Binary sensors for hotWater / Heating status? about remeha_home HOT 6 CLOSED

@lierenaar You should be able to get this information from the climate entity, but I'm thinking about adding an additional binary sensor for this.

@zjuul You are looking at the HVAC mode, which is the current mode of the thermostat. Either auto, fixed temperature (heat) or off. You should be looking at the HVAC action. You probably want a state trigger something like this:

platform: state
entity_id:
  - climate.woonkamer
attribute: hvac_action
from: idle
to: heating

Another option is to wait for the next version, where I will add the binary sensor for this.

In versions v0.1.10 and v0.1.11 I have added binary sensors for climate zone heating active and hot water heating active. These sensors are disabled by default, but can be enabled when you want to use them.

I think this solves all of the feature requests, therefore I'm closing the issue. If there is anything else that you would like to have please let me know.

I have added a sensor for the hot water zone status. This sensor currently directly displays the state as reported by the API, but I can possibly change it to a binary sensor in the future.

You should be able to extract the burner state for heating from the climate entity, but if that is not possible I can also add in a binary sensor for that.

See v0.1.9.

Hi msvisser,

Thanks for the super fast action!
I've tested 0.1.9 just now and can confirm the API burner state for hot water is now displayed!
I can definitely extract a binary sensor for both burner states, but maybe it can be helpful for others.
Thanks again for your hard work!

Great work msvisser,
I’m really happy with this integration. Is there a status flag that indicates that the boiler is on for heating up the rooms? I only wants to switch on the pumps when there is production.
Thanks in advance

So.. I'm seeing the CIRCA entity current temperature, target temperature, and that it is heating or idle.

Now.. I cannot get my automation to trigger. Am I using the correct entity/type/to combination?

Ultimate goal is to use this trigger to activate / deactivate the floor heating pump.

trigger:
  - platform: device
    device_id: REDACTED
    domain: climate
    entity_id: climate.circa
    type: hvac_mode_changed
    to: heat
