Plugwise

Plugwise provides smart home devices that allow you to monitor and control your climate, energy (including gas) consumption, and energy production. The energy information can be used for the energy dashboard.

This integration supports one or multiple Plugwise Gateways connected to your network. You can connect to these gateways using your browser, the Plugwise App, or Home Assistant. There are 4 supported types of gateways:

• Full zonecontrol using the Adam using additional devices such as zone thermostats, smart valves and smart-plugs.
• A stand-alone smart thermostat called Anna.
• For power and gas-usage monitoring there is a device simply called the P1.
• Although no longer sold, there also is support for Stretch, a gateway to create network connectivity for their older power products.

Pre-requisites

Plugwise gateways on your network are automatically discovered and displayed on the integrations dashboard. Each gateway requires its unique 8-character ID, found on a sticker at the bottom, as its password. Repeat this process for each gateway.

Configuration

To add the Plugwise hub to your Home Assistant instance, use this My button:

Plugwise can be auto-discovered by Home Assistant. If an instance was found, it will be shown as Discovered. You can then set it up right away.

Schedule Management

1. Initial Setup: First, activate a schedule using the Plugwise App or browser.
2. Control via Home Assistant:
   • Use the climate card to activate/deactivate schedules.
   • ‘Auto’ mode indicates the schedule is active.
   • ‘Heat’, ‘Cool’ or ‘Heat_cool’ modes signify the schedule is inactive.
3. Changing Schedules: Use the thermostat select entity.

Supported functionality

This integration displays all Plugwise devices in your configuration, including hardware devices, multi-thermostat climate zones, and virtual switch groups. Additionally, a device representing your Plugwise gateway (e.g., Adam, Smile-T, or P1) will be visible.

For example, if you have an Adam setup with a Lisa named ‘Living’ and a Tom named ‘Bathroom’, these will show up as individual devices. The heating/cooling device connected to your gateway will be shown as ‘OpenTherm’ or ‘OnOff’, depending on how the gateway communicates with the device. If you have Plugs (as in, pluggable switches connecting to an Adam) or Aqara Smart Plugs, those will be shown as devices as well.

Each device will list entities such as binary sensors, sensors, etc., depending on its capabilities: for instance, centralized measurements such as power for a P1, outdoor_temperature on Anna or Adam will be assigned to your gateway device. Heating/cooling device measurements such as boiler_temperature will be assigned to the OpenTherm/OnOff device.

Climate entities

Binary sensors

Depending on your setup, one or more binary sensors will provide the state of your connected elements. Examples include:

• Cooling & Heating
  • Description: Indicates if your system is actively cooling or heating.

Data updates

The interval at which the integration fetches data from the gateway depends on the device-type.

Removing the integration

This integration follows standard integration removal. No extra steps are required within Home Assistant or on your Plugwise devices.

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.

This will also remove all connected Adam devices (such as Anna, Tom or Lisa) or connected Adam/Stretch plugs.

Actions

Update Smile data

Forced update of data from your Smile can be triggered by calling the generic homeassistant.update_entity action with your Smile entity as the target.

# Example script change the temperature
script:
  force_adam_update:
    sequence:
      - action: homeassistant.update_entity
        target:
          entity_id: climate.living_room

Reboot the Plugwise gateway

action: button.press

# Example script change the thermostat schedule
script:
  reboot_gateway:
    sequence:
      - action: button.press
        target:
          entity_id: button.adam_reboot

Set HVAC mode

action: climate.set_hvac_mode

Available options include off (Adam only) auto, cool, heat, and heat_cool (Anna with Elga only).

The meaning of off is that the Adam regulation is set to off. This means that the connected HVAC-system does not heat or cool, only the domestic hot water heating function, when available, is active.

The meaning of cool or heat is that there is no schedule active. For example, if the system is manually set to cooling- or heating-mode, the system will be active if the room temperature is above/below the thermostat setpoint.

The meaning of heat/cool is that there is no schedule active. For example, if the system is in automatic cooling- or heating-mode, the active preset or manually set temperature is used to control the HVAC system.

The meaning of auto is that a schedule is active and the thermostat will change presets/setpoints accordingly.

The last schedule that was active is determined the same way long-tapping the top of Anna works.

Example:

# Example script climate.set_hvac_mode to auto = schedule active
script:
  lisa_reactivate_last_schedule:
    sequence:
      - action: climate.set_hvac_mode
        target:
          entity_id: climate.living_room
        data:
          hvac_mode: auto

Turn on / turn off

action: climate.turn_off, climate.turn_on (Adam only)

These actions will switch the Adam regulation mode (= HVAC system mode) to off or on, affecting the operation of all connected thermostats. climate.turn_on will activate the previously selected heating or cooling mode.

Example:

# Example script climate.turn_off
script:
  turn_heating_on:
    sequence:
      - action: climate.turn_off
        target:
          entity_id: climate.bios

Change climate schedule

action: select.select_option

# Example script change the thermostat schedule
script:
  lisa_change_schedule:
    sequence:
      - action: select.select_option
        target:
          entity_id: select.bios_thermostat_schedule
        data:
          option: "Regulier"

Change boiler setpoint

action: number.set_value

# Example script change the boiler setpoint
script:
  change_max_boiler_tempeture_setpoint:
    sequence:
      - action: number.set_value
        target:
          entity_id: number.opentherm_max_boiler_temperature_setpoint
        data:
          value: 60

Set temperature

action: climate.set_temperature

Example:

# Example script change the temperature
script:
  anna_set_predefined_temperature:
    sequence:
      - action: climate.set_temperature
        target:
          entity_id: climate.anna
        data:
          temperature: 19.5

Set preset mode

action: climate.set_preset_mode

Available options include: home, vacation (Anna only), no_frost, asleep & away.

Example:

# Example script changing the active (or currently set by schedule) preset
script:
  anna_activate_preset_asleep:
    sequence:
      - action: climate.set_preset_mode
        data:
          preset_mode: asleep

Stretch (end-of-sale)

For controlling and monitoring legacy power switches, such as the Circles or Stealths, with v3.x or v2.x Stretch firmware.

Unsupported devices

Anna P1

A smart thermostat combined with an energy monitor can transform the way you manage energy. If your solar setup generates surplus energy and you’re charged for it, this combination ensures that excess solar power is redirected efficiently. Powering your heat pump for instance to make the most of renewable energy. Do you have a setup like this? We’d love to hear your experience!

Stick

Plugwise formerly sold power-based products comprised of a USB stick, as the controller, and smart plugs (amongst a few other items). This integration does not support the USB-stick. Reuse of the these products, such as Circles and Stealths using a Stretch or an Adam is supported. Work for USB support is in development by the community, but not ready to become a formal Home Assistant integration just yet.

• v3.x
• v2.x

Troubleshooting

Accessing the local device

If you need to configure the gateway directly, without using the Plugwise App, you can find the link to your device by:

1. Go to Settings > Devices & services, and select your integration.
2. If you have more than one Plugwise gateway, select the one to configure.
3. Select the gateway device, this should be called ‘Adam’, ‘Stretch’ or contain ‘Smile’ in its name.

5. A new window/tab will open, enter ‘smile’ (or ‘stretch’) as the username and the ID, from the sticker on the back, as the password.
6. Consult the manual or click the ‘search’ button on the Plugwise Support page for interactive help.

Adjusting the update interval

Please note that the default intervals are considered best practice and according to how Plugwise normally updates their data. Updating too frequently may induce considerable load on your gateway(s) resulting in unexpected results or missing data.

If you want to define a specific interval at which your device is being polled for data, you can disable the default polling interval and create your own polling automation.

To add the automation:

1. Go to Settings > Devices & services, and select your integration.
2. On the integration entry, select the .
   • Then, select System options and toggle the button to disable polling.
3. To define your custom polling interval, create an automation.
   • Go to Settings > Automations & scenes and create a new automation.
   • Define any trigger and condition you like.
   • Select Add action, then, select Other actions.
   • Select Perform action, and from the list, select the homeassistant.update_entity action.
4. Save your new automation to poll for data.

Diagnostic data

If you need to create an issue to report a bug or want to inspect diagnostic data, use the below method to retrieve diagnostics:

1. Go to Settings > Devices & services, and select your integration.
2. If you have more than one Plugwise gateway, select the gateway that is experiencing issues.
3. Select the gateway device, this should be called ‘Adam’, ‘Stretch’ or contain ‘Smile’ in its name.
4. On the integration entry, select the .
   • Then, select Download diagnostics and a JSON file will be downloaded.
5. You can inspect the downloaded file or, when requested, upload it to your issue report.

Rebooting your gateway

For each gateway, there will be a reboot button available in your integration.

1. Go to Settings > Devices & services, and select your integration.
2. If you have more than one Plugwise Smile, select the gateway that is experiencing issues.
3. Select the gateway device, this should be called ‘Adam’, ‘Stretch’ or contain ‘Smile’ in its name.
4. On the integration entry, look for the ‘Reboot’ button to press in the Configuration section.

Known limitations

Schedule configuration and pre-requisites

Creation, modification or deleting of climate schedules is not supported through this integration. We recommend using the Plugwise App or visit the local device to configure schedules. See accessing the local device above on how to access the local device from Home Assistant.

To display your schedule as a valid select option for this integration, ensure that the schedule has a minimal of two schedule points.

Anna connected to Adam

If you are using your Anna as part of your Adam zone control system, it becomes a zone thermostat, and cannot be configured as a smart thermostat. The integration will not discover your Anna or allow manual configuration.

Anna with Elga

The cooling mode can only be toggled via a physical switch on the device (not through a toggle in the Plugwise App or using Home Assistant).

The change in cooling mode should be detected by Home Assistant. If not, please try to reload the Plugwise integration as indicated below and report your findings.

1. Create an issue including your diagnostic data.
2. Go to Settings > Devices & services, and select your integration.
3. On the “Hubs” page, use the icon next to your Anna and choose “Reload”.

Vacation preset

The vacation preset is only available on an Anna. Adam has a vacation-mode (called Action in the Plugwise App) that disables the active schedule and sets the vacation-preset for all zones.

Also, there’s a pause-mode that disables the active schedule and sets the away-preset for all zones.

Idling climate actions

You can only stop climate actions on an Adam, see turn on / turn off. An alternative could be to adjust your preset mode to no_frost to stop any heating actions.
