Walkthrough

The PR refactors error handling, data collection, and entity grouping logic across multiple modules. It enhances error messages with exception details, introduces defensive group member collection, simplifies location data structure initialization, reorders entity update flow, and relocates appliance offset functionality while updating related test fixtures.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Error Message Enhancements plugwise/__init__.py, plugwise/legacy/smile.py	Improved error messages now include original exception details in raised errors instead of generic static text
Group Member Collection plugwise/common.py	Added _collect_members() helper method; added defensive checks in _get_groups() to skip invalid groups; expanded group entries with name and vendor fields
Entity Data Flow Reordering plugwise/data.py	Refactored _add_or_update_notifications() for gateway-only targeting; reordered availability checks in _get_entity_data() to execute after Adam/Anna processing; added explicit switching-group status update
Helper Method Refactoring plugwise/helper.py	Simplified _get_locations() to initialize minimal location data {"name": loc.name}; removed _get_appliances_with_offset_functionality() method; adjusted _match_and_rank_thermostats() to augment location dicts during ranking phase
Appliance Offset Functionality Helper plugwise/smile.py	Added _get_appliances_with_offset_functionality() helper; integrated into get_all_gateway_entities() to populate offset-capable appliances before thermostat scanning
Test Data Updates tests/data/adam/adam_plus_anna_new_UPDATED_DATA.json	Added two new thermostat group entries with primary/secondary thermostat assignments

Timestamp: 2025-10-11T14:05:29.022Z
Learning: In Plugwise fixture data (data.json files), location IDs referenced in device entries don't always need corresponding top-level location objects. Only climate zones (ThermoZone entries with dev_class "climate") require full top-level definitions with thermostats, schedules, and presets. Simple organizational locations that just group devices (like single plugs) can be referenced without top-level entries.

Learning: The code in plugwise/legacy/helper.py is fully separated from plugwise/helper.py. The user indicates that the problem signaled about the mismatch of the variable name (_home_location vs _home_loc_id) does not actually apply.

Timestamp: 2025-12-25T12:02:58.781Z
Learning: In the Python Plugwise library, zones are not separate appliances in gw_entities. When a zone is added to self.gw_entities, the location_id is used as the entity_id. In code reviews, validate that zone checks rely on location_id being present in _existing_zones and that lookups use self.gw_entities[location_id]. Do not treat zones as independent appliances.

File: plugwise/helper.py:210-211
Timestamp: 2025-12-21T10:56:19.146Z
Learning: In plugwise/helper.py, when parsing location XML elements, the `type` element is always present for a location, so null checks are not required when accessing `location.find("type").text`.

🔇 Additional comments (14)

plugwise/__init__.py (1)

335-335: LGTM! Enhanced error context improves debuggability.

The updated error message now includes the original exception details, making it easier to diagnose data retrieval issues. The use of from err properly maintains the exception chain.

plugwise/legacy/smile.py (1)

104-104: LGTM! Error messages now include helpful context.

Both error messages have been updated to include the original exception details, distinguishing between full and incremental update failures. This aids debugging by providing specific context about what data is missing.

Also applies to: 118-118

plugwise/smile.py (3)

119-128: LGTM! Well-structured helper method.

The new helper cleanly encapsulates the logic for identifying appliances with temperature offset functionality. The XPath query is specific and the method has a clear, single responsibility.

---

111-113: LGTM! Proper integration of offset functionality detection.

The helper is appropriately invoked when _is_thermostat is True, ensuring offset-capable thermostats are identified before scanning. This ordering ensures the data is available when needed.

---

152-152: LGTM! Consistent error context enhancement.

The error message now includes the specific KeyError details, aligning with the broader pattern of improved error reporting across the codebase.

tests/data/adam/adam_plus_anna_new_UPDATED_DATA.json (1)

45-60: LGTM! Test data expanded to cover additional thermostat configurations.

The new entries provide test coverage for scenarios with multiple primary thermostats and primary/secondary thermostat combinations, supporting the enhanced thermostat handling logic in the codebase.

plugwise/common.py (2)

220-228: LGTM! Clean helper with appropriate defensive validation.

The _collect_members method properly validates that member IDs exist in gw_entities before including them. This defensive approach prevents issues with stale or invalid group member references.

---

202-218: LGTM! Improved control flow with better validation.

The refactored _get_groups method now includes defensive checks for missing group IDs and empty member lists, using early returns to skip invalid groups. The addition of name and vendor fields enriches the group entity data, and the extracted _collect_members helper improves code organization.

plugwise/data.py (3)

106-120: LGTM! Defensive early return and duplicate prevention.

The early return at line 111-112 provides a safeguard, and the check at line 115 prevents duplicate notifications from being added. The _count increment correctly only happens when new keys are added.

---

197-206: LGTM! Availability checks correctly placed after entity processing.

The reordering ensures availability checks run after all entity-specific data (Adam/Anna) is processed. The OnOff guard at line 203 correctly excludes OnOff devices from OpenTherm availability checks since they don't use OpenTherm communication.

---

189-190: No issue found - members are validated at collection time.

The _entity_switching_group method safely accesses self.gw_entities[member] because _collect_members (called when building the group entity) defensively checks that each member exists in gw_entities before including it. Only validated members are assigned to entity["members"], so a KeyError cannot occur.

Likely an incorrect or invalid review comment.

plugwise/helper.py (3)

148-150: LGTM!

Comment clarification accurately describes the intent of skipping thermostat-type devices without a location.

---

215-215: Good refactoring: Deferred initialization of thermostat ranking data.

Simplifying the initial location data to just {"name": loc.name} and deferring the primary, primary_prio, and secondary keys to _match_and_rank_thermostats (line 775) is a cleaner separation of concerns. Non-thermostat locations won't carry unnecessary keys.

---

774-779: LGTM!

The initialization of primary, primary_prio, and secondary keys at line 775 correctly occurs before _rank_thermostat accesses them, ensuring no KeyError when ranking thermostats.
