[App][Pro]LinknLink eMotion

I have published a new test version with support for a TV remote and an AC remote. They seems to work for me, so hopefully they should be universal.

There seems to be a bug in the LinknLink system for the AC remote that prevents the temperature being set if the Auto Mode is active. It is an issue in the LinknLink app as well, so not just an MQTT issue. I will report that to them to see what they say.

Hi Adrian- thanks for all your work here!

Do you expect to add support for the eMotion Air when it ships? A $13 mmWave sensor thatā€™s also a button is really appealing.

43

I have pledged on kickstarter and should receive some when they launch.

I hope to add support for them, but they use a different technology, Zigbee, that I havenā€™t worked with before, so it will be a bit of a challenge :wink:.

44

Iā€™ve tried the new version and itā€™s not working for me. I have connected the TV and the AC in the LinknLink app and it works normally. But in the Homey app, when i try to add the TV or the AC it doesnā€™t find any device. I donā€™t know if it has to do with the same problem as before, the Ultra 2 version.

Thank you for all the work you do

Could you open the app settings and select the Detected tab, then tap on Get Devices followed by Send Log.

I get this in the log:

[
ā€œ4101a675beac00009ff59624266eā€,
{
ā€œdeviceIdā€: ā€œ4101a675beac00009ff59624266eā€,
ā€œnameā€: ā€œTVā€,
ā€œmodelā€: ā€œTV from eMotion Ultraā€,
ā€œmanufacturerā€: ā€œLinknLinkā€,
ā€œentitiesā€: [

and the app uses the model field to identify the type. maybe yours is coming back with something different.

For the TV I match either of theses [ā€˜TV from eMotion Ultraā€™, ā€˜TV from eMotion Ultra2ā€™].

Iā€™ve sent you the log, Iā€™m not getting any device

47

When you added them to the LinknLink app, did you select the Home Assistant option?

Know, Iā€™ve connected them via HA, I can see the TV device but not the AC device. Even thought I canā€™t connect the TV. Iā€™ve send you the log

49

I donā€™t know if this could help. The Homey app recognise the TV as an AC remote so I can add it to Homey but it doesnā€™t work for obvious reasons. (Homey error: No MQTT climate entity found for AC device)

50

I have been working on using a different method to identify devices as the model name is going to be very unreliable. Iā€™m not how HA copes, but the interface is a bit wishy wishy.

51

Thank you Adrian, I appreciate it a lot

52

I have published a new test version that now looks for entities rather than the model type.

53

Remote TV is now working perfectly. Homey app canā€™t see the AC device

54

If you look in the Detected Log, do you see any entries that start with ā€œclimate:ā€?

If you have access to something like MQTT Explorer, do you see a climate entry in there at all:

This is what I can see in MQTT explorer. In the log there is no climate entrie. If you need more data let me know
