Wiser Home Assistant Platform (v1.2)

This repository contains a Home Assistant component + platforms, for the Drayton Wiser Heating solution.

This component provides the following functionality -Climate platforms - List of climate entities for each Room. The state is the current temperature and the target temperature.

• Sensor Platforms
  • Each TRV is representated by a Sensor. The sensor attributes include extensive information about the device, such as WIFI Signal strength, firmware version, battery levels etc
  • Heathub displayed as a sensor, firmware version etc
  • Smartplug displayed as a sensor, firmware etc
  • Room Thermostats displayed as sensors
    • Additonal attributes include battery levels, humidity etc
  • Drayton Wiser Cloud Status
    • Nice to be able to have automation when things aren't working
  • Heating Relay status
    • Nice to know when the heating is on/off. This is nice to use in conjunction with the Climate platform when graphing data using grafana
  • Hot Water relay status
    • Nice to know when the hot water is on/off.
  • Full access to the JSON payload from the HeatHub, for those things I didn't think of...
  • Support for Heathubs with No Hot Water Control (added 1.1)
  • Support for Home/Away Sensor (added v1.1)

Currently the Component/Platform is read only, I do plan to add the ability to set the setpoints in the near future

Installation

1. Find your HeatHub Secret key

Reference https://it.knightnet.org.uk/kb/nr-qa/drayton-wiser-heating-control/#controlling-the-system

1. Press the setup button on your HeatHub, the light will start flashing Look for the Wi-Fi network (SSID) called ‘WiserHeatXXX’ where XXX is random

2. Connect to the network from a Windows/Linux/Mac machine

3. Execute the secret url :-)

   • For Windows use Invoke-RestMethod -Method Get -UseBasicParsing -Uri http://192.168.8.1/secret/
   • For Linux (or Windows WSL) use curl http://192.168.8.1/secret

   This will return a string which is your system secret

4. Press the setup button on the HeatHub again and it will go back to normal operations

5. Copy the secret and save it somewhere.

3. Find Your HEATHUB IP

Using your router, or something else, identify the IP address of your HeatHub, it usually identifies itself as the same ID as the WiserHeatXXXXXX

3. Create a custom_components directory within your Home Assistant directory

For components which arent part of the official release yet (i said yet) you can put them into a directory called custom components

4. Copy files

From github to your Home Assistant custom_components directory. Easiest way is to issue a git clone to your local directory and then copy all the files to the custom_components directory e.g. git clone [email protected]:asantaga/wiserHomeAssistantPlatform.git

This will usually create a directory called "wiserHomeAssistantPlatform", copy all the files in this directory to your custom_components directory.

5. Add references to Home Assistant Configuration.yaml file

Here is a sample config, replace the HEATHUB AND PASSWORD appropriately.

wiser:
  host: <ENTER YOUR HEATHUB IP HERE>
  password: <ENTER YOUR SECRET TOKEN, OBTAINED FROM STEP THREE HERE>
  scan_interval: 300
  minimum: -5

I don't recommend you set the scan_interval too low, after all temperatures do not change that often and 300 seconds(5mins) is probably plenty. minimum is the bottom minimum temperature to be recorded, the default is -5

6. Run, Play and let me know if there are any bugs, enhancements etc via the github issues system

Special thanks for contributors Thanks!
