I've tested (I have multiple ISY's being read into HA--My production and my "test" unit). Second, after you have made changes, First RELOAD the integration, then navigate to Developer Tools in the left hand menu. then "Services" in the header menu, then run the service "ISY994.cleanup_entities" @MrBillThank you!!! Thank you for the screenshot too. I did a quick test run to make sure I understood the method and it works. I am converting to ~. I have a path forward now and got a better understanding of the services options. Looks very powerful especially being able to call other ISY services. Thank you @Athlon for letting me know you were on the same equip/ver Im on. @MrBillLet me know where to find one of those Binford 9000's....nobody stocks them since 1999 . 2 Link to comment
Athlon Posted July 21, 2022 Author Share Posted July 21, 2022 20 minutes ago, MrBill said: So tell me how you change it to away mode with a button, and how do you change it back with a second button. I can probably help if I know more.... Two separate automations. Each button activates it's own automation. I think I'm going to take the the easy way out - set up a scene in IoP. HA will see it as a switch I can simply turn on and off. Thanks for looking at this. Link to comment
Athlon Posted July 21, 2022 Author Share Posted July 21, 2022 (edited) @MrBill Creating a scene won't do it for me. I need On and Off separate settings Here's the automation yaml that sets my three thermostats to 'Away': - id: '1658419617473' alias: Away description: '' trigger: - platform: state entity_id: - input_boolean.away_mode condition: [] action: - device_id: 43155fb8091e0df7112be23cd986f4ae domain: climate entity_id: climate.family_room type: set_preset_mode preset_mode: Away - device_id: 32384f7f75726c1285a8fc51ca80fd18 domain: climate entity_id: climate.bedroom type: set_preset_mode preset_mode: Away - device_id: 96597517074a02c8a49092c9ace202fb domain: climate entity_id: climate.living_room type: set_preset_mode preset_mode: Away mode: single Edited July 21, 2022 by Athlon Link to comment
MrBill Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 @Athlon I assume you Custom button is Toggling input boolean on/off? and when On you want to set away. and when Off you want to set Home. For your automation Trigger, use exactly what you have. For Action, pick Choose for Condition, again pick State and add the same input boolean entity... the for state type "on" but NO Quotes... like this except your entity: Next is the tricky part, as you scroll down from here you'll see this: We don't need anymore conditions, so skip that button. Press the FIRST "add action" and then add the 3 actions you need for each thermostat. After your finished there you want to add another OPTION. That would be the ADD OPTION button that appears just above "Default Actions". (BTW you won't have any Default Actions, so never touch THAT "add action".) Now that we've pressed the Add Option button just ABOVE default acctions for Option#2 the condition is again "State", your unity, and then in the State Blank you want "off" again no quotes and no capital, like this: then you want to use the add action button under this "option" to add the actions required to set the three thermostats to HOme mode. Now save the Automation, you should be done. The key to this is your using one Automation with the option "Choose" to decide what to do when the input boolean is On or off. Let me know how it turns out.... Link to comment

Thanks for pointing out 'Choose' - never would have thought to look there for this. I believe I've done everything correctly. Here's the code that resulted: Switch I'm using: input_boolean.away_mode Dashboard Button code: type: custom:mushroom-entity-card entity: input_boolean.away_mode tap_action: action: toggle fill_container: false secondary_info: state layout: vertical Automation code: id: '1658430576706' alias: Away description: '' trigger: - platform: state entity_id: - input_button.away_mode condition: [] action: - choose: - conditions: - condition: state entity_id: input_button.away_mode state: 'on' sequence: - device_id: 96597517074a02c8a49092c9ace202fb domain: climate entity_id: climate.living_room type: set_preset_mode preset_mode: Away - conditions: - condition: state entity_id: input_button.away_mode state: 'off' sequence: - device_id: 96597517074a02c8a49092c9ace202fb domain: climate entity_id: climate.living_room type: set_preset_mode preset_mode: Home default: [] mode: single What looks odd to me is 'input_button.away_mode' is in the automation code, and 'input_boolean.away_mode' is in the button (dashboard) code. Do you know if that is correct? btw, for now I'm trying to get it to work on just the one thermostat - I'll add the other two when we get it to work. Link to comment
MrBill Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 @Athlon I see what you mean... no "Input_button" in the automation is not correct. it should be input_boolean.away_mode in both.. it should be the same entity in the Button, the trigger, and both conditions. You have an input boolean "Helper" called away_mode correct? Link to comment

When playing around earlier I had another button (since deleted) that may have created that 'input_button.away_mode'. For some reason no matter what I do in th UI it doesn't change. I'll update you here shortly. Link to comment

Athlon Posted July 21, 2022 Author Share Posted July 21, 2022 Getting there... The stat is switching to 'Away and Holding' now - which is what I want. Perfect. It started working when I turned on the bluse slider on the page listing my animations. I have not touched those until now. Ouch. It doesn't go back to 'Home' when I turn the dashboard button off though. I had the yaml file open earlier in the editor I got from HACS - maybe it wasn't saving correctly (or at all)? It's correct now. Link to comment

What happens if you go to the automations GUI... and scroll down to Option 2, then just a little further to the Actions for Option 2, from there choose "Run Action" in the overflow menu.... Does that make the thermostat change back? Link to comment

Athlon Posted July 21, 2022 Author Share Posted July 21, 2022 It's working now! Thank you very much for hanging in there with me today. Very much appreciated. Not sure why it's working everytime now all of a sudden - perhaps Ecobee's cloud was a little slow earlier? 2 Link to comment

I followed along too and picked up a few things. I didn't post anything else until your problem was resolved, but....here goes.... You guys got me there!! @MrBilland @Athlon. Took a little work on the ~ on the Polisy side. I did have to delete my integration and add it back to get to 20227.6. HA wouldn't boot at one point....by the time I had it hooked up to a monitor it was working again. Maybe it finally got a clean boot, but I'm up to date, learned how to "clean up entities" in the Developer Tools, and got my ignore character short!! Thank you again!! 2 Link to comment

In fact when I configure http, username and password of my ISY in HA I can see my ISY's blue light flashing actively for about 2 minutes, so it is reading the info, but then something goes wrong. I will check the log and try to identify an error message. Link to comment
MrBill Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 @asbril, In Settings -> Devices and Services you should see your ISY and Polisy represented like this: Click on the ISY portion: Are Devices and Entities counts showing up there? Is so what are the counts? Now click Configure and show me a screenshot of the configure window. We shall continue after knowing those answers. Link to comment

Since I already know that you have the Add-on "Terminal and SSH" installed go to Settings > Add-on and click Terminal and SSH, then click Open Web UI. After the terminal window opens type ping 10.0.0.11 at the prompt like this (note: my IP address is different): after the pings start rolling out you can use Ctrl-C to stop them. Does that work? we are pinging the ISY's IP address to see if it is reachable from HA. if so, We'll proceeed to the next step of troubleshooting.... 1 Link to comment
