Actions

Get device mode capabilities

As the below custom actions Full state and Climate react both require their inputs to match the API requirements precisely, this custom action will provide the capabilities for the device for a certain HVAC mode to help the users on using those actions properly.

Action configuration:

Proposed action use:

1. Go to Developer Tools.
2. Switch to the Actions page.
3. Use the sensibo.get_device_capabilities action.
4. Select the climate entity as the target.
5. Select the hvac_mode from the available list.
6. Select Perform action to retrieve the available options.
7. Copy the case-sensitive options as needed to other action calls, automations or scripts.

Set full state

You can send a full state command to Sensibo instead of single commands using the sensibo.full_state action.

Action configuration:

Assume state

An HVAC device often has a manual remote or other means of control which can put Sensibo out of sync with the HVAC device.

Use the sensibo.assume_state action to tell Sensibo if the HVAC device is currently on or off without sending a control to the actual device.

Action configuration:

Enable Pure Boost

You can configure your Pure Boost settings using the sensibo.enable_pure_boost action.

Action configuration:

Enable timer

You can enable a timer to turn the HVAC device on or off for a certain time, using the sensibo.enable_timer action that is provided.

Action configuration:

Enable Climate React

You can configure your Climate React settings using the sensibo.enable_climate_react action.

Action configuration:

Example full state:

on: true
fanLevel: "high"
temperatureUnit: "C"
targetTemperature: 23
mode: "cool"
swing: "fixedBottom"
horizontalSwing: "fixedLeft"
light: "on"

Examples

Template switch to turn HVAC device on or off

A simple switch which has heat or off as mode.

switch:
  - platform: template
    switches:
      ac:
        friendly_name: "AC"
        value_template: "{{ is_state('climate.ac', 'heat') }}"
        turn_on:
          action: climate.set_hvac_mode
          target:
            entity_id: climate.ac
          data:
            hvac_mode: "heat"
        turn_off:
          action: climate.set_hvac_mode
          target:
            entity_id: climate.ac
          data:
            hvac_mode: "off"

automation:
  alias: "Example timer"
  triggers:
    - trigger: zone
      entity_id: person.me
      zone: zone.home
      event: enter
  actions:
    - action: sensibo.enable_timer
      data:
        minutes: 30
      target:
        entity_id: climate.hvac_device

Set a full state of the HVAC device at 6pm

automation:
  alias: "Example full state"
  triggers:
    - trigger: time
      at: "18:00:00"
  actions:
    - action: sensibo.full_state
      data:

        target_temperature: 23
        fan_mode: "medium"
        swing_mode: "fixedMiddleTop"
        horizontal_swing_mode: "fixedCenter"
        light: "off"
      target:
        entity_id: climate.hvac_device

Data fetching and limitations

Data is polledData polling is the process of querying a device or service at regular intervals to check for updates or retrieve data. By defining a custom polling interval, you can control how frequently your system checks for new data, which can help optimize performance and reduce unnecessary network traffic. [Learn more] from the Sensibo API once every minute for all devices.

If pollingData polling is the process of querying a device or service at regular intervals to check for updates or retrieve data. By defining a custom polling interval, you can control how frequently your system checks for new data, which can help optimize performance and reduce unnecessary network traffic. [Learn more] cannot happen because of no connectivity or a malfunctioning API, it will retry a few times before failing. The user can use the homeassistant.update_entity action to manually try again later, in the case the user has solved the connectivity issue.

Troubleshooting

This service is reliant on an internet connection and that the Sensibo API is available. Here are the things you can try before raising an issue:

• Check that internet is available in your Home Assistant instance.
• Check that the Sensibo API is available by accessing the Sensibo API page. If you have previously logged in to Sensibo web, you will get a JSON back with the provided information about your account. If not logged in, the API will respond with login_required.
• Use curl in a terminal on your Home Assistant instance using the same URL as previously opened in the browser. curl https://home.sensibo.com/api/v1/users/me

Specific log entries

Log entry: Device [name of device] not correctly registered with remote on Sensibo cloud.

When setting up a device the first time, a remote needs to be defined for the device in the Sensibo app, either automatically or manually. The device will appear in Home Assistant, but won’t be usable as no HVAC modes can be selected.

Remove the integration

To remove an integration instance from Home Assistant

1. Go to Settings > Devices & services and select the integration card.
2. From the list of devices, select the integration instance you want to remove.
3. Next to the entry, select the three-dot menu. Then, select Delete.
