Tado module?

[krisalexroberts]

Has anyone been able to look at this yet?

[krisalexroberts]

There is a tado API, but I don’t know how to use this to display data on the MagicMirror

https://my.tado.com/mobile/1.9/getCurrentState?username=xxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxx.xxx&password=yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
I guess in its simplest form, we just need a module which connects to the above URL and then pulls information based on specific strings. eg: “insideTemp”:20.61

I can do this in Python… not Javascript though

Example of output

{“success”:true,“operation”:“HOME”,“preheating”:false,“preheatingTargetOperation”:null,“autoOperation”:“HOME”,“operationTrigger”:“SYSTEM”,“insideTemp”:20.61,“setPointTemp”:20.8,“controlPhase”:“STEADY”,“currentUserPrivacyEnabled”:false,“currentUserGeoStale”:null,“deviceUpdating”:false,“homeId”:xxx,“heatingOn”:true,“internetGatewayType”:“GW02”,“internetGatewayConnected”:true,“heatingMuscleType”:“BU01”,“heatingMuscleConnected”:true,“insideTemperatureSensorType”:“RU01”,“insideTemperatureSensorConnected”:true,“settingsEnabled”:true,“fallbackOperation”:false,“helpUrl”:“https://support.tado.com/hc/","pendingDeviceInstallation”:false}

I think the following variables would be quite useful.

Insidetemp - displayed as a number
setPointTemp - displayed as a number
heatingon - displayed as an flame icon if set to true

Maybe like this

21.3° / 15.2° /

Where the first temp in bold is current temp, the next is the trigger temperature (ie when the heating would come on) Would anyone else add anything different?

Perhaps mode might be useful as well, as an icon which is held in variable autoOperation. I think the different options here are HOME, AWAY, MANUAL, and the other one for nighttime (not sure what this is called)

I tweaked the bash script to the api @krisalexroberts suggested as it takes a lot less to do it, and at @dinkybluebug245’s suggestion added the extra readings…although not sure how the pi will read the hex values? But it works on mac

USERNAME=you@your.email
PASSWORD=yourPassword
curl --silent “https://my.tado.com/mobile/1.9/getCurrentState?username=“$USERNAME”&password=“$PASSWORD”” > temp
insideTemp=$(grep -o “insideTemp." temp| awk ‘{print substr($1,13,4)}’)
setPointTemp=$(grep -o "setPointTemp.” temp| awk ‘{print substr($1,15,4)}’)
heatingOn=$(if grep -q “"heatingOn":true” temp; then
echo ‘\xf0\x9f\x94\xa5’
else
echo ‘\xf0\x9f\x9a\xab’
fi)
echo “$insideTemp” / “$setPointTemp” / “$heatingOn”

@charliwest - so how does this all get written up as a magic mirror module? do you know?

[charliwest]

Yeah no idea about nodejs stuff, spoke to a friend today who is hoping to build a magicmirror (I still havent had time to set mine up at all). He is keen to have a look at this with me. We will hopefully sit down over a couple of beers next week and see if we can bash something out.
Anyone else who already knows more about modules happy for them to take the above and make it work…
@dinkybluebug245 did you test the above, even though only a bash script, still pretty cool

@charliwest I would have some sparetime tonight, therefore I could help out if someone with a tado acc would like to join me

[krisalexroberts]

@strawberry-3.141 i have availability tonight

[dinkybluebug245]

@strawberry-3-141 - Hello - I can help over the weekend, and next week - evenings this week Im busy

[strawberry 3.141]

would be great to get someone with other devices than a heating unit

[dinkybluebug245]

@strawberry-3.141 can’t help with that. But if you need some else to test tado heating api. I can help.

[krisalexroberts]

@strawberry-3.141 I’ll be getting radiator thermostats in the next few weeks but no cooling

@charliwest This didnt work for me…

I got this error:

tado.sh: line 5: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"’
tado.sh: line 12: syntax error: unexpected end of file

the contents of tado.sh, is:

USERNAME=xxx
PASSWORD=xxxx
curl --silent “https://my.tado.com/mobile/1.9/getCurrentState?username=“$USERNAME”&password=“$PASSWORD”” > temp
insideTemp=$(grep -o “insideTemp." temp| awk ‘{print substr($1,13,4)}’)
setPointTemp=$(grep -o "setPointTemp.” temp| awk ‘{print substr($1,15,4)}’)
heatingOn=$(if grep -q ““heatingOn”:true” temp; then
echo '\xf0\x9f\x94\xa5’
else
echo '\xf0\x9f\x9a\xab’
fi)
echo “$insideTemp” / “$setPointTemp” / “$heatingOn”

[charliwest]

@dinkybluebug245 probably a cut and paste error with the ticks, try from here https://github.com/charliwest/random_scripts/blob/master/tado2

[dinkybluebug245]

@charliwest Thanks for the response, I get a different error now,

grep: temp: No such file or directory
grep: temp: No such file or directory
tado.sh: command substitution: line 16: syntax error near unexpected token fi' 'ado.sh: command substitution: line 16: fi)
/

[charliwest]

@dinkybluebug245 there shouldn’t be a line 16, can you double check the file u made is correct. Where are you running the script from? Also it says something about ado.sh … not sure what that’s referring to?

[dinkybluebug245]

@charliwest Yes you’re right… file wasnt created correctly.

output now is

20.5 / 10," / \xf0\x9f\x9a\xab

seems to work, but your comment on how the pi would deal with hex values was right, and because the second value only has two digits (10) Im assuming this is why its picking up the characters ,"

[charliwest]

So here is the first attempt https://github.com/olipayne/MMM-Tado-ThermoStats
Works pretty well but still need some work

[dinkybluebug245]

@charliwest this looks awesome. What variable is the tado home number?

[charliwest]

@dinkybluebug245 I’ll write a readme for it tomorrow, but basically if you manually run my original tado.sh in each step you will get the answers. If you need more into it will be there when the readme is ready ;)
