Oh, and since you asked, I think you want that condition to be that the door has been closed for the last hour. You can see an example on the ha condition page in the state section. Basically, it has been finished for 1 hour and the door hasn’t been opened in that time.
Thank you! First time I had used Home Assistant or Home Connect and this really helped me get started. My Bosch powers off 1 minute after Finished, so I just used from: Finished to: Inactive.
If you're running solar panels, run the dishwasher in peak output times. Yes you can set timer before you leave work but I forget to run DW and the weather can change. Just a thought for others
That's exactly what I use a switchbot on my 23yo Meile dishwasher. Once I have more than 2000W excess, it gives us a 25mins warning it's going to start (over google speakers) then off it goes by itself.
Hi, one suggestion to use HA with the dishwasher could be to "remote start" the washer when elecricity prices are at the lowest price. Thought to trigger it with the sensor of the trigger "Remote start on" and then maybe use "nordpool" integration (sweden) to use lowest price in a "magical" way 🙂
Thanks. Still helpful for the registration procedure. ;) on the api. The installation procedure is better now. I mostly interested in the remode start function. Better use of solar power.
You are most welcome mate. I have noticed lately the status that comes through to Home Assistant has changed too, so I need to adjust my integration as well. It works well though.
Saw this thumbnail in your presentation during Techorama last week and had to come check it out! Awesome channel. Happy to contribute to your goal of getting some more subs. :)
Thanks! But by the way, you can restart HA directly from the file editor, see the options under the settings menu (sprocket) in the upper right corner. Almost at the bottom of the menu you have the choice "Restart Hass".
Amazing, thank you so much for the " ". They have changed the guide page for the configuration with GUI (without touching the configuration.yaml) but it didn't work for me (same error as you got). I added it manually in the configuration.yaml and it worked for me.
The way to solve the door issue is to go with your original idea of a timer. When the dishwasher state trigger is fired, start a timer for your chosen duration. Then a second automation is needed to cancel the timer if the door is opened and the timer is still active. Lastly a third automation, which is triggered on timer finished, should send the notification. Simple!
Hi ! I’ve just bought a Siemens dishwasher and also integrated with Home Connect to Home Assistant, had no issue on configuration (I don’t add quotes on key and secrets, and just following the instructions). On the automation part : Why are you waiting for 1h after the end of the program and not trigger the notification immediately ? Why checking if the door is close ? EDIT : seen the video again and understood why, you want to send a notification only if the dishwasher hasn’t been emptied 1h after the program ends. BUT ! (There is always a but 😁) I personally didn’t check the Home Connect doc and just launch the dishwasher to examine the data retrieved into HA. Actually, there is a misunderstanding on the door state because it reports open/close and should be locked/unlocked, at least on my device it’s like this. When the program start the door reports to close, and when the program ends it reports to open. When I put dish on the washer by opening and closing the door, the state don’t change. That’s also why I got confused the first time I watched the video. I don’t know if your Bosh appliance reports the right data, but my Siemens one does not. Or it’s an HA bug. Can you tell me ? So I either fix the HA integration or contact the Siemens support. In my case I can’t do a system like yours because of this issue, but as I barely hear the end sound I’ll send a notification directly when the program ends (progress to 100%, state to inactive, or door to open then 😅) Thanks !
Also : I got confused because at the beginning of the video you were planning to built a pods counter with a counter decreasing automation and maybe something to refill, and I saw a notification when the program ends.
@@Quentame74 Thanks for your feedback. My door on the device is correctly showing closed/open, so this might be Siemens implementing the API differently. Initially I wanted to create a pod counter, but as I fiddled with the integration that changed. My videos are often not planned as much as me just filming what happens 😊
Is it possible to keep the device powered on all the time? My Bosh dishwasher disconnects from the network after a few minutes of inactivity so I cannot track its state... unless sending power on command from HA or press the physical button on the device. I'd like to run a similar notification to unload the dishes but it won't update the state when I open the door so it's useless :(
Yes, I have noticed mine power off as well. The odd thing is that it never loses connection with the Wifi according to my analytics, so it is a software thing. I will do some more digging on this, as it is annoying.
@@LarsKlintTech I came up with a partial solution. I use a motion sensor to track the occupancy of the kitchen so a simple automation triggers power on on the dishwasher when the motion is detected. I will consider to put a contact switch on the dishwasher door to power it up every time it is opened to be able to get current state. I might end up using just the switch, without powering up the actual device, because all I need is the door status for notifications with a reminder to unload/load the dishwasher.
Hello, did you both find a soltuon? I have a dishwasher and a dryer and both drops the wifi 5GHZ connection randomly during the day. I am an expert with networking and I couldn't find any soltuins. Logs show random patterns of disconnection (registering and de-registering to wifi). I tried everything and no solution other than the machines connect to wifi whenever they like in a completely random style. What a disappointment. My home is almost 100% smart but this was a total fail from Bosch.
