Open window status not exposed via TadoLocal Server 1.1.1

[blackwind69]

Tado detects an open window based on its own parameters and shows an open window notification in the official app. With the full cloud/API integration, this also changes the sensor status to open, which can be used as a trigger in Home Assistant.

With TadoLocal Server 1.1.1, that status change is not exposed, so Home Assistant does not reflect the open window event.

Expected behaviour
When Tado detects an open window, TadoLocal Server should expose the same status change so it can be used as a trigger in Home Assistant.

Actual behaviour
The open window notification appears in the Tado app, but no corresponding open status is reflected through TadoLocal Server.

Environment
TadoLocal Server: 1.1.1
Home Assistant add-on/plugin

The homekit api doesn't expose this info in a usable way. You need much more detailed reports on temperature and hydro values to calculate these then updates only 15 minutes or so.

And polling the cloud server 100 times a day (the daily limit) can't fill that missing info, and would break all other usages of the cloud api. So I don't know a way how to fix this for you... We would need a new api from Tado for that.

Thanks for this, I wasn't sure how it worked, I assumed the trigger would be local as otherwise the data would be polling back to the Tado Servers at a crazy rate, so thought it could then be processed. The previous API (HA integration) worked even with the 1000/day API limit. Can I ask how/what the open window status does on the Web UI and how that's triggered/status is changed?

In version 1.1.1 of TadoLocal an open window detection was implemented based on an internal algorithm not on Tado Cloud.
See the discussion about this topic here: #32 We are still optimizing the "algorithm" any input is welcome.
