Eve app refresh rate

[kimme1024]

Hi,

I have this strange issue that when I check my temperature via home-app it gives me the correct and actual room temperature but when I use my Eve-app (which I use instead of home-app) it doesn't seem to refresh the current temperature often enough to be reliable.

Also in homekit the current temperature is shown on the tile and I can check the requested temperature when pressing on it. In the Eve-app it's the other way around so I can only see my requested temperature while I have to long press the tile to check my current temperature (which obviously isn't current as explained above)

Any ideas on this?

A couple of months ago I also requested fakegato support so I can check a graph of my temperature data in the Eve-app. That would be another great addition to this plugin I really love to use.

Thanks in advance and keep up the great work!

Not sure how I can help, the problems seem to be with the Eve app :)

Fakegato support is something I might look in to in the future, but at the moment I'm afraid I'm very busy with other project :(

Ok, thanks for the quick reply.

I'll try to find another solution for it then.

Fakegato would be very nice! I'm looking forward to it if you'd have time to implement it!

Thanks in advance!

As I was fiddling around with anther project I found out what caused the issue here.
In Eve the thermostat plugin is viewed as a thermostat knob on the radiator itself instead of the main thermostat.
That's why the temperatures are displayed incorrectly and the refresh interval is very long.

In my other project I fixed this by separating the temperature sensor with the settings (via MQTT).

Now is the question if it would be possible to add an option in the config-file to display the current temperature in a separate tile? This would solve the issue completely.

Example in MQTTThing:

Instead of type: thermostat this is type: temperatureSensor in which you just get the value for getCurrentTemperature.

With this the ambient temperature is refreshed every second.
In MQTTThing it's also possible to have the fakegato support via the "history" option.

I hope this might be implemented in the future.

PS:

I contacted Eve about this and they escalated it to their developers but I don't think this will be fixed soon...