At 6:12 in your video, you’ve successfully connected your dishwasher to the Home Connect app. Was it really that easy? I’ve connected my new Bosch dishwasher to my Home connect app, but it was a major pain. I had issues every step of the way, even though I’m familiar with techo things. I also set firewall rules in my router so I can access it remotely. The dishwasher stays connected to the Home Connect app for a short time, then continually tries to disconnect, connect, etc. it is disconnected 90% of the time. Is Home Connect really this bad? Or is it something I’ve done wrong in the setup? What is really annoying, it works perfectly for a while, then disconnects. If you or anyone else has any suggestions, I’d love to hear them!
To connect it was easy, yes. I have the same issue a lot of the time, especially when the power is off on the dishwasher. I am not sure why they would not let you connect just because the button isn't pressed. The thing is powered all the time! Whenever it is running it works perfectly, both in the Home Connect app and Home Assistant.
Sadly I have the exact same wifi drops issue with 2 new devices (Dryer Series 8 and The dishwasher). I kind of gave up finding a solution to keep them alive with wifi. Most of my home devices are smart and never drop a connection. Those 2 devices are having the highest QOS and Priorities in the network and they just decide to connect/disconnect randomly whenever they like. Total disappointment. I thought connecting the devices to HA would fix this issue (by sending endless packets 24/7) If there is a way for that 😏
@@Q8Webmaster Yeah, that is annoying. I had a firmware update recently to my Bosch and it seems to have made it connected more. I just tried again and it seems to connect just fine.
@@LarsKlintTech Thanks a lot for your quick reply. Maybe dumb question, but how did you find the new software ? The Home Connect App is not suggesting any software update in my case 😅 But Bosch claimed they would notify me 😄
Now all we need is Caroma to come up with a home connected toilet, then we can monitor the paper usage, water..... leaving the seat up... The ideas are limitless!. No Llamas, I'm sad. 😁
Hey, I got the same error message ("unauthorized_client"...) but I cannot find where I cannot figure it out how I could make the suggested changes in configuration.yaml. Can you help me out, please?
I just had the same problem. The application was upgraded (for the best), you don't need to do anything in config.yaml (I'm in the latest version for Hass). The redirect URl change too. Again, it's much easier to configure. Try to look for the Home Connect integration page on Home Assistant website. I had to wait though. The configuration on Home Connect was not instant. But it worked.
@@LarsKlintTech From what I saw in your video there some minor changes. You input your info directly when you install now (so no more quotation shenanigan). The URl was different for the callback too but I didn't change the default config for yaml compared to you. So maybe that was the reason for this one?
Same error cant figure out why, the home connect integration changed a lot since this video "error": "unauthorized_client", "error_description": "client or redirection URI not authorized"
Great video although I can not for the life of me get my dishwasher sensors to update. I get through all the install and it find the appliance in the intergration, but all the sensors just come up as unavailable. Anyone else overcome this issue?
@@LarsKlintTech No. All the switches are a listed in HA including Power but they don’t do anything when toggled. If I go to the Home Connect app I can control as normal.
@@marcportlock5747 Hmmm, right. I can toggle power in HA, and until the dishwasher is on, I don't get the other values. Have you tried removing the integration and adding it again? I am not really sure why you get nothing.
Hey, I'm done.. Please unstack me? When the cycle is done. Hey, I'm not fully unstacked? When the door was open then closed after the cycle was done a hour ago.
Hey Lars, glad to be following you on yet another platform! I’m kind of surprised, but not surprised to see you in this space. Anyway, how nuts is it we keep having to sign up for developer keys? I’m half convinced these are heading thru to charging us for this access, but damn, can’t they just let us get a key from their apps? - @tobin
Yeah, there are keys everywhere! There was a single app from memory that had the API key in it. Can't remember which one though.... 🤔🤔 Oh, and hi Tobin! 😁
Oh, and since you asked, I think you want that condition to be that the door has been closed for the last hour. You can see an example on the ha condition page in the state section. Basically, it has been finished for 1 hour and the door hasn’t been opened in that time.
Yeah, I think you are right. Logic is confusing 😛
Thank you! First time I had used Home Assistant or Home Connect and this really helped me get started. My Bosch powers off 1 minute after Finished, so I just used from: Finished to: Inactive.
Perfect. I think I might play with the states again too, so I can get even better automations 😁

Cool- I also count down the pods / tabs but I just use an energy monitoring plug for this -> no need for a WiFi capable dish washer
That is definitely also an option, but since I _had_ the WiFi connection... 😏
@@LarsKlintTech yeah definitely 👍🏻😊👍🏻
Thanks for explaining! Now I have my notifikations working!
Yay!! Go forth and ..... wash dishes?
@Lars Klint now I get notifications from dishwasher, washing machine and dryer! 👍
@@patriksretrotech Ohhh nice. Do you automate any flows with the notifications?
@Lars Klint just app push notifications when finished.
