Gateway installed, first feedback

epi

All components are installed and working.
I called Bastien yesterday and an update was pushed to my gateway.

Remarks after the first days (and after the update):

hail control works (test alarm raises the stores)
sun control seams to work as well
not enough wind to test that and currently nothing is set to react to rain 🙂

I configured a reading of the gateway sensors in my home assistant so that I can follow all day data and see how it works.

I have a few questions :

I see that there are 5 alarm groups :
- east, south, west trigger groups E, S and W
- what are groupes SE and SW for?
When I send the test hail signal (that correspond to a signal 2 on the meteo platform) the stores opened as expected but the state showed by the gateway was still 0, is that expected?
Along the day the sun alert cycled from EAST to WEST, but despite both SE and SW beeing enabled together for some time SOUTH was never enabled, how is that possible?

Cheers,
Enea

some thought :
It would be interesting to know how you the sun alarm flags are calculated:

what parameters are used (radiation, sun zenith/azimuth, temperature ?)
how they are accounted
and ultimately be able to tweak the equation, to match (this is just a wish/suggestion):
personal preferences 😀
house orientation (that will never be perfect with the cardinal points)

maybe the same configurability should apply to wind (but then for this I have no personal experience and you already have 2 channels for different settings.
