Status Messages (Events)

[nireins]

Hi, fist off all: very great work!

I use this integration for my Siemens Coffe Mashine EQ.9 and Neff Dishwascher.

I hope that I am correct at this point.

What I miss in this integration are the status messages, such as with the coffee machine: "Bean container empty", "Fill water tank", "Empty drip tray", etc. And for the dishwasher, something like: "Refill rinse aid", "Refill salt", etc. Such status messages are displayed in the Home Connect app.

Is it at all possible to include this?

Greetings

That is also included under events! You see an event when the water tank is empty, you can make a script or template sensor for this

Template.yaml

  - trigger:
      - platform: event
        event_type: home_connect_alt_event
        event_data:
          key: ConsumerProducts.CoffeeMaker.Event.BeanContainerEmpty
          value: BSH.Common.EnumType.EventPresentState.Present
        id: "on"
      - platform: event
        event_type: home_connect_alt_event
        event_data:
          key: ConsumerProducts.CoffeeMaker.Event.BeanContainerEmpty
          value: BSH.Common.EnumType.EventPresentState.Off
        id: "off"
    binary_sensor:
      - name: espresso_boon_res_empty
        state: "{{ trigger.id }}"

Hi, thanks for that.
However, I am literally on the tube right now :)

I tried to display the events in text via the following automation, but unfortunately it doesn't work.

Do I have something wrong understood?

Can I ask you once for your help, how the whole thing must look correct? Thank you very much.

This is not an issue. Moving to discussion. Unfortunately I don't have an example ready to show and don't have the capacity to build one.

Hello, I am so sorry.... I made a big mistake... I corrected the error and now it works.

Thanks again for the tip with the template.

Hey could you post your final templates?
Maybe it could be added to the readme, or we can make an template_example.md

https://api-docs.home-connect.com/events/#home-appliance-events lists all (most?) of the status events generated by appliances. e.g. dishwasher salt being empty.
Was wondering about the best way of handling these as there's not a sensor created. Some ideas:

• add attributes to the operational state? Not sure it considered good practice to dynamically add and remove attributes from HA sensors?
• create sensor when it sees the alert come in and remove it when the alert clears?
• stick with the event scripts/templates above?

example below showing an event coming in and later being cleared on the debug log (level: alert, KEY is the event, and value is the eventpresentstate [present, off, confirmed])
