The `geniushub` integration links Home Assistant with your Genius Hub CH/DHW system, including its zones, devices, and issues.
It uses the [geniushub](https://pypi.org/project/geniushub-client/) client library, which provides data compatible with the v1 API that _may not_ necessarily match that of the official Web App.

### Zones
Each zone controlled by your Genius Hub will be exposed as either a:
- `Climate` entity, for **Radiator** and **Wet Underfloor** Zones, and
- `Water Heater` entity, for **Hot Water Temperature** Zones
- `Climate` entity, for **Radiator** and **Wet Underfloor** zones, and
- `Water Heater` entity, for **Hot Water Temperature** zones and
- `Switch` entity, for **On/Off** zones
Other zone types, such as **On/Off** zones, are not currently supported (although see `Binary Sensor`s, below).
**Group** zones are not supported.
Each entity derived from a GH zone will report back its mode, setpoint and current temperature; other properties are available via its attributes (see below). The zone's mode can be changed as below.
Currently, there is no support for altering zone schedules, although entities can be switched to/from geniushub modes that utilize schedules.
There are limitations due to the differences between the Genius Hub and Home Assisatnt schemas (e.g. HA has no **Footprint** mode) - see below for more details.
### Climate and Water Heater Entities
Climate and Water Heater entities will report their current temperature, setpoint and mode; other properties (e.g. occupied state) are available via their state attributes (see examples below). The Genius Hub mode will be reported as/set to:
GH mode | HA Operation | HA Preset

Currently, there is no support for reading/altering zone schedules, although a zone can be switched to/from modes that utilize schedules.
### Switch Entities
Switch entities will report back their state; other properties are available via their state attributes. Currently, HA switches do not have modes/presets, so the Home Assistant state will be reported as:
- `On` for **Override** \ **On**, and
- `Off` otherwise (NB: the zone could still be 'on', e.g. with **Timer** mode)
If you turn a Switch entity `Off` via HA, it will revert to **Timer** mode.
### Devices

Each Device controlled by your Genius Hub will be exposed as either a:
- `Sensor` entity with a % battery, for any Device with a battery (e.g., a Genius Valve), or
- `Binary Sensor` entity with on/off state for any Device that is a switch (e.g., Smart Plugs, DCRs)
Each such entity will report back its primary state and `assigned_zone`. If the Hub is directly polled using Option 1 (see below), then some additional attributes such as `last_comms` (last communications time) are also available.
