ESPHome configuration for the PC-WKS 1167G kettle

This repository includes an ESPHome example configuration for the ProfiCook PC-WKS 1167 G kettle. You can use it to control your kettle as a climate device from within Home Assistant.

Getting started

1. Flash tasmota to your device

2. Clone this repository and customize it:

   • git clone https://github.com/Tho85/esphome-wks1167g
   • Customize your secrets in includes/secrets.yaml
   • Customize device name in wks-1167g.yaml

3. Compile firmware: esphome compile wks-1167g.yaml

4. Flash firmware file in wks-1167g/.pioenvs/wks-1167g/firmware.bin via Tasmota web ui

5. Add your device to Home Assistant as usual

Result

Current state

What works

• climate device:
  • Setting custom temperatures
  • Report current temperature
  • Heat to custom temperature (-> on)
  • Send device into standby (-> off)
• sensor devices:
  • Current state (kettle removed, heating, cooling, standby, ...)
  • Time remaining
  • Error (binary_sensor)
  • Error description

What doesn't work

• Heating to predefined temperatures / modes available via buttons, e.g. 3 minutes @ 100 °C

  This would require a major rework of the tuya button component, since all modes are set through a single (enum) datapoint. And besides, you can reach any temperature by setting a custom temperature via the climate device. Only downside: 3 minutes @ 100°C won't work

Internals

This example relies on a patched version of the tuya component. It customizes tuya's climate handling to send the correct enum datapoint for on/off for the device. It also filters out invalid temperature values, where the temperature is read as 100°C when removing the kettle.

The patched version is automatically loaded as a custom component from the example file.
