pimatic-tado new plugin for tado

---

Hi all

I recently got into the rpi and pimatic stuff. Now I missed having my tado connected to pimatic.

So I made my first plugin. this is my first try on Coffeescript/node.js, although I had some experience with java /C++

Could someone take a peek at the code, I am not entirely sure I am using promises in the right way.

I have one problem, when changing the config of plugin via the web interface , I need the init to run again to retry a login to the tado api. Is there any listener for that?

Plugin can be found here:
https://github.com/TH1485/pimatic-tado

Currently supports humidity and temperature sensors for all zones, zones can be found with the discover functionality of the web interface

Thanks

Do you mean “changing the config of a device”? If you change plugin settings pimatic need to be restarted anyway. Only device can be configured dynamically

Ok then it is not possible, without a restart. Opening a session with tado per device, seems a bit too much. However I don’t get a message from the UI to restart when I change the config. Is this configurable?

I’ve added presence ability, it can show the relativeDistance (in and presence of each user.

Thx a lot for your efforts !! Appreciate it 😀
Please keep your plugin maintained and updated

Hi,
is someone still using this plug-in? Does it work with tado v3+?

EDIT: Seems not to work anymore!

Did you register the device and checked the client secret?

I went through the really short description, there wasn’t any hint for register something or a client secret

The tado plugins use a client_secret. I found some info on how to check what the client-secret is and how to check the value; https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2019/02/tado-api-guide-updated-for-2019/
The client_secret mentioned in this post is also used in pimatic-tado.
After you login via https://my.tado.com/webapp , you can check if the client_secret is still the value from the post.

As I can see it is still the same!

Ok, that fine. If you switched the debug on in the plugin, is there any debug info?
And i assume the Tado app is working?

The Tado app is working fine. The plugin is shown as active, but the device seems to be faulty. It contains no information. I create it manually. Via UI it is not possible.

The pimatic discovery doesn’t give any devices?

Unfortunately no. This was the first thing I have tried.

The device config should ask also for ‘zone’ and ‘interval’. It seems the plugin is not active.

As I can see it is:

But with the hint “compability unknown”. The system is a playground. Clean standard installation with only this extra plugin

Ok, try to add in config.json the 2 values in the device config
"zone" : 1,
“interval” : 120000

If so change also in package.json

  "engines": {
    "node": "4.6.2",
    "npm": "2.15.11"

to

  "engines": {
    "node": ">=4.6.2",
    "npm": ">=2.15.11"

It removes the compatibility message and you can see if the plugin is loaded.
Assuming that the plugin is compatible

The config is already there.

I changed the engine, but “compatibility unknown” is still there after restart of the service, crazy…

No debug at all, but following error comes up when I save the device:

2020-12-26 20:03:53 error [pimatic-mobile-frontend]: Client error: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'match' of undefined

If you clear the cache and save the device again?
