Introduction
The Sensibo driver from Smart Home Programming and Automation brings almost any infrared air conditioner into RTI through a Sensibo Sky, Air or Air Pro pod. It controls up to 8 pods on one Sensibo account through the Sensibo Cloud API: power, mode, fan speed, swing, setpoint and Climate React, with room temperature and humidity feedback.
The driver also hosts a thermostat page on the RTI processor that can be dropped onto any panel page as a Web Object, or opened from a phone or tablet on the local network.
Important Note
This driver needs an internet connection on the RTI processor and a Sensibo account with an API key. The pods are controlled through Sensibo's cloud, not over the local network. If the Sensibo service or the site's internet is down, control and feedback stop until it returns.
Driver Features
- Up to 8 pods from one Sensibo account, each matched to a unit by its room name in the Sensibo app.
- Power, mode, fan, swing, setpoint and Climate React control per unit, or for the Selected Unit.
- Room temperature and humidity feedback for every unit.
- Selected Unit - every function defaults to the currently selected unit, and its state is mirrored to the Sel... variables, so one thermostat page can serve every room.
- Standard RTI thermostat tags (Stat Cool, Stat Heat, Stat Setpoint and so on) so RTI climate templates autoprogram.
- Mode and fan booleans for highlighting the active button.
- Command-pending and rate-limit feedback so a "please wait" layer can be shown while a command is on its way.
- Web Object thermostat hosted on the processor (default port 8090): drag the setpoint on the dial, pick mode and fan, toggle Climate React and power. Colours can be changed per panel.
- Events for power, mode, fan, setpoint, swing, temperature, humidity, Climate React, connection and errors.
Supported Devices
Sensibo Sky, Sensibo Air and Sensibo Air Pro pods registered to a Sensibo account. The pod drives the air conditioner by infrared, so any air conditioner the Sensibo app can control works the same way through RTI. Modes, fan speeds, swing positions and the setpoint range are read from each pod, so only what that air conditioner supports is offered.
System Requirements
- Integration Designer - 11.4 or above
- RTI processor - XP-8 class (XP-3 / XP-6 / XP-6s / XP-8 / XP-8s / XP-8v)
- Processor script runtime - 24 or above
- Internet access from the processor to home.sensibo.com (HTTPS, port 443)
- A Sensibo account with an API key
Cloud services this driver uses
- Sensibo Cloud API (home.sensibo.com) - required. The driver sends the account API key with every request, reads the list of pods and each pod's state (air conditioner settings, room temperature and humidity, capabilities, Climate React), and sends your commands (power, mode, fan, swing, setpoint, Climate React on/off). Nothing else is sent.
- Smart Home Programming remote logging (shpdrivers.services) - optional and OFF by default. Only when Enable Remote Logging is turned on (or the Remote Logging On function is run), the driver's log lines are sent with the processor MAC address and driver version so support can watch the driver live. Turn it off again with Remote Logging Off.
Limitations
- Control is through the Sensibo cloud: it needs internet access and is subject to Sensibo's API rate limits. If Sensibo answers "too many requests", the driver waits and retries, and Rate Limited shows true meanwhile.
- The pod sends infrared, so it cannot read back what the air conditioner is really doing. Feedback is what the pod last sent, so a change made with the air conditioner's own remote may not be seen.
- Feedback updates at the poll interval (default 90 seconds) and straight after a command. Changes made in the Sensibo app appear on the next poll.
- Sensibo does not report outdoor temperature; Stat Temp Out shows the room temperature.
- The Web Object page is for the local network only.
