Interesting, I thought it would be something like that. This action doesn't seem to be working when I test it... can you spot what's up? I've tried capital and lower case. How do you discover the possible values for each property? Some I can find in the UI, but not many.

"Airtouch Master Control" is the device "climate.daikin".

Use entities, not devices.

Ok I understand, but this one still doesn't seem to work whether I use Damper / damper and whether I address the master entity or the climate entity for each room. Any more tips?! Appreciate your help :)

When I change them mode on the main tablet my phone changes within a second, and vice versa. I'm watching the phone while hitting the "test action" button and nothing is happening.

Try a different service then. Like turn fan on tick preset mode and change mode.
Or use dev/logs to see what state damper and itc are called.

Ok, got it. Here's the automation to set it to Damper mode and 100%. Like you said, you use fan.turn on and alter the preset mode there, and you need a short delay between some commands.

- id: '1'
alias: Test Airtouch Preset Mode
description: 'Set Airtouch to Damper mode 100%'
trigger:
- platform: time
at: 00:00:00
condition: []
action:
- service: fan.turn_on
data:
preset_mode: Damper
target:
entity_id:
- fan.guest
- fan.living
- delay:
hours: 0
minutes: 0
seconds: 2
milliseconds: 0
- service: fan.turn_on
data:
percentage: 100
target:
entity_id:
- fan.living
- fan.guest
mode: single

@Psilan would you mind sharing the yaml for your dashboard that includes the temperature graphs? I would like to turn the Airtouch temps into "statistics" that I can display on a graph on a dashboard.

Once I get this all working I will probably put the yaml for where I end up on github so others can use it easily. Takes a while to learn this stuff, it might help people out.

I've automated most of the heating / cooling for the house, other than the Air Con which the Broadlink uses. The Broadlink automation looks like you have to record IR pulses to send out, which is a bit of a PITA. I might do it one day.

Ah, I assumed you had graphed the temperature coming off the Airtouch temperature sensors. I'll see if I can work that out at some point :)

I'm just trying to integrate OpenWeatherMap outside temperature into conditions so the heating is turned off if the outside temperature is above a threshold haven't quite cracked it yet.

I'm just trying to integrate OpenWeatherMap outside temperature into conditions so the heating is turned off if the outside temperature is above a threshold haven't quite cracked it yet.

I have that as a condition on one of my automations:

condition: and
conditions:
- condition: numeric_state
entity_id: sensor.openweathermap_temperature
below: '17'

Also have a dashboard graph for the temperature history
views:
- theme: Backend-selected
title: Home
type: panel
badges: []
cards:
- type: history-graph
entities:
- entity: climate.ac_0
- entity: climate.living
- entity: climate.guest
- entity: climate.media
- entity: climate.master
- entity: sensor.openweathermap_temperature
hours_to_show: 48
title: Home Temp
refresh_interval: 15

Which looks a little something like this:

That's awesome @Dono, thanks! I have both of them working based on the yaml. I thought I had to define statistics using configuration.yaml, I'm glad I didn't go down that rabbit hole!

The graph is quite busy. If I wanted to show say "Lounge Current Temperature" but hide target temperature and heating status, do you know how I'd do that? It's probably a probably changing the entity to something like "entity: climate.living.temperature" but I'm not so good at the HA model yet.

Another question about dashboard. How do I:

Make one graph take up a whole dashboard?
Tile the dashboard so I can have a smaller graph for each room?

I've not found a way to permanently remove the target temperature, but i've not investigated in depth to be fair. You can click on each of the items in the key to remove it temporarily

use type: panel for a single graph to take up the whole panel

To have a tiled dashboard either use the default view, or type: sidebar for a single column

Thanks Dono, that's great! It worked for me after changing just a couple of entity names. I'll see if I can work out how to do graphs where I can explicitly tell it what to graph, rather than letting it decide. I might have to post on the HA forum, but I'll do a bit of reading / searching first.

I installed this integration a several months ago via HACS and have some probably stupid questions:

Does it automatically find updates and notify you to auto-install them like it does with officially approved HA integrations? How do you manually check what version of the integration you're running?

HACs notifies in the same place HA does in the current version. They simplified it slightly this year.

There haven't been updates in a long time https://github.com/mihailescu2m/hass-airtouch4-platform/releases

I think many of us are using this integration which is third party / has to be added manually. It works better than the built in one. Updating is manual for manually installed plugins. I think I just have to "git pull" to update.
