Connect your Netatmo thermostats to your smart home system installation

Prerequisites

Step 1 - Compatible Devices and Netatmo Mobile Apps

To add your Netatmo devices to Gladys, they must first be added to their respective apps, which you should download from the Play Store or Apple Store. Below are only the devices compatible with Gladys:

- "NATherm1" Thermostats and "NRV" Valves

• Netatmo Energy on Play Store
• Netatmo Energy on Apple Store

- "NAMain" weather stations and the associable

• Netatmo Weather on Play Store
• Netatmo Weather on Apple Store

Step 2 - Netatmo Connect

You must then go to the Netatmo Connect page and click on the LOG IN link to create an account with your email and password.

- Creating an "app"

Go to your My app page and click on the Create button to create a link to your Gladys account. Enter the necessary information (fields with a *) as in the example below:

- Retrieving Client Connection ID and secret

By clicking on Save, you will then have access to the necessary information in the frame below (see Step 1 of the tutorial)

Tutorial

To add your Netatmo devices to Gladys, go to Integrations -> Netatmo.

Then click on the Setup tab to access the Netatmo API connection page.

Step 1.1: Setup Netatmo API Connection Credentials

From the Setup tab, enter the information retrieved during the previous step :

• The client ID,
• The secret shopper
• Activate the "Energy" API if you have at least one thermostat, a valve or a plug as well as the Netatmo Energy application on Play Store or Apple Store functional
• Activate the "Weather" API if you have at least the basic weather station as well as the Netatmo Weather application on Play Store or Apple Store functional

Then click on the Save and connect button. You will then be redirected to the Netatmo website to accept the connection from Gladys.

Step 1.2: Authorizing Gladys Application to Connect to Your Netatmo Account

It is important to note that by clicking on YES, I ACCEPT, you authorize Gladys to access in reading and writing mode for all currently supported devices and also in read-only mode for all your devices, even those not yet supported, with the aim of facilitating their future integration.

For any new integration of devices not yet supported, you will have to go through this step again to accept the writing (commands) on these new devices.

Step 1.3: Validation and Connection of the Application

After acceptance, you will be redirected back to your previous Gladys page, you should now be connected to the Netatmo API.

Step 1.4: Disconnecting from the application

You can completely disconnect from the Netatmo application by clicking on the Disconnect button. This will clear the credentials and associated permissions.

Step 2.1: Discovering Compatible Netatmo Devices

On this page, you will also find a Refresh button at the top to refresh the features of the devices in case of changes in the Netatmo apps or in case of new support in Gladys.

Step 2.2: Discovery of Non-Compatible Netatmo devices and/or Setup problem

Non-Compatible Netatmo devices

You will also be able to find devices in your possession that are not yet compatible with Gladys.

You can request support for these devices through the Suggest this device button, which will take you to the Github page to directly create an issue request with the properties of the new device.

warning

Do not forget to replace sensitive data such as the device ID, house ID, room ID, or hub ID.

Setup problem

You may encounter the following cases on the Netatmo Discovery page:

• Save not possible for Netatmo "Energy" devices if you have Concentrator (NAPlug), Thermostat (NATherm1/NTH01) or Valve (NRV/NAV) devices but you have not selected the Enable "Energy" API in the Setup page.

• Save not possible for Netatmo "Weather" devices in case you have Weather Station (NAMain) devices but you have not selected the Enable "Weather" API option in the Setup page.

In any of these cases, you will need to go to the Setup page to select the corresponding option(s) and click Save and connect again to allow data recovery.

Step 3: Devices Tab

In the Devices tab, you will find the added devices with their characteristics, including their connection status or and the battery level.

Assigning a Room

To display a device on the dashboard, you must first assign it to a room. Select it from the following dropdown menu, then click on the Save button:

Modifying Features

For now, you can only change the display name of the device. Soon, you will also have access to an Edit button, allowing you to modify the display names of features that will appear on the homepage. Moreover, some features will be able to be displayed in different ways.
