## Installation

### HACS (Recommended)

1. Open HACS in Home Assistant
2. Go to "Integrations"
3. Click the three dots menu -> "Custom repositories"
4. Add this repository: `https://github.com/MSDATDE/homeassistant-vevor-heater`
5. Category: "Integration"
6. Click "Add"
7. Search for "Diesel Heater" and install
8. Restart Home Assistant

### Manual Installation

1. Download the latest release from [GitHub](https://github.com/MSDATDE/homeassistant-vevor-heater/releases)
2. Copy the `custom_components/diesel_heater` folder to your Home Assistant's `custom_components` directory
3. Restart Home Assistant

> **Note:** If upgrading from v1.x (`vevor_heater` domain), the integration will automatically migrate your configuration and entities to the new `diesel_heater` domain.

## Finding Your Heater's MAC Address

Before adding the integration, you need to find your heater's Bluetooth MAC address:

1. Install Python dependencies:
   ```bash
   pip install bleak
   ```

2. Copy `find_heater.py` to a temporary directory (do NOT run it from the integration folder):
   ```bash
   cp find_heater.py /tmp/
   cd /tmp
   python3 find_heater.py before
   ```

3. **Close the heater app** if it's running

4. Open the heater app and **connect** to your heater

5. Run the finder script again:
   ```bash
   python3 find_heater.py after
   ```

6. The device that **disappeared** is your heater! Note its MAC address (e.g., `69:96:19:04:59:9B`)

## Configuration

### Add Integration

1. Go to **Settings** -> **Devices & Services**
2. Click **"+ Add Integration"**

- **command** - Command number (0-255)
- **argument** - Argument value (-128 to 127)

## Troubleshooting

### Heater Not Found

- Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your Home Assistant host
- Ensure the heater is powered on
- Heater app must be **disconnected** (only one BLE connection allowed)
- If using ESPHome Bluetooth Proxy, ensure it has available connection slots (max 3)

### No Data / Connection Issues

- Check Home Assistant logs: **Settings** -> **System** -> **Logs**
- Look for entries with `diesel_heater`
- The integration uses exponential backoff and stale data tolerance (3 cycles)

### Commands Not Working

- Verify you're using the correct PIN (default: `1234`)
- Some commands only work in specific modes:
  - Temperature setting: Temperature Mode
  - Level setting: Level Mode

### Debug Logging

Enable debug logging in `configuration.yaml`:

```yaml
logger:
  default: info
  logs:
    custom_components.diesel_heater: debug
    diesel_heater_ble: debug
```

## Protocol Details

This integration uses the [diesel-heater-ble](https://pypi.org/project/diesel-heater-ble/) library for protocol handling.

### Commands
- Command 1: Status query
- Command 2: Set running mode
- Command 3: Turn ON (arg=1) / OFF (arg=0)
- Command 4: Set level or temperature
- Command 10: Sync time
- Command 14: Set language
- Command 15: Set temperature unit
- Command 16: Set tank volume
- Command 17: Set pump type
- Command 18: Set auto start/stop
- Command 19: Set altitude unit
