## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Accessing the local device
|
||||
|
||||
If you need to configure the gateway directly, without using the Plugwise App, you can find the link to your device by:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Go to {% my integrations title="**Settings** > **Devices & services**" %}, and select your integration.
|
||||
2. If you have more than one Plugwise gateway, select the one to configure.
|
||||
3. Select the gateway device, this should be called 'Adam', 'Stretch' or contain 'Smile' in its name.
|
||||
4. On the integration entry, choose to open the configuration URL left of the {% icon "mdi:dots-vertical" %} icon.
|
||||
5. A new window/tab will open, enter 'smile' (or 'stretch') as the username and the ID, from the sticker on the back, as the password.
|
||||
6. Consult the manual or click the 'search' button on the [Plugwise Support](https://plugwise.com/support/) page for interactive help.
|
||||
|
||||
### Adjusting the update interval
|
||||
|
||||
Please note that the [default intervals](#data-updates) are considered best practice and according to how Plugwise normally updates their data. Updating too frequently may induce considerable load on your gateway(s) resulting in unexpected results or missing data.
|
||||
|
||||
{% include common-tasks/define_custom_polling.md %}
|
||||
|
||||
### Diagnostic data
|
||||
|
||||
If you need to create an issue to report a bug or want to inspect diagnostic data, use the below method to retrieve diagnostics:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Go to {% my integrations title="**Settings** > **Devices & services**" %}, and select your integration.
|
||||
2. If you have more than one Plugwise gateway, select the gateway that is experiencing issues.
|
||||
3. Select the gateway device, this should be called 'Adam', 'Stretch' or contain 'Smile' in its name.
|
||||
4. On the integration entry, select the {% icon "mdi:dots-vertical" %}.
|
||||
- Then, select **Download diagnostics** and a JSON file will be downloaded.
|
||||
5. You can inspect the downloaded file or, when requested, upload it to your issue report.
|
||||
|
||||
### Rebooting your gateway
|
||||
|
||||
For each gateway, there will be a reboot button available in your integration.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Go to {% my integrations title="**Settings** > **Devices & services**" %}, and select your integration.
|
||||
2. If you have more than one Plugwise Smile, select the gateway that is experiencing issues.
|
||||
3. Select the gateway device, this should be called 'Adam', 'Stretch' or contain 'Smile' in its name.
|
||||
4. On the integration entry, look for the 'Reboot' button to press in the **Configuration** section.
|
||||
|
||||
## Known limitations
|
||||
|
||||
### Schedule configuration and pre-requisites
|
||||
|
||||
Creation, modification or deleting of climate schedules is not supported through this integration. We recommend using the Plugwise App or visit the local device to configure schedules. See [accessing the local device](#accessing-the-local-device) above on how to access the local device from Home Assistant.
|
||||
|
||||
To display your schedule as a valid `select` option for this integration, ensure that the schedule has a minimal of two schedule points.
|
||||
|
||||
### Anna connected to Adam
|
||||
|
||||
If you are using your Anna as part of your Adam zone control system, it becomes a zone thermostat, and cannot be configured as a smart thermostat. The integration will not discover your Anna or allow manual configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
### Anna with Elga
|
||||
|
||||
The cooling mode can only be toggled via a **physical switch** on the device (not through a toggle in the Plugwise App or using Home Assistant).
|
||||
|
||||
The change in cooling mode should be detected by Home Assistant. If not, please try to **reload** the Plugwise integration as indicated below and report your findings.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create an issue including your [diagnostic data](#diagnostic-data).
|
||||
2. Go to {% my integrations title="**Settings** > **Devices & services**" %}, and select your integration.
|
||||
3. On the "**Hubs**" page, use the {% icon "mdi:dots-vertical" %} icon next to your Anna and choose "**Reload**".
|
||||
|
||||
### Vacation preset
|
||||
|
||||
The `vacation` preset is only available on an Anna. Adam has a vacation-mode (called Action in the Plugwise App) that disables the active schedule and sets the vacation-preset for all zones.
|
||||
|
||||
Also, there's a pause-mode that disables the active schedule and sets the away-preset for all zones.
|
||||
|
||||
### Idling climate actions
|
||||
|
||||
You can only stop climate actions on an Adam, see [turn on / turn off](#turn-on--turn-off). An alternative could be to adjust your [preset mode](#set-preset-mode) to `no_frost` to stop any heating actions.
