Describe the solution you'd like

Please create a sensor indicating a Quatt is powered off; in case of a Quatt Duo 1 sensor for each Quatt.

I have a Quatt Duo and ran into a strange problem. One of the Quatt had a power problem. The Quatt was off. The CIC thought it was 0 degrees outside and that the water temperature was 0 degrees. As a result the CV was switched on by the CIC for half a day. It was 26 degrees inside. The CIC as well as the App did not indicate the Quatt had a problem. I have ask Quatt to enhance the error handling.

If required I could supply more info.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I could create a sensor myself, however when included in Quatt Integration everybody can benefit.

Currently there is a workingMode sensor for each Quatt. Which is 0 for off or 2 for on. I'll think about adding a binary sensor as well since it isn't hard to do

Marco, That is good to hear. FYI the value for the Workingmode sensor was not 0 during power off. In HA the sensor showed 'Onbekend'. Verzonden vanaf mijn Galaxy

I am using this Card on my Lovelace home screen to alert me if the Quatt is not online. Using this card will do nothing until the Quatt is not found and when not found it will show an error message.

Was it a connection issue? Did other sensors show unavailable as well?

[N1ckXL]

It was a connection issue between Quatt and CIC. The Quatt API presented data as displayed in screen prints:

[marcoboers]

Thanks that is helpful! I have not experienced this. But I'll see if I can mock that state (if by any chance you also have the feed JSON from moment that would be helpful as well).

[N1ckXL]

Sorry, I didn't save the JSON.

Sensors like "WorkingMode" had a value of "Onbekend" in HA during the power down period of HP1.

My guess is that "WorkingMode" must have a value of 0 or 2. Otherwise there is an issue.
