Tado module?

OK, the readme is there now, hope it makes sense.

Its by no means perfect, and still want to try and automated the homeid if I can, and add an icon for on or off but have yet to work out which result that actually is ;)
-
@charliwest great job. Works well. Thanks.
Once you’ve got the icons working for heating on etc, it would be great it there was a house icon at the beginning - I suppose it makes it obvious then it’s the temperature of inside your home.
Love it.
-
@charliwest also, just noticed that when Tado is off, the module doesn’t update at all. Just stays the same as the last recorded reading. If the module is restarted and Tadl is off, the is just says ‘loading’
-
off as in not heating or as in powered off?
-
@charliwest off as in set heating to
Manually off. (Ignore current and target temperature)Current output on api is
{“tadoMode”:“HOME”,“geolocationOverride”:false,“geolocationOverrideDisableTime”:null,“preparation”:null,“setting”:{“type”:“HEATING”,“power”:“OFF”,“temperature”:null},“overlayType”:“MANUAL”,“overlay”
-
OK I see the problem
“type”:“HEATING”,“power”:“OFF”,“temperature”:null
vs
“type”:“HEATING”,“power”:“ON”,“temperature”:{“celsius”:22,“fahrenheit”:71.6}
So it tries to read celsius but its not there. Will look into how to fix that, while we also change celsius to be a variable for metric or imperial as well. -
@charliwest hi. Also I noticed that sometimes it doesn’t update. This morning woke up and it was still showing a reading from about 8pm the night before. Not an isolated occasion as it happened before but figured it was a one off. Might be my setup though.
-
hmm, ok, we did some updates today. Should deal with the NULL, C or F now. It also now gets the homeid for you, and the zone is assumed to be 1.
Neither of us have actually yet to set up a MagicMirror, looking for glass and a monitor now to do a couple so don’t have this running apart from when we work on it at the moment.
The update frequency was also changed, so far I assume the api doesnt have a limit on calls, but we only call it every 5mins
-
@charliwest Hi. I’ve updated everything. Home icon looks great. Just tested it and It still doesn’t know how to handle when my heating is Manually off. The module just reports as ‘Loading’
-
@charliwest when I first set up my mirror I didn’t have a monitor either for the first month. I think I just left it running without a
Monitor connected and then used another pc on the same network to see output using ipaddressofpi:8080
