How to test new devices via yaml ?

[malosaa]

Hi all,

i would like to contribute new devices, as you already seen before.

There is an issue i really don't understand.
When i add a new device its asking me what type of device it is, well i can choose from 3 and all 3 do not match.
however i did create the accoring the documentation and put it in the directory with all the needed data, but it does not detect it.

For now i did do a work around, for example, i want to add my pet water fountain, it detects device type heater, so what i did was when selecting and before pressing submit, i went to that yaml of that specific heater device and past my code and save it, and then press submit, and it added my device normally and working, but i know this is not the way to test.

can someone say what i'm doing wrong ?
I have 4 more configs pending to be added, and even more devices.

regards

The local protocol data is normally not 100% according to the documentation. That is why the first thing requested in the new device template is local logs, to see what the actual data received from the device is. Frequently there will only be partial data returned on initial connection, and you will need to make all the other dps optional in order for your config to match.

yes i did that, look here

i did some research and here i will post the issue again, my dps are correct
when i use this config its not detected.

the one it almost matches is the sprinkler, when exmam the code its almost identical with the dps so it should match. but it doesnt.

i did some more debugging and this one is weird:

so when adding this it detects during adding:

name: Hydrate Ultra
products:
  - id: cuw2k3ho3e25fade  

primary_entity:
  entity: switch
  icon: "mdi:water-pump"
  dps:
    - id: 101
      type: boolean
      name: switch

when adding this it does not detect...

name: Hydrate Ultra
products:
  - id: cuw2k3ho3e25fade  

primary_entity:
  entity: switch
  icon: "mdi:water-pump"
  dps:
    - id: 101
      type: boolean
      name: switch
secondary_entities:
  - entity: light
    name: Led light
    icon: "mdi:brightness-6"
    category: config
    dps:
      - id: 102
        type: boolean
        name: switch
        icon: "mdi:brightness-6"
      - id: 103
        name: Led brightness
        type: integer
        range:
          min: 1
          max: 10

when changing that secondary_entities: to the one from the sprinkler it get detected:

name: Hydrate Ultra
products:
  - id: cuw2k3ho3e25fade  

primary_entity:
  entity: switch
  icon: "mdi:water-pump"
  dps:
    - id: 101

          min: 0
          max: 100
        mapping:
          - step: 5

whats going on here ? i'm confused...

[make-all]

Look at your log message above. DP 102 has the value 1, which is an integer, not a boolean.

[malosaa]

You right!

I did not see that, i did fix the whole code and now i understand how it works.
I will update my first submitted code according to my fix.

I idid also an other error, i used the button entity as a binary sensor as well, now it works.

[malosaa]

i fixed my code now
