Installation

pip3 install david-home-automation==0.1.38
(sudo apt install --yes expect && cd $(mktemp -d) && git clone https://github.com/Heckie75/eQ-3-radiator-thermostat.git x && cd x && cp eq3.exp $HOME/.local/bin)

# (Optional) find your thermostat MACs via
bluetoothctl devices

# Create your config once 
cat > ~/.config/david-home-automation.yaml <<EOF
thermostats:
  - mac_address: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
    name: Arbeitszimmer
hosts:
  - broadcast_ip: 192.168.178.1
    mac_address: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

EOF

# You can also pass your config file path via an env variable
export HOME_AUTOMATION_CONFIG=your/path

python3 -m david_home_automation.server --server-host=0.0.0.0 --server-port 5000

Setup as a service

./install.sh

Setup eq3 bluetooth

Follow the eq3.exp guide for pairing your thermostats. Make sure you do not connect/pair from multiple devices as the thermostats get easily confused. If you are encountering strange connection issues or crypted error messages from the API (and by extension also eq3.exp), reset your thermostats to factory settings (see manual). A useful debugging tool is btmon.

Development

• Install poetry

poetry install
FLASK_ENV=development FLASK_APP=david_home_automation/main poetry run flask run --host=0.0.0.0 --port 5050
