Thanks for these changes which are just as important as features

The full CHANGELOG is available here.

How to update?

If you installed Gladys with the official Raspberry Pi OS image, your instances will update automatically in the coming hours. It can take up to 24h, don’t panic.

If you installed Gladys with Docker, make sure you’re using Watchtower (See the documentation )

v4.38 has been deployed on my side for a few minutes… Two clicks and all my Netatmo weather station data are available in Gladys! It’s so great, the simplicity
Thanks @Terdious and @pierre-gilles

And it couldn’t have come at a better time since until now I was relying on a Node-RED flow to fetch this data (from this page) which broke down… last night! (probably due to Netatmo’s change of authentication mode that was announced for Feb 29, I didn’t have time to check…)

Anyway, perfect

[pierre-gilles]

It’s great to read that!!

Enjoy it, and don’t hesitate to create a dedicated thread if you have any feedback on the integration (bugs, inconsistencies, or even if everything’s fine and you want to share your setup )

I’m getting errors like this

Oops!! I didn’t change the documentation title
I’ll open a PR for you as quickly as possible!

Motion sensors are now displayed more clearly

Thank you @cicoub13 for the development.

I’m having a lot of fun with Gladys thanks to the training from @pierre-gilles and I admit I hadn’t returned to the site for a while, but the documentation is top-notch.

Many thanks for this Netatmo integration. I took the plunge and bought the weather station. However, I think I’ve found a bug.

In a dashboard, if I use the widget « room temperature » and select the terrace where the outdoor station is located, the temperature displayed is not the outside one, but I imagine one of the other two. However, the value doesn’t really correspond to a minimum or a maximum either; it’s as if it’s an average or a median value, strangely.

Below you can see the discrepancy between the temperature reported by OpenWeather and that of the main terrace.

12°4 doesn’t make any sense.

I add a screenshot of the Netatmo app at the same moment:

For the living room temperature corresponding to the indoor module, I also consistently see a discrepancy compared to what’s shown by the native Netatmo app. In short, I wonder if the widget is returning the correct value for the weather station.

Another surprising detail: I realize that my phone and my iPad do not display the same values on this Dashboard… is there any caching in the PWA app that could explain all these discrepancies? I installed the Netatmo station today and initially the external module showed 20° before I put it outside. Cached values could explain my strange readings and the discrepancies between devices.

[Terdious]

Hello @p6ril,

Regarding the room temperature widget, indeed it is the average of all devices reporting a recorded temperature in the same room, you can find the information you need in the documentation:

Afficher la température moyenne d'une pièce sur le tableau de bord | Gladys...

Do you have other devices that report a recorded temperature for the Terrace in Gladys?

To check you can go into the dashboard editor and select a « Room device » block which will allow you to verify all the devices / features of the Terrace room. Select all the features that correspond to a temperature, you should be able to find the devices that increase the averaged value easily.

Great, glad that you’re enjoying it If you think of any content I should cover in the training, tell me!

I second @Terdious on the temperature widget!

@p6ril

Another surprising detail: I notice that my phone and my iPad don’t display the same values on this Dashboard… is there caching in the PWA app that could explain all these mismatches?

If you leave the PWA and come back to it, on iOS the page is not reloaded and the old values remain — we had a thread about this recently:

Swipe down pour mettre à jour un dashboard Gladys sur smartphone

Bonsoir, J’accède assez souvent à Gladys depuis mon iPhone, que ce soit de chez moi ou de l’extérieur (via GladysPlus). Et je suis satisfait d’avoir accès à toute ma domotique de cette façon. Il y a juste un truc qui m’embête : les infos du dashboard ne se mettent pas à jour après une " veille ", et un " swipe down " (assez standard sur beaucoup de sites) est sans effet. Je précise le cas d’emploi : pour décrire un exemple concret : un capteur de température géré par Gladys et qui se met à …

I think we could do better than forcing the user to swipe down: detect the return to the PWA and reload each widget

Hello @Terdious,

My mistake, even in the Netatmo login panel it clearly states that it is an average temperature and I didn’t think to check the widget documentation… RTFM I’ll remember that in the future.

However, I confirm that I only have one device per room that provides a temperature.

On the terrace, I only have the outdoor module of the Netatmo weather station.

However, the module returns 3 temperature values according to the integration documentation (and I confirm when I check the integration in Gladys):

• the current temperature, as well as
• the min temperature over the last 24 hours and
• the max temperature over the last 24 hours.

In this case, it’s the current temperature that interests me and not the average with the min and max of the last 24 hours.
Having an average across multiple devices is fine, but it should be an average of the current temperature in that case. That’s what I would naturally expect

Also, I confirm that if I select the room’s device and then select the temperature I’m interested in (the current temperature), I do get the expected value.

Bonjour @pierre-gilles,

I hadn’t mentioned it, but indeed it’s an iPhone and an iPad and I did think of doing a swipe down, which didn’t have the expected effect. That seems to match the issue you mention.

Thanks.

[Terdious]

Aaahh !! But yes, in this case you’re right, the fact of having the min/max skews the average of this widget… maybe something to consider on this subject.
@pierre-gilles what do you think? Should we create a new ‹ type › of feature?
