Service Netatmo

Well, once again, thank you @VonOx! Indeed, I was on an old page that was not modifiable ^^ Apparently, it’s okay to modify, but apparently, it’s not now:

So I don’t really understand how to start the documentation regarding the previous quote:

The Airtable table is just for listing the tested hardware with Gladys
It allows generating this page → Integrations | Gladys Assistant

For the actual documentation, it’s on the site’s repository

@pierre-gilles is it normal that the EN page is not complete? (compared to Airtable)

Ok, indeed if I don’t read the instructions as they should be… that’s exactly what it means… sorry, once again.

Thanks again. I was able to make good progress as a result ^^

The Airtable list is just a source (easier than writing in JSON files) that needs to be imported into the JSON files for the website page to be up to date. I tried to do an import at the beginning of the year, but the site literally exploded after that, and I haven’t had time to look into it since :slight_smile:

If someone wants to take a look…

Doc Netatmo in progress - French version 80% - English version in progress

I tested the service:

  • added the same camera to the dashboard multiple times
  • connected a camera to another internet network
  • opened multiple tabs
  • connected/disconnected multiple times
  • added all my valves and thermostat

I had no issues.

Evolution:

  • have the camera view in a larger size when clicking on the box (in a pop-up window or other) not just for the Netatmo camera
  • be able to set the camera refresh time

Planned for the future:

  • set a target temperature without going through the Netatmo application

Edit: it is not possible to change the display order of the features in the boxes

Hello,

That’s the main thing and I’m really glad everything went well :slight_smile: We took the time to test to have that exactly :slight_smile:

For the evolutions:

  • The camera view is not related to Netatmo. We use the same view as the « standard » cameras, you need to create an issue on GitHub for all cameras :slight_smile:
  • The refresh rate is a bit complicated, to be validated with @Terdious but if we make too many requests we get 403 (not authorized). However, Netatmo cameras detect presence I think, so it sends an event that we can retrieve :slight_smile:
  • The display order is the same, it’s more for all services not just Netatmo, you can also create an issue :slight_smile:

And the next step is indeed the set temperature / events (events when you change the temperature via the application or automatically).

Thank you very much for your feedback!

Is this a good idea?

It would be great because I wanted to put the battery at the bottom of the box but it’s impossible.

Yes, once the PR is merged, this will be the first evolution we will bring. But as @damalgos says, we will need thorough testing to avoid falling back into this 403 error.
For the operation, the image sent by Netatmo when there is no detection is only recorded every minute. So even if we set it to 10s, if there is no detection, the image remains the same. However, we can use the events to retrieve it more frequently. It’s an extra piece of code to be developed on the side.
In the future, there will be no need for this as we will operate with webhooks. But we need to look into it as we don’t know about it at the moment.

Yes, why wouldn’t it be? :smiley:
You have a camera, whether it’s from Netatmo or any other manufacturer. You just want an image, so it’s best to have a single dashboard for all images. That way, if you want to improve the camera view, you only improve one dashboard and not all the services.

Yes, this is not related to Netatmo but to Gladys in general :slight_smile: But you’re right, it can be useful.

So for that, yes of course, for the moment you can manage otherwise. You delete the features of your box and you select them in the desired order. It works for me.

I don’t have all good ideas!!

I tried it on the test version but I didn’t succeed.

Ok, I just tested it, on the test and the prod… my bad, I was misled by the fact that I separated them into different boxes ^^ Indeed, you are right, we will have to go through an issue, sorry ^^

One more small request if you can, could you download the PR I made for the Netatmo documentation, and check in English and French if it seems good to you based on your experience?

If it’s a hassle for you, I can try to make some screenshots.

@pierre-gilles,

When would you be available for a real test?

I looked at the French documentation, it’s fine, I didn’t see anything special.

Perhaps add at the end that you can edit the device and change the name of the feature.

Thank you so much for your feedback and for your time.

Yes, I am currently finishing the editing part (especially for the weather station/anemometer where you can change the wind angle in degrees or cardinal points)

Monday all day, or evening if you’re not available during the day :slight_smile:

Perfect for me in the evening, the pro closes at 6 PM this Monday. Let me know as soon as you’re available.

Would 6:00 PM work for you then?

The best time for me would be 6:00 PM, otherwise in the evening works too :slight_smile:
