iNode sensors - new devices

[michalterbert]

Hi!
I have some iNode sensors like CS#1, CS#2, more details:
https://inode.pl/iNode-Care-Sensor-1,p,11/s_lang/en
https://inode.pl/iNode-Care-Sensor-2,p,10/s_lang/en
https://inode.pl/iNode-Care-Sensor-3,p,12/s_lang/en

So I would like to add them to HA with ble_monitor :)
What is needed?

• motion sensor (x,y,z)
• temperature sensor
• humidity sensor

Long time ago I used python2 script with iNode LAN device on raspberry pi, but right now I would like to use internal BT on RPI.

I added custom coponent and enable logs for ble_monitor, now in logs I can noticed something like that. How I can implement new sensor do iNode based on #427 ?

Thanks for any tips and tricks!

I can do that for you. Just try to collect some more advertisements like above with 'report_unknow: Other` , like you did. Try to group them per sensor type, this will make it easier to recognize the pattern for me. You can find individual sensors based on the mac, which is in the BLE advertisement in reversed order (per 2 characters).

E,g, the first advertisement has a MAC d0:f0:18:43:ec:70, which becomes 70ec4318f0d0 if you reverse it per two characters.

This sensor is presenting its advertisement with ff and the character in front of ff is the length in hexadecimals (19), so the actual data is this part.
19ff909b01a0000000007f14b9298e61af6cde99ef797870ee41

The sensor advertisement format is described in this document. I will add it a.s.a.p.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hcBpZ1RSgHRL6wu4SlTq2bvtKSL5_sFjXMu_HRyWZiQ/edit#heading=h.etvbnk7prj7v

I find the following first results from the first adv. (I will add the motion sensor later)

result {'firmware': 'iNode', 'temperature': 9.424, 'humidity': 75.48, 'battery': 90, 'voltage': 2.76, 'rssi': -59, 'mac': 'D0F01843EC70', 'type': 'iNode Care Sensor HT', 'packet': '01a0000000007f14b9298e61af6cde99ef797870ee41', 'data': True}

[Ernst79]

This is the info I can get from the first sensor. According to this link, this is a iNode Care Sensor HT (0x9B), so it does not have a motion sensor. https://inode.pl/iNode-Care-Sensor-HT,p,25

result {'firmware': 'iNode', 'temperature': 9.424587402343747, 'humidity': 75.48956298828125, 'battery': 90, 'voltage': 2.76, 'move_accelerometer': 0, 'level_accelerometer': 0, 'level_temperature': 0, 'level_humidity': 0, 'contact_change': 0, 'move_stopped': 0, 'move_gtimer': False, 'level_accelerometer_change': 0, 'level_magnet_change': 0, 'level_magnet_timer': 0, 'rssi': -59, 'mac': 'D0F01843EC70', 'type': 'iNode Care Sensor HT', 'packet': '01a0000000007f14b9298e61af6cde99ef797870ee41', 'data': True}

@Ernst79 wow! Fantastic job! Thanks!

More logs needed? No problem!

[michalterbert]

In "old way" I had python2 script with some BT mac's:

mac,name,var,idx
d0f01843e078,Roleta,T,1
00126ff18ea2,Salon,T,2
00126ff18e7c,Kuchnia,T,4
d0f01843ec70,SalonW,HT,5
00126fd6552e,Prad,E,6

Later I will provide what means what :)

T - temperature (all inode Care Sensors)
HT - temperature & humidity (iNode CS HT or CS #3 or CS PHT)
P - pressure (iNode CS PT, CS PHT)
PHT - pressure & temperature & humidity (iNode CS PT, CS PHT)
E - average & total value of counter from iNode Energy Meter
MC - counter value from iNode CS #5
I - input state (iNode CS #4, CS #5, CS #6, Care Relay)
U - voltage (iNode CS R)

[Ernst79]

Could you try 6.0.0-beta? I've added all the iNode care sensors.

The most important thing to test is the motion sensor (binary sensor) and the acceleration sensor.

For the acceleration sensor, I have used the first x, y and z acceleration, according to the docs.

x = (rawPosition >> 10) & 0x1F
y = (rawPosition >> 5) & 0x1F
z = rawPosition & 0x1F

The docs show 3 more lines below the above 3 lines

x = x - (x & 0x10 ? 0x1F : 0)
y = y - (y & 0x10 ? 0x1F : 0)
z = z - (z & 0x10 ? 0x1F : 0)

I don't understand these last 3 lines, it isn't python code, while the rest of the docs do show python code.

For now, I left out these last 3 lines, so it will probably give the wrong result. Can you try to compare the values with the app (I assume there is an app). The x, y and z acceleration are attributes of the acceleration sensor.

[michalterbert]

Good news!
On of them works!
Please take a look on screenshot

Great job 👍

[michalterbert]

Next one!

Do you want any additional logs from me? How can I help you?

[Ernst79]

I have the following questions to check

• Is the motion sensor working as expected?
• • Can you give me the number that is displayed in the temperature sensor attributes behind "last mean of"
    
• if you click on the ble acceleration sensor, is the acceleration values for x, y and z correct? Is it possible to check this with an app for example (I don't know if there is an iNode app?).

Especially the last, I seriously doubt that it provides the correct acceleration, as I left out the last three lines from the documentation, see my previous post. Could you send me the python script perhaps, so I can check. My email is in my profile.

Also check the temperature, is 9.3 degrees correct for the TH sensor?

[michalterbert]

Hi @Ernst79,
Below you can find my update:
Screen from Android and "ugly" iNode Web application (after instaled iNode service):

And the same iNode sensor on HA:

So as You can see - temperature is ok, the same on app and HA. Acceleration is different, I don't know why but nevertheless I don't use them (attributes X,Y,Z). Motion sensor works and that is enough for me.

Application is very buggy, now I can't change settings for sensors (connection timeouts).
Here you can find Android application and more:
https://inode.pl/news/n/63/ANDROID/s_lang/en
And one more link:

inode.py_4.91_26.01.2017.zip: https://support.elsat.com.pl/dl.php?fid=978
Above you can find python scripts (login inode, password is empty).

[michalterbert]

And one more screen ("last mean of"):

I have to buy usb bluetooth adapter (chip CSR8510) to change attribute constant for Energy Meter:

Or maybe we can set that attribute manually via HA? Is it possible?

[Ernst79]

6.0.1- beta has been released. I found the correct formula for the acceleration in one of your links, thanks.

I have no idea how to change the constant. I use the values as given in the docs. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hcBpZ1RSgHRL6wu4SlTq2bvtKSL5_sFjXMu_HRyWZiQ/edit#heading=h.l38j4be9ejx7

You can use a template sensor in HA to convert the value.

[michalterbert]

@Ernst79 below you can find more information about constant:
http://support.inode.pl/docs/iNode%20Energy%20Meter%20-%20instruction%20manual.pdf

So I need to buy BT adpater to configure such setting :) Later I will check your new beta version and acceleration.

[Ernst79]

6.0.1 has been released as final. If you encounter any issues, let me know. For now, I think we can close this issue.
