*** PLEASE NOTE *** If you are moving from another Netatmo weather plugin it is strongly recommended that you delete/rename old weather devices in Indigo AND delete the preference file for the old plugin before running this plugin. This helps avoid problems with creation of new weather devices. New users should be aware that old devices may have dependencies which will be lost when the devices are deleted, so it may be advisable to rename these devices first, and delete them only when dependencies have been transferred to the new devices.

Due to changes in the Netatmo API authentication method this plugin now requires an up to date Indigo reflector.

The plugin supports Netatmo weather stations, cameras, doorbells, smoke detectors, Heathy Home monitors, thermostats and TRVs.

Weather Station: creates an Indigo device for each weather station module. Also supports third-party stations set up as favourites in your Netatmo account.

Welcome Camera: creates a device for each camera. Also creates a variable for each person previously set up in the Netatmo mobile app and sets each to 'Home' or 'Away'. An additional 'Occupants' variable specifies the total number of persons currently 'Home'. Device states include 'last event' text and 'last event' time, so in addition to creating triggers when someone arrives 'Home' you can also trigger on things like 'Unknown face seen'.

Presence Camera: currently basic support due to limited API.

Smoke detector: currently basic support due to limited API.

Doorbell: currently basic support due to limited API.

Healthy Home: each measurement is copied to a device state.

Thermostats and TRVs: full support.

NOTE THAT THE PLUGIN CREATES ALL DEVICES; IT IS NOT NECESSARY FOR YOU TO DO SO.

Changes in this release

Netatmo have withdrawn the authorisation method used by the old plugin. The new plugin will work the same as the old one except for the authorisation process. If you're already running the plugin and you install this update you shouldn't notice a difference, but if you're installing it for the first time, or you've installed it after the expiration of your Netatmo tokens, you'll have to use the new authorisation method.

As before, you'll need a Netatmo developer account, where you create an app to obtain a Client ID and a Client Secret.

Authorisation can only be done from the Indigo server machine, and now requires a working Indigo Reflector and REST API KEY.

Once you have started the plugin it will open a web browser showing your Netatmo developer page, where you must authorise the plug to access your Netatmo data. Once you have done this you can close the browser. Keep an eye on the Indigo event log to see what's going on.

Requirements

Indigo Reflector and REST API key.

Release details
Released on: Aug. 27, 2022
Requires: Indigo v2022.1.0+
Changes in this release

Weekly limescale protection scheduling has been replaced by limescale protection actions which can be used by Indigo schedules. This allows more flexible scheduling of limescale protection.

Note that if you currently have weekly limescale protection enabled you will need to create an Indigo schedule to do this, or it will no longer happen.

Release details
Released on: Aug. 11, 2022
Requires: Indigo v2022.1.0+
Changes in this release

Add support for Netatmo Doorbell. This functionality requires an Indigo Reflector, as it uses webhooks.

The use of webhooks also allows faster responses to camera events, so I've added movement detector icons to the camera devices.

Requirements

Up to date Indigo Reflector account

Increase default timeout for API responses from 10 secs to 20 secs to cater for times when Netatmo server response is slow. The 10 second timeout was sometimes resulting in missed updates.

Release details
Released on: May 7, 2021
Requires: Indigo v7.0.2 thru v2022.2
Changes in this release

Released on: Jan. 25, 2021
Requires: Indigo v7.0.2 thru v2022.2
Changes in this release

Fix processing of multiple weather stations with same owner. This necessitated changing the address nomenclature for weather station modules.

*** PLEASE NOTE *** Before installing this release it is necessary to delete or rename all existing weather station modules (but not stations) with addresses starting 'WSM' to allow creation of new modules with a revised address nomenclature. Failure to do this will result in 'name not unique' errors. Note that any renamed devices will no longer be updated.
