Just wanted to run this by you…Did you give up? Anyway, since the start, I noticed that there is no way to stop the Sensibo app from sending commands to the unit while the Homey app is trying to take control.

Not yet no, I just got feedback from Athom on how Homey detects the region and how I can test the app as if it was in the US and use fahrenheit. I was testing with previous Homey pro 2019 which just doesn’t support fahrenheit and US market. Has to be HP23 to test with. I need to plan as my only HP23 is the production device and can’t mess up the home.

Will take a bit more time than expected.

New update (LIVE 1.18.9)

Changes include

  • FIX: Target temperature Fahrenheit handling in Sensibo API

@djvagnetti, this should now finally fix the fahrenheit inconsistancy between Homey and Sensibo. Should even allow mixed mode where one is set to be in celsius and the other in fahrenheit.

What do you mean with this? Using the Sensibo Mobile app and Sensibo with Homey should work together fine. Just keep in mind that both apps use the Sensibo API by calling it with a fixed interval, means that changes made by one mai take some time to update on the other.

Upcoming breaking update (TEST 1.19.1)

Changes include

  • BREAK: Sensibo Elements: Revert measure_tvoc capability to Homey default capability, changes value from ppb to µg/m³.
  • BREAK: Sensibo Pure: replaces custom Air quality capability and trigger with Homey default Air quality level capability and flow cards

If anyone is using TVOC value tags with Sensibo Elements, the value will be approximatly 4 times larger than before. New Homey default flow cards will be available.

This change is now available for testing.

Hi.
I can see that it has been asked in the past, but a few years ago.
I’m missing the possibility to select fan mode. This is possible in the sensibo app directly but not in Homey.

Seems to be a possibility through flow, but not on the device itself.
Any chance this could be added?

I’m wondering about this too.
It would be great to be able to select fan mode directly on the device. Also be able to check if the AC is on fan mode in Advanced Flow.

Here are the options I have to check the AC mode,
Auto, Heat, Cool, Off (Fan is missing)

I´m also missing fan level “Strong” everywhere in homey.

New update (TEST 1.20.1)

Changes include

  • ADD: Support additional modes for Sensibo such as dry and fan modes.

This will introduce a change to the modes available on Sensibo devices. It is now dynamically updated based on what the device reports it support. So those devices that has dry or fan modes available will get them in addition to the Homey defaults.

Please keep an eye on translations for the mode capability and related flow cards.

If you find any issues, send a report via the mobile homey app

Hello I would like to feature request for Homey pro to be able to change Climate React setting please.

As of right now only can turn on and off the climate react can not change any setting

All (Inverter type) mini split have problem with reaching to set temperature target fast
for example
at 1PM 100F outside if set temp to 76F. mini split it will take around 1-3hr to reach to set temperature.
but if set temp to 62F. mini split it will run only around 5-10mn to reach to set temperature.

Climate React feature help me solve a problem
I set
when temp goes above 76F set temp to 62F to reach set temp fast
when temp goes below 76F set temp to 86F to stop running

It would be nice if Homey pro can set Sensibo Climate React
at 1PM
when temp goes above 76F set temp to 62F
when temp goes below 76F set temp to 86F
at 1AM
when temp goes above 79F set temp to 62F
when temp goes below 79F set temp to 86F

because at 1PM feels perfect for 76F and at 1AM 79F feels perfect
as of 76F is too cold at 1AM

This change Climate React setting feature is available on Sensibo app for pay subscription
but the down side is that you can not use Homey pro to double check if
at 1PM did the Climate React really set to 76F
or 1AM did the Climate React really set to 79F
because so many time the WiFi down or drop or power outage or power drop for a second
Sendibo will not work without connetion or will not control anything and when it reach 1PM or 1AM setthing did not trigger

I could use Homey to set the temp but the problem is the connection between Homey and Sensible is not working 100% of the time it more like 80%
for example Homey tell Sensibo set to 62F but Sensibo did not trigger.
and everytime when I want to change temp it’s so hard and many step because it’s in advance flow I have to use the web

right now I use Homey to turn on and off Sensible Climate react and let Sensibo Climate react control temp it working around 98% of the time
easier to change temp with Sensibo app

Thank you

I will need to check if the configuration changes to climate react are available in the Sensibo API.

Thank you for your fast respond

and thank you for your update to fixed the problems with temperature unit C or F


just general question are there a Homey zwave or zigbee device that can control mini split like Sensibo?

The only reason I bought 10 Swnsibo becuase it have to option to turn off LED (Light) of the mini split. if not turn off LED (Light) everytime Homey or Sensibo trigger mini split will beep. trust me very anoying. I cold take mini split apart and remove the beeper but it’s alot of work I have 10 units.

and without option to turn off LED (Light) everytime the mini split come on I have to manualy use it remote to turn off the LED (Light) but it’s alot of work I have 10 units.


I’ve tried- 6 device

ZXT-600 ZWAVE- no option to turn off LED (Light) - work with Homey

Cielo Breez wifi- no option to turn off LED (Light) - dont work with Homey

switch bot bluetooth connection not good - no option to turn off LED (Light) - work with Homey

other amazon Smart IR Air Conditioner wifi no option to turn off LED (Light) dont work with Homey

my mini split came with wifi control but no option to turn off LED (Light) dont work with Homey


problems that I have facing right now is that

Wifi devices

once in a while ( at least 1/ month) when Wifi connection drop for 1 second or power outage for 1 second even Homey and Sensibo showing online status but they are not sync to each other.

Even Sensibo it self will not trigger climate react preset if connection drop for 1 second leaving the room too hot or cold for hr before I reboot it.

When that happends I have to reboot Homey and Sensibo and reboot Climate react. I have 10 Sensibo so it means I have to do that 10 times when that happends. it very anoying.

I wish Sensibo is either zwave or zigbee or no need wifi connection to work it will fix all the problems.

or I wish ZXT-600 ZWAVE have option to turn off LED (Light)

I will give away 10 Sensibo air pro and swtich over to ZXT-600 in a heartbeat

so sorry about my long post but i’m pretty sure everyone have the same wish and problems like mine

Thank you have nice day

For this part I would suggest creating a separate topic as it is not related to the Sensibo app.

The beeping is part of the A/C unit itself, so even with it’s own remote control, they will beep. This is nothing anyone can do about it.
