"Beep" Sound and a nice card

[PskNorz]

Τhe dehumidifier itself makes a sound every time you press on buttons as a confirmation so I think it would make sense to also have it make the sound when you control if via HA. So you know when you change an option from HA that it actually happened

Also it would be nice if we can control the humidifier from a card that has all the control in it, toogle on/off, modes, fan speeds... all in one place.

Beep sound is hopefully coming in 0.5.0.

[nbogojevic]

@PskNorz v0.5.0 is out, can you test if beep sound works (it is controlled by a switch which is disabled by default)

Perfect! If hymidifier goes unavaible and turn again avaible it will go off?

[nbogojevic]

Probably, I have not tested, and I don't really have an option to check it simply in the code without some refactoring.

[PskNorz]

Ok then, what about the card idea?

[nbogojevic]

I think that one will have either to wait someone else, or some other time, don't think I'll have time soon to look into that.

Nice much better support than the others, i did not know it could also report temperature.

About the Lovelace card :
Im currently in the process of modifying the default humidifier card to add support for all the options,
i've added the mode control with icons (Set, dry, smart, continuons)
it display the current humidity and i plan on adding support for controlling the fan, a tank full indicator, filter indicator....
I'll post a few screenshots if anyone is interested.

Nice, it would be nice to control the humidifier from one place. I will wait for your card 😎

[sicknesz]

First : sorry if this feel like im hijacking the conversation, i just though as it was asked in the issue i would let people know from here, i most likely will open my own repo and link it, sorry again.

Update on the card, what's working so far and how does it looks :

All mode, fan mode + humidity settings + sensor values displayed (humidity and temperature)

TODO:

• tank full icon/feedback
• change air filter icon/feedback
• defrosting icon/feedback
• ion toggle from the card

If you have any idea of something i may have missed feel free to tell me :)

hola, puede pasarme el codigo de la tarjeta, me gusta bastante y soy un poco torpe para homeassistant

[PskNorz]

This is what I am looking sooooo long it’s what I want!

can add power on/off option?

[sicknesz]

Done :

[PskNorz]

Waiting to share it 😎

[sicknesz]

I'll try releasing it in the next few days.

[MiguelCosta]

Just to share my lovelace card: https://github.com/MiguelCosta/Dehumidifier_Comfee_Card

[sicknesz]

I'm fixing the last bug i have then i'll release it, btw MiguelCosta your card is georgous, i'm not sure mine is gonna be of much use after seeing yours but i'll do it as soon as i've fixed that damn bug anyway :)

[gsportelli]

Done :

Hi sicknesz, thanks for your work!! And thanks nbogojevic for this great integration!

Here below some possible improvements for the card:

• Since you added the power button (nice idea!), maybe the "Set" mode (first switch on the top left) is not needed anymore. Indeed, in the official app there are toggles only for "Smart", "Continuous" and "Dry" modes.
• The "Smart" mode icon could be something related to mdi: "idea" or "lightbulb", e.g., "mdi:head-lightbulb-outline"
• The "Continous" mode icon could be related to mdi: "repeat" or "update" or "renew", e.g., "mdi:autorenew"
• In the HA standard thermostat card, the actual temperature is shown big, and the target one is below it and smaller, I see that in your card the actual humidity is shown small and the target is shown bit. Maybe having them swapped would be more consistent in a lovelace dashboard.

[sicknesz]

Hello gsportelli,
i originally had the current and target swapped like the thermostat card but it felt a bit weird not to have the big value change when dragging the slider around, so i swapped them, but after reading your post, I've added an options to swap them back so everyone can choose how the card will display stuff so

1. it is kinda needed cause unselecting all modes won't cause the applicance to fallback to "set" as the physical buttons does
2. Totally agree with this, updated in the next commit
3. I've already changed the continuous to AutoRenew but havent posted the lastest screenshot yet
4. now swappable using a yaml option : swap_target_and_current_humidity: true

Lastly, i've fixed the NaN NaN rendering bug, i still have on some occasion when the appliance is off it misses the power status and fan mode on the first render but it's fixed as soon as any state change is triggered.

