[Device Request] about homebridge-levoit-humidifiers

[jarvismeier]

Device is discovered however there are some inconsistencies with accessories and a few other quirks.  I’ll manually go through each feature in the app and record what the debug picks up when it queries the humidifier.  I’ll post my results here.Jarvis MeierSent from my iPhoneOn Dec 18, 2023, at 11:04 PM, Paul Schroeder ***@***.***> wrote: @eoddc5 @jarvismeier Please try 1.9.2-beta1.

That worked! Thanks for all the hard work. It’s much appreciated.

Hey @jarvismeier, I can take a look at this over the weekend. Thanks for the logs!

[eoddc5]

+1 on this request @pschroeder89 - would be cool to see this.

just got this from VeSync to test out and would love to add it to HomeKit. thanks!

@eoddc5 @jarvismeier Please try 1.9.2-beta1. There should not be a cool mist slider for this model, it will only support "auto" mode.

[jarvismeier]

This is how your functionality works right now.
power: On/off works.
Current humidity: reads accurately.
Mist slider: will auto switch to manual mode and adjust the fan speed accordingly.
Humidity set point slider: will adjust humidity only if set to humidity mode in the Levoit app.
Other on/off switch: when on switches to sleep mode. When switch off it does nothing.

I’ve been looking at the logs and have skimmed the following when adjusting settings in the vesync app

workMode: is used for the current mode (autoPro, sleep, manual, humidity)
powerSwitch: turn on or off the device (0, 1)
targethumidity: humidity set point for humidity mode (30 to 80)
mistLevel: fan speed in manual and humidity modes (1 to 9)

I’ve attached more log screen shots.

Thanks so much for the detailed logs! I have some changes ready to go that I think might help the issues you brought up.

Question:
What is the difference between Humidity and AutoPro modes?
It looks like Humidity works like Auto works on other models, where you set the target humidity and it turns off once it reaches that level.

[pschroeder89]

1.9.2-beta4 is up with a bunch of fixes.

1. Mist slider: The mist slider was not supposed to be visible for this model, so that was bug number 1. I'm also unsure why it was working for you, it should be following the new API structure that I haven't been able to figure out. The good news is that someone discovered the correct API structure to get it working, so now in beta3 it's supposed to be visible. If it breaks things, I'll revert to the previous implementation, but I'll be confused about it lol.
2. Humidity slider: The slider should now enable Humidity mode as well as control the target humidity.
3. Sleep mode: Using the sleep switch should now turn on Sleep Mode and when turned off, go to Auto mode. It might be better to set this to Humidity mode instead of Auto mode, but I'll wait to see your response of what Auto mode does on this model.

[jarvismeier]

thanks for the changes. autoPro mode dynamically selects the best humidity level based on the current detected room temperature. It also dynamically adjusts the fan level. It’ll spin down as it gets closer to the ideal humidity level. In humidity mode the fan level is a static set value.

[pschroeder89]

@eoddc5 @jarvismeier Ok I made an additional change and would appreciate some testing of the 1.9.2-beta6 version when you have time.

• AutoPro mode is now a separate switch. It can be exposed from the config or in the Homebridge plugin UI. It will switch from AutoPro mode (on) to Manual mode (off).

Thanks!

Edit: Also, make sure to remove the accessory from cache in your Homebridge settings, first, otherwise you may see 2 mist sliders.

[jarvismeier]

Thanks for the update. It mostly works well except for the AutoPro switch. Turning it on engages AutoPro Mode but turning it off does nothing. From how the sleep switch works each mode seems to require its own switch. A manual mode would require a separate switch. Other than that small issue everything else works.

[pschroeder89]

Hmm, when you turn on and off AutoPro from HomeKit, does the VeSync app stay on AutoPro mode? It should switch to Manual mode and the mist level should be the previous mist level.

I'll double check my logic in the code, too. Edit: The code looks ok, but maybe you can share your device with my account so I can debug? My email is [email protected] if you want to do that

[jarvismeier]

When switching it to off nothing is logged and it immediately goes back to showing on. VeSync doesn’t show anything either.

i’ve shared the device. Let me know when you are done and I’ll remove the share.

[pschroeder89]

I didn't get the share invite, but I did find a piece of wrong logic that I fixed. Can you try again with beta7?
If that doesn't work, please try to revoke the share and then try again with the email in a downcased format like [email protected].
Thanks!
