E1 TRV - Home Assistant

Hi,

I have just retrofitted my suite of radiators with the TRV E1’s

I can add them to home Assistant easy enough as individual Zigbee devices - but sure I’ve seen a video / blog somewhere with a nice dash of all the trvs and adjustments and automations.

Can’t for the life of me find it now though.

Has anyone got any links to integrations?

@woody Hi there!

It’s great to hear that you’ve successfully retrofitted your radiators with the TRV E1s and integrated them into Home Assistant. While I don’t have a specific video or blog link handy, I can share some insights on integrating Aqara devices like the TRV E1 with Home Assistant.

For a more robust integration, you can use a third-party Zigbee coordinator such as ConBee II or a Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle. This method allows you to connect your Aqara Zigbee devices directly to Home Assistant, offering greater flexibility for automation and device management. Here’s a brief overview of the steps:

  1. Install the ZHA (Zigbee Home Automation) or Zigbee2MQTT integration in Home Assistant.
  2. Utilize a compatible Zigbee coordinator to pair your TRV E1s directly with Home Assistant.

This setup not only eliminates the need for an Aqara Hub but also enables integration with Zigbee devices from other brands, providing a comprehensive dashboard and automation capabilities.

If you’re looking for specific dashboards or automation ideas, I recommend exploring the Home Assistant community forums or YouTube for user-created content and tutorials. There’s a wealth of information out there from other users who have customized their setups.

Feel free to ask if you have further questions or need assistance with specific configurations. Happy automating!
