Incomplete integration of the Levoit Vital 100S air purifier

[jhmc3]

The problem

Change #101273 added support for the Levoit Vital 100S air purifier via the VeSync integration. However, this integration was incomplete as it only covers the US model (model ID "LAP-V102S-WUS") of the product. The same product sold elsewhere in the world (e.g. in Europe, model ID "LAP-V102S-WEU") is still not recognised. Change #101273 did not consider the model ID pattern as used for the other Levoit products (i.e. with the different region codes appended to the base model ID), which are correctly implemented in the VeSync integration.

Please add the other regional models of the Levoit Vital 100S air purifier. Alternatively, only consider the base model ID to identify the model (i.e. "LAP-V102S" for the Levoit Vital 100S) and ignore the variant part of the model ID (e.g. "-WUS", "-WEU").

same problem

me 2 but as soon as i edited the file in HA adding the definition of the german/euw model it worked instantly. let's hope for a fast HA integration :)

original source already fixed it, just need to wait for the HA devs to integrate the update as i understood the way HA works :)

[harvindhillon]

Seems like it didnt make it in the last few releases. Any chance of sharing the workaround? I have a few of these, would be good to get them integrated within HA.

where or how exactly can we find and change the file?

temporary fix

Steps

1. install the ssh plugin for hassio or use another way to connect to your HA machine
2. connect to the server (as shown as first command in 1st screenshot) ssh root@<YOUR-HA-IP-ADDRESS>
3. switch to the HA container (2nd command in 1st screenshot) docker exec -t -i homeassistant /bin/bash
4. cd to the plugin's directory (1st command in 2nd screenshot) cd ./usr/src/homeassistant/homeassistant/components/vesync
5. edit the file const.py with VI and save it (VI tutorials can be found elsewhere) vi const.py
6. restart your HA appliance.

Notes

Its restart but not update safe. No one knows if and when the source will be ported to HA, the source already contains the new devices. You can update and redo the procedure or check the new source code beforehand. Other device strings need to be recovered from here If you have any questions reach out to me on discord (1nsTommy) or here.

Cya!

@sossnat I tried your workaround and it "works" - thanks for that. One thing I do miss in comparison to my Core 300S are the individual speed setting and all sensors (air quality, pm2.5, filter lifetime, ... etc. Are they shown in your home assistant or am I missing something?

[PapiOrtiz]

Hi @mike391 Hope you had a happy new year & everything is well. Only @ ing you because you helped with the last issue regarding the Vital100S. Not sure if the actual issue from this post was resolved, but I was more curious regarding the last comment.

One thing I do miss in comparison to my Core 300S are the individual speed setting and all sensors (air quality, pm2.5, filter lifetime, ... etc.

Is this something capable of being added to the Vital100S?

Thanks again

[sossnat]

Hi there,

i only got one entity, a fan out of it. Although the modes like sleep and so on are working i wondered too about the sensor reading but i guess it's only internal, pushing out the level as very good/good/... to the app. The modes also work like configured in the app. Would be nice to see if it works, for testing the original source (which i linked) could be tested with python, a simple print would do the trick to see if the reading comes back with the api request or not, if so we just need to deal with it... Could test this on the weekend.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen aus Zwickau / With best regards from Zwickau

Appreciate it! It would help to eliminate me needing to buy more Ikea air readers (even though I probably will).

[jkossis]

Similar to @Oxydation and @sossnat, I only get a a fan entity, and not the usual suite of entities (fan, filter lifetime, air quality, etc.) Is this expected?

When downloading the device's diagnostics (through home-assistant), I do see this information (and more) under the data.details section, so I don't think it is an issue with the data not being returned.

Unfortunately I have since upgraded to a 200s. I can make the changes for the 100s if you send me a log of the data returned by the 100s but I will need someone with a 100s to test the changes.

[Oxydation]

To speed it up a little I extracted the requested diagnose log (removed custom components and other unrelated stuff):

vesync_Levoit_100S_c7ba.json

[Oxydation]

Update: I'm not sure but think so, that this PR is intended to add sensor functionality to the Levoit 100S: https://github.com/home-assistant/core/pull/107812 So probably this is going into HA soon.

I guess we only need the EU model to be added, the rest will come automatically.

[8bitbanger]

Hiya @mike391 - do you happen to have a 200S-specific integration in the works? Stumbled on this issue as I own a 200S also.

[jkossis]

@mike391 I should have been more specific, I actually am having this issue (only getting a fan entity) with my 200s. Happy to provide my device diagnostics.

Anyway to help push this along? I see @relaytheurgency started it, but it looks stalled out. Also, jkossis gas been trying to push it along, but no answer.

[relaytheurgency]

I'm fine with someone adding to the pr. I have had some other stuff on my plate, switching jobs, and haven't circled back. I also don't have the other purifier to validate the proposed change is functional.

I created a PR to add this functionality: https://github.com/home-assistant/core/pull/111017

[PapiOrtiz]

Looks like you only have 1 review pending for it to become accepted. Appreciate the time spent & support on this @jkossis

[PapiOrtiz]

I saw that the new feature was merged into development - but the new sensor entities haven't appeared. Is there something to do in order to enable the sensors?

[datcomputerguy]

I think this is a similar issue, but it appears that the Pet mode does not function correctly for the Vital 100S or Vital 200S. I have looked into the logs I have been able to find but don't see any errors. Also "auto" mode seems to change the mode to "default" in the app and not "auto". This might be a limitation of pyvesync or the available api?

[klevin92]

should be fixed by https://github.com/home-assistant/core/pull/115948.

[christhealien]

I'd like to add Japan model please, LAP-V102S-WJP.

V/r

[Fotokroth]

Unfortunately, LAP-V102S-WEU is still not recognized.

[harvindhillon]

Yea for now I have used a homebridge plugin to bring it into Home Assistant. Works great and pulls in the Air Quality sensors as well as controls for the display, fan speed.

[Fotokroth]

@harvindhillon, hello, how did you transfer the plugin to HA? That probably requires a running instance of a Homebridge server?

[harvindhillon]

@Fotokroth, yea correct, I have a running homebringe instance in my homelab for testing mostly and for my Dreo fans.

Its only a workaround
