Hi, i got this working and found your repository with a post on instagram:
GitHub - maxlin1/PekawayVANPICORE_homeassistant: Diese benutzerdefinierte Komponente integriert das VAN PI CORE Board mit Home Assistant und ermöglicht es dir, die Systeme deines Vans über die Home Assistant zu überwachen und zu steuern.
But how can i integrate Dimmy?
Hi, I’m not using the Dimmy because I’m going to do everything via W-LED but as far as I know it has MQTT because there’s an ESP on it, you could then simply integrate it via W-Lan or you would have to write a component for it.
If you follow my instructions, all i2c and UART connections are patched and you can access them and use them in your own custom_component.
Hi, as i already shared the repository, which i could not find here! it is complete with everything working. But i have a dimmy so want to use it instead of making something different.
which OKIDOKI repository do you mean? I don’t quite understand your message? What you shared here on GIT is mine. But it’s not related to the dimmy
Yes sorry, your git repo… I found it on instagram with a link. And works great… Thanks for posting!! Maybe you also got a solution to get it working with a dimmy on home assistant?
have you connected the dimmy directly with cable or via Wi-Fi
Hi, i have connected it with a cable
The Dimmy uses I2C address 0x55, there’s a PCA9685 on it. So you should be able to connect some slider entities to that.
Ah, thank you @Vincent, that’s helpful. @evandijk, you could try it with GitHub - antonverburg/ha-pca9685: Home Assistant Raspberry Pi GPIO PWM Integration.
Unfortunately, as I mentioned, I can’t test it currently because I don’t have a Dimmy.
Hi, anyone got the ads1115 resistive water level sensor working? I downloaded the github from maxlin but get no data from the water sensors.
Can you share a bit information about your teltonika router info?
Welche Infos zu Teltonika Router benötigtst du???
I have no experience with that repo you mention. I run vantelligence_connector as a service alongside home assistant. This reads out my ADS1115 sensor as well controls my Autoterm diesel heater. It then integrates with home assistant via MQTT.
I am running a Teltonika RUTX12 router in my van. It allows me to run two sim cards in parallel (either load balancing or failover). I also use its GPS module to track and record my location. It also feeds that location into home assistant which I then use to update the “home location” used for weather and solar forecasts.
Hi, vantelligence you run on home assistant? Or you also running vanpi? How did you connect to rutx12? Modbus or mqqt?
Thank you very much.
Yeah, so I don’t run Home Assistant OS. Meaning I can just install vantelligence as a separate service. I don’t exactly know what the path would be when running the Home Assistant OS.
No, I don’t run vanpi anymore.
Getting GPS out of the router was actually quite challenging. The “easiest” was to setup an HTTP endpoint through node red and then use the router’s NMEA forwarding feature. This sends predefined NMEA sentences to the endpoint in a regular interval. In node red you can then do whatever you want. I transform the sentences into OwnTracks compatible MQTT messages and process them with Home Assistant integration.
Hi evandijk ich verstehe nicht genau was du meinst was der Wasser Level (Volt ) Sensor mit dem Router zu tun hat. Ich habe Votronic Sensoren getestet und es funktioniert bei mir.
@evandijk: I recently have updated my pca9685 integration. It works now via the config flow, that should make the testing much easier. Note that you might have to do some tweaks on hass os, if you use that, to get the I2C bus working. I created that integration for my home assistant hardware, the ControlBox. It contains lots of IO, users here might be interested in that as well. It’s currently pre-launced at crowdsupply.
Hallo zusammen, hi @Max,
ich interessiere mich auch dafür, HA direkt auf dem van Pi core laufen zu lassen.
Weiß jemand, ob man das Pekaway TouchDisplay einbinden und benutzen kann?
Hi Arne leider geht das dann nicht
