New video: Jerome manages his presence with a Bluetooth keychain 📺

Hello everyone!

And here’s a new Gladys Assistant video for you, this time with @jerome who presents his Gladys installation :slight_smile:

His setup is interesting:

  • A tank whose level is monitored by Gladys
  • Presence management with Bluetooth, native to Gladys
  • Node-RED for Xiaomi, RFLink, and the Mapbox API like @cicoub13

The video is available here:

Thanks @jerome for your time :folded_hands:

PS: As a reminder, Gladys Plus is at -50% for 1 year: Offre limitée : Gladys Plus à -50% pendant 1 an ! 🤩

Thanks @jerome for sharing.

Remember that you have a scenes category to explain your scenes and give ideas to other users, even the most basic ones.

@jerome I also had the issue of negative values with the ultrasonic sensor.

You need to take multiple measurements and verify before publishing to MQTT.

Top video @jerome!!

For your heating, I also looked into Muller Intuitiv for my 3 electric heaters, knowing that I am already using Netatmo for all my boiler heating. Unfortunately, they have not yet integrated the Netatmo API, however under Jeedom they managed to reverse engineer the app and they developed a module. This might allow you to retrieve the information under Node-RED:

Jeedom GitHub module
Interesting file from the Jeedom module

As I don’t have any yet, I can’t test it!!

I will add time units to the PR that adds the units

@Tlse-vins As soon as I have some time, I’ll see about explaining my different scenes. This could indeed be helpful to the community.

@VonOx Yes, I need to work on my program again to avoid negative values.
If you can add time units, that would be great :+1:

@Terdious Thanks for the info, I’ll take a look.

@Terdious, I had looked at the Netatmo solution when they released it, but it requires compatible radiators.
For heating control, there are also Z-wave micromodules with 1 or 2 relays

This avoids replacing the radiators.

For my part, I use these ZWave modules for all my electric heaters, I’m quite happy with them, except for my bank account…

Yes, I had seen that, that’s why I haven’t invested yet ^^ but as it’s not my central heating (just a backup when I’m too lazy to make a fire in the boiler :sweat_smile:) it’s currently old toasters… so I’ll still have to pay…

REX: Boiler breakdown during the 2021 end-of-year holidays => full electric toaster => need to manage the priority oven/heating (18kVA Three-phase yet ^^) => electricity bill of 250 for 2 weeks :sweat_smile: !!

Nice video @jerome, it makes me want to boost my installation.
I borrowed the icons that I found very visual for choosing the dashboard :wink:
Otherwise, I was wondering about your presence detection scene, what is the point of scanning every 5 minutes when your action only occurs at the end (after 15 minutes)?
Do the intermediate checks only serve to interrupt the scene?
I set up a detection scene but it only rescans after 15 minutes, if still absent → action.

I also picked up on the idea of icons for the dashboard. Thanks @jerome for the idea

Hi @tiboys, @_Will_71

I found it more visually appealing. All ideas are welcome.

Regarding the scene, the 1st step was indeed useless. Before, I used to ask it to check every 5 minutes if I was present, and if after 15 minutes I wasn’t, then I was absent.

I just switched to Gladys Plus and with owntracks I just changed my scenes :joy:

Hi @jerome, which node did you integrate into Node-RED to manage your Xiaomi gateway?
And if you have any documentation links I’d appreciate them.
Thanks.

Hi @bjm

the library to use is this one: node-red-contrib-xiaomi-smart-devices

then the gateway node — for info, click on the Help book.

Otherwise, don’t hesitate to ask on the forum

Hello @bjm
I made a tutorial about it :
[NODE-RED]Piloter la Gateway Xiaomi chinoise.
Everything should be in there normally :slightly_smiling_face:

Yes, everything is perfectly detailed too :ok_hand:
