Climate template support

[lwolf]

I am trying to add a climate device to MQTT Autodiscovery, but the following two (config) templates simply does not work.

Code: Select all

"temperature_state_template": "{{ value_json.thermostats[0].target_t.value}}"
"current_temperature_template": "{{ value_json.thermostats[0].tmp.value }}"

At least i got these errors from Domoticz log:

Code: Select all

Climate device unhandled temperature_state_template
Climate device unhandled current_temperature_template

Here are an example payload for the above:

Code: Select all

{
    "thermostats": [
        {
            "pos": -1,
            "target_t": {
                "enabled": true,
                "value": 24.0,
                "units": "C"
            },
            "tmp": {
                "value": 17.4,
                "units": "C",
                "is_valid": true
            },
            "schedule": false,
            "schedule_profile": 2,
            "boost_minutes": 0
        }
    ]
}

There is some support in 2023.2 stable. Check also this issue https://github.com/domoticz/domoticz/issues/5676

Updated to latest Domoticz V2023.2 (build 15512)

Still the same error, but i think it is because the JSON nesting level is too much for MQTTAD to handle...

Used config template:

homeassistant/climate/thermostat1/config

Code: Select all

{"unique_id":"TRV-1","name": "TRV1-setpoint",
"~":"shellies/trv-xxx/",
"temperature_command_topic": "~thermostat/0/command/target_t",
"temperature_state_template": "{{ value_json.thermostats[0].target_t.value }}",
"temperature_state_topic": "~info",
"temperature_unit": "C",
"precision": 0.1,
"temp_step": 0.5,
"max_temp": 31,
"min_temp": 4
}

Test data:

shellies/trv-xxx/info

Code: Select all

{
    "thermostats": [
        {
            "pos": -1,
            "target_t": {
                "enabled": true,
                "value": 24.0,
                "units": "C"
            },
            "tmp": {
                "value": 17.4,
                "units": "C",
                "is_valid": true
            },
            "schedule": false,
            "schedule_profile": 2,
            "boost_minutes": 0
        }
    ]
}

I tried to replace value_json.thermostats[0].target_t.value with a simpler value and it works.. should i raise a new issue at Domoticz github?

Or perhaps add your findings in the current issue. It is not closed yet

Okay i found a climate related issue on github, however the problem and the template is different i've added the above.

Thanx, gizmocuz added support for array in templates in beta 15515, and now, the above example works!

Great!
