A fully asynchronous approach to supporting Plugwise devices in Home-Assistant. This repository is **meant** for use of beta-testing. As of March 2021 we include testing against latest `dev` in Home-Assistant Core, the above batches should indicate compatibility and compliance.

#### USB notes
50
+
51
+
Up to spring of 2023 the `custom_component``plugwise-beta`[plugwise-beta](https://github.com/plugwise/plugwise-beta/) supported both Networked and USB Plugwise products, as of that time we have split both the backend (python module) and the frontend into separate instances as per recent discussion with the Core team. The `plugwise` integration in HA Core (and therefore `plugwise-beta`) will remain supporting networked Plugwise products under an envisioned `plugwise_bv` Brand umbrella. This paves the way for this repository as upcoming `plugwise_usb-beta``custom_integration` to being refactored and again upstream to HA Core (which was originally planned but there was no branding umbrella in Core back then).
52
+
53
+
As such we ask USB users, who are tied in with the `custom_component` as there is no Core integration available yet, for a little patience so we can split and refactor all repositories without loss of functionality for the end users. For our USB users that will however mean some **breaking changes** or customizing under the hood as the `custom_component` name will change and the appropriate naming in HA will do so accordingly. It is for the best though as this will ensure a way forward to HA Core integration, which has been our goal since starting to write Plugwise supporting code for Home Assistant.

### What can I expect in HA Core from this component

-
-`binary_sensor` and `sensor`: A number of sensoric values depending on your hardware: outdoor temperature, Anna's illuminance, Tom's valve position, Plug's and Circle/Stealth's power-values, P1 power- and gas-values, Plugwise Notifications.
60
-
-`climate`: A (number of) thermostat(s) visible in HA, including temperature, presets and heating-demand status, per thermostat. Also, setting of temperature, preset and switching the active schedule on and off. Cooling is only supported in combination with an Anna (fw 3.1 and 4.0).
61
-
-`number`: Numerical indication on boiler setpoints.
62
-
-`select`: Input selector to choose the active schedule.

#### How to add the integration to HA Core
73
68
74
-
For each Plugwise Smile (i.e. gateway) you will have to add it as an integration. For instance if you have an Adam and a Smile P1, you have to add them individually. If you have an Anna and an Adam, **do not add the Anna**, only add the Adam.

Our testing is done through testing against files from community members (see [python-plugwise tests](https://github.com/plugwise/python-plugwise/tree/main/tests)) and if you have a setup you are willing to share we highly welcome that. Just send us the files or submit a PR. Including your test code into the `tests/test_Smile.py` code is highly recommended.

For full visibility of tests run this as `DEBUG=1 scripts/core-testing.sh` (or export DEBUG to something other than none). `pytest` will show full log by default when tests are failing.
