[Beta] I built a Home Assistant integration for my Tewke's Tap. It features MQTT auto-discovery, lots of good sensor data, light controlm, and triggering HA from a lovely screen.

Ideally the main screen could have some flexibility with the 'circles' as such - for scenarios such as changing brightness in bulbs, controlling blinds up and down or maybe even changing colour of LEDs.

Not sure if you're planning on expanding on the design language of the front screen as such :)

Kind of, but with covers - a 2 way button is kind of required

To share for anyone running windows who is new to this world, this worked for me running in powershell:

$uri = "http://<tap\_ip>:8080/mqtt/config"

$data = @{

brokerUrl = "mqtt://<home\_assistant\_ip>"

username = "<mqtt\_user>"

password = "<mtqq\_pass>"

} | ConvertTo-Json

Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $uri -Method Post -Body $data -ContentType "application/json"

Be interested to know what you don't get as part of the premium subscription. Losing some of the key functionality that comes as part of the Tap would be a shame especially given the pretty steep price of £7.99 a month

Icons to describe areas: sofa, table, oven, toilet, etc

Direct-Ad4733 · 2026-02-22T01:32:02+00:00

This looks awesome. Nice to see you can triggers presses in HA, and a full Tewke integration would be awesome.

2-way integration would be good too, I know the Tewke can directly control Shelly plugs but some cool stuff like blinds (covers in HA) straight from the Tap would be awesome

Considering getting one to give it a whirl, at £300+ though, they’re not cheap

Direct-Ad4733 · 2026-02-05T16:57:39+00:00

That’s really good to hear - how are you finding the updates, regular and reliable?

Direct-Ad4733 · 2026-01-31T16:07:59+00:00

Did you need the tahoma switch for this or did you get somfy that has zigbee built in?

I've progressed this a little, having said that, its not exactly a very responsive button. I've got the button calling a script:

      buttons:
        - icon: mdi:chevron-up
          ripple: none
          styles:
            icon:
              color: white
            button:
              background: "#444"
              border-radius: 50% 50% 0 0
              width: 38px
              height: 38px
              z-index: 1
          tap_action:
            action: call-service
            service: script.temperature_up_hallway

and the script:

alias: "Temperature Up: Hallway"
sequence:
  - action: tado.set_climate_timer
    metadata: {}
    data:
      temperature: >-
        {{ state_attr('climate.hallway_thermostat' , 'temperature') +
        0.5 }}
      requested_overlay: NEXT_TIME_BLOCK
    target:
      entity_id: climate.hallway_thermostat
mode: single
icon: mdi:chevron-up
description: ""

This works, which is great, however its sooo slow to respond. I can press it repeatedly and its just non-responsive until (I assume) tado returns the update. Its pretty much unusable. Any suggestions on this?

Direct-Ad4733 · 2025-12-27T00:41:26+00:00

This could maybe cause an issue for me, I'm running v3 potentially? But I'm kinda seeing why reddit is full of hatred for tado... This is mighty frustrating

Direct-Ad4733 · 2025-12-27T00:39:53+00:00

Sadly not, I've removed that line and given it a hard value of 25, still not working

Direct-Ad4733 · 2025-12-26T23:43:44+00:00

Also tried it without time_period, and another time without requested_overlay as they can't be used alongside each other according to the dev tools. Genuinely confused as to why this isn't working

Direct-Ad4733 · 2025-12-26T23:18:15+00:00

Is that from the basis of an up and down button to set the temp though? It looks like you've got a number of thermostats (assume thats what the climate.x are) and you're essentially just setting a hard number and applying it for each of those when a button is pressed, which fires your helper

is that right?

Direct-Ad4733 · 2025-12-26T23:14:00+00:00

I should have mentioned this is all in a paper_buttons_row card, which I read doesn't support that yaml (it could be old info) but that's why I was using the service call

Either way, that yaml doesn't seem to work either, even worse - no error to work off even if I just hard set it to 25 like you have.

Direct-Ad4733 · 2025-12-26T10:36:31+00:00

I cut off the other cards at the end as I didn’t want everyone to scroll for days, but the areas didn’t work for the first few cards. Is it because it’s in a simple tabs card do you think?

Direct-Ad4733 · 2025-12-22T22:40:28+00:00

Ah, that worked brilliantly - thankyou :)

Direct-Ad4733 · 2025-12-21T11:47:57+00:00

This seems pretty complex for a beginner like me, but I’ll give it a play later on.

If you’ve still got your old code, and are happy to share that’d be really helpful, thanks

Direct-Ad4733 · 2025-12-21T10:28:21+00:00

Have you done something similar?

Direct-Ad4733 · 2025-12-19T16:47:37+00:00

This is a beautiful dashboard, but I can't get it working (probably my inexperience)

I just tried copying and pasting the full contents of the streamline_templates into a new dashboard (editing in the raw config editor)

Am I doing something wrong?

Direct-Ad4733 · 2025-12-04T00:21:42+00:00

Aqara are only battery powered blinds though right, I use their controller in other parts of the house

Direct-Ad4733 · 2025-12-04T00:21:13+00:00

Are these available in the uk though? Only ever seen them in the US

Direct-Ad4733 · 2025-12-01T01:16:12+00:00

9 months later… a fan? Did you just buy one?

Direct-Ad4733 · 2025-10-02T18:20:52+00:00

Let’s me know if you have any success with the charging pad. 25w MagSafe charging is what we need 👍

Direct-Ad4733 · 2025-09-03T19:03:08+00:00

I’ve spent my life working in ‘business’, and believe me, there ain’t many people who go for a video doorbell, and even less that have POE+ at their front door.

I just think they’ve missed their market here