I still have to test the installations instructions, and what will happens if one does not provide all the entities needed by the card, I'll do my best to release it before monday when i should get back to my daily job.

Latest screenshots :
Swapped current and target :

Classic display (non-swapped)

PS : @nbogojevic : i have the Inventor EVA ΙΟΝ Pro Wi-Fi 16L version, if you wanna add it to the supported applicances list confirming that's its been tested and working.

[sicknesz]

Hello guys, sorry for being late, here is the first release of the card : Midea humidifier card
Normally it should auto-configure itself properly when first added to lovelace but in case if fails the card editor is working properly and you should be able to configure it using the UI, if everything fails the yaml sample code and options are all explained in the repo's README.

I had not much time to test it lately but all fonctionnality has been tested and working on my Home assistant, i hope you don't encounter troubles using it.

Edit : I renamed the repo (it's a requirement to be eligible for HACS, i'll try to have it published to easier updates)

PS : On the latest release 1.0.4 i also added the missing ion_entity to the card's editor

[nbogojevic]

@sicknesz @MiguelCosta I've published new BETA version (v0.6.0-beta), can you check if there are issues with your cards? You can see more in #32

[nbogojevic]

Replace filter should only be available if device announces it is supported. I think I'll add an attribute for the dehumidifier to expose appliances capabilities.

[nbogojevic]

I've published updated version v0.6.0-beta which also publishes device capabilities. They can be found under Developer Tools,

and then under entity of dehumidifier:

Can you paste here the content of capabilities attribute?

[MiguelCosta]

I have the same values as you 🙂

[nbogojevic]

So in that case, no filter sensor 😭 the appliances that have replace filter indicator would have 'filter': 1 in capabilities.

[MiguelCosta]

no problem 🙂

I already removed from my card. Thanks

Hello, I have tested the beta version 0.6 and I can tell you that it works no matter how I install the devices.
My problem is that one or the other device suddenly logs off.
One device is a Midea with 056004051538 firmware and an inventor device with the same firmware. The other two devices already have the 3.0.8 firmware.
I am now using the 0.5 software again.

[Bimboboy007]

I'm not quite sure, maybe it's also a network problem, the two devices that keep saying goodbye to a Devolo Powerlan wlan.

[nbogojevic]

@Bimboboy007 I've updated beta version and it should be more resilient now. Integration tries 5 times over 10 seconds and if each fails, it considered device offline. I'll now added on top, that this has to repeat on each attempt during 5 minutes (configurable). Can you see if it is more stable now.

[nbogojevic]

I've updated v0.6.0-beta with fix. BTW it would have fixed itself when first 2022.x comes out (there is corner case condition in 2021.12 which creates stack overflow).

[Bimboboy007]

Hello, does the fan entity work again now?

[nbogojevic]

Yes it is fixed in both v0.6.0-beta and in v0.6.0 that is now published.

[Bimboboy007]

Great they are the best. Have you already read this post?

Hi guys. I recently bought a “Inventor EVA ION PRO WiFi”, after research a bit I discovered that it works with the SmartLife app and using the LocalTuya integration it’s possible to connect it to Home Assitant.

To use this integration it’s just necessary to obtain the LocalSecret of the dehumidifier by this method 2 and after that configurate every field that the device provides.

To make easier this configuration, I have created a sheet with the fields, type, name and also mapping in case you need to translate them. Here it is 2, hope it is useful.

Yes, new EVA Ion's are now using Tuya - based logic and no longer Midea's cloud. It's mentioned in Known issues in readme.

[voodoopt]

there is a possibility to integrate the turning off of the LED and the BEEP sound of the air conditioners ?
I can do it with the remote control
