      To answer my own question, no, Python isn't required. I think it's for plugins.

      Anyway, delighted with the little gadget. Struggling a bit with Domoticz but that's off topic for this thread

        What other ones are there?

          Feel free to start a new thread about Evohome and Domoticz, either here or on the Domoticz Evohome subforum.

            What's fantastic is that (so far) nobody has had a problem with the SSM or SSM-D

              And I'm keen to hear of anyone trying to extend the functionality of their SSM-D

                So much to do, so little time. But just you wait, come Oct, everyone will be tinkering with this.

                  I can't fault the device it worked straight away. I have disabled it for now though and gone back to the api method.

                  No doubt it will come in handy when Honeywell decide to mess about with their servers again this winter.

                    Same here, SSM working beautifully, but I've dumped the API method (in Domoticz) in favour of using the SSM to keep everything local. The API was so unreliable that I couldn't wait to stop using it as soon as my SSM arrived. Being able to track heat demand for each zone is really useful.

                      The API has been playing nice for me since the last time Honeywell messed with the servers. I am trying the SSM-D with home assistant at the moment and it pulls a lot more sensors, just trying to figure out how to match them up.

                          Mine arrived last week. Thank's for the fast delivery.
                          All fitted to my Raspberry Pi and working well.
                          Thanks for all your time and effort in making this possible.

                            I don't suppose anyone has a dummys guide to setting up Home Assistant on a Raspberry Pi 3b using the evofw3

                            Getting Domoticz working on the Pi was a breeze.... but Home Assistant however is

                              Just to say that I've managed to get Home Assistant working on the Raspberry Pi 3b using the evofw3.

                              For the umpteeeeeenth time I did a fresh install on the sd card and followed all the instructions at
                              https://github.com/zxdavb/evohome_cc/wiki/3.-Installation

                              But once again it was nada / ziltch / nuffing

                              So what was the secret of my success you may well ask.....

                              In /config/configuration.yaml I used
                              evohome_cc: serial_port: /dev/ttyACM0
                              packet_log: packet.log

                              Instead using of the stated serial_port: /dev/ttyUSB0

                              Restarted the core and packet.log started to fill with entries
                              Went to "https://github.com/zxdavb/evohome_cc/wiki/Lovelace-customized-cards-for-evohome_cc" and added the 2 lovelace modules
                              without doing anything else the dashboard worked.

                              Sure as with everything there will be some tweaking required, but for now I'm now a happy bunny.

                                Yes the SSM shows up as ACM0 due to the way the Atmel drivers work. The MCU used in the SSM no longer needs a separate Serial to USB interface, which generally announces itself as a USB0.
