In menu "HA discovery" Unit of Measure for some values are missing. #327
Description
In menu "HA discovery", when selecting Advanced Mode.
You can see the defaults settings for the HA (Home Assistant) Names and the Unit of Measurement (UoM) and edit these if needed.
For several values, there is, with the default settings, no UoM is indicated
For these values you see in Home Assistant, when you look at the history, a color bar with all the values as separate colors. This is OK for discrete values like Faninfo (showing high, low etc level) with approx 5 possible values, however less ideal for "analog" values like temperature and humidity, where you would prefer a graph.
I have manually added the UoM for the values I am interested in, having them set by default, would be more convenient.
For Itho CVE-S Optima 2, values with missing UoMs are:
- temp: Uom = ⁰C
- hum: Uom = %
- ppmw: Uom = ppm (weight) # Assume this are parts per milion water in 1 kg of air, also known as Static Humidity, if so mg/kg would also be correct.
- RelativeHumidity: Uom = %
- Temperature: Uom = ⁰C
Off-topic: ppmw value is probably used by Itho box to regulate fanspeed for humidity, see under Itho settings: "Rise in absolute humidity (X) at which it goes to high (mg_kg)".
Nit picking:
Absolute humidity (AH) is actually: weight of water in m³ of air
Static humidity (SH) is: weight of water in 1 kg of air
AH not influence by air-temperature vs RH very much influenced by air-temperature
SH is also not influence on air pressure so most suitable/stable to monitor the actual water content in de air.
