Configuration

[rudgej]

I have a Variheat 600 running Bepacom. This is a pool heater / ventilation system

It has IP address of 192.168.1.211

I can see this on the network using Wacnet

I have Bepacom IP running

The UI interface shows nothing.

I have Become Ip interface running but this has some default ip addresses ( that show in the logs of Bepacom Ip but ate not a range I use ( 127.0.0.1) and anything I add leads to an error

Given BacNet runs and I can see it with Wacnet then I have a configuration issue somewhere but cant see anything obvious in the documentations.

Could you please point me in the right direction.

Thank you

Apologies for my slow reply.

The almost works!

There is a drop down but the drop downs are all unpopulated.

Screen shots attached.

As an aside the values are updating.

Thank you so much for all of your efforts.

Could you copy this file and paste it in the integration's select.py file? I think when you've done this and restarted Home Assistant, the dropdown menu's should be populated.

[rudgej]

Still blank I am afraid.

Thank you

Jeremy

[GravySeal]

Even after a restart? Could you maybe share some debug logs with me again?

[rudgej]

Yes the systems was restarted

[GravySeal]

Could you download v0.2.1b10 from HACS and see if that works?

[rudgej]

Hi. It is not showing as a. Update yet and I am on my phone. So I will remove and reinstall in first thing in the morning. Thank you.

[rudgej]

Updated. Sadly still blank values.

@BradleyFord How do your multistates look? Do you get numbers in the dropdown menu where there are no stateTexts to represent them with the latest version?

[GravySeal]

@rudgej One last thing we can try is remove all the checks for stateText.

Please edit /config/custom_components/bacnet_interface/select.py and replace the entire class MultiStateValueEntity with the following code:

It should result in this:

Just make sure to restart Home Assistant again after each change.

@BradleyFord How do your multistates look? Do you get numbers in the dropdown menu where there are no stateTexts to represent them with the latest version?

The numbers are coming through ok and change when I use the remote to adjust something, but I am not able to use it to push changes down. You can see the error as the bottom of the screen on the image below .

[Bepacom-Raalte]

I released version v0.2.1, let me know if these issues persist.

[rudgej]

Good morning.

I updated to 2.1 and tried it. Still no dropdown.

I change the code above and on restart the integration failed to start.

I then reverted the code and it started with no dropdown,

Logs attached.

Thanks as always

Jeremy

[BradleyFord]

That change has been positive for me, as it seems I can now get data writing down to BACNET ok.

I still have some work to do getting my Climate template adapted to use it, that can wait for later today when my family go to bed.

[Bepacom-Raalte]

Still no dropdown.

So does it show options when you open the dropdown menu? An error that shows briefly on the screen?

It's supposed to look like this now:

[rudgej]

Hi

No. I have no errors just a blank dropdown.

@rudgej Could you perhaps try one more time to redownload the integration from HACS?

Don't need to edit any files after downloading.

I've tried all imaginable ways to recreate the empty dropdowns for myself, but they all populate either with statetexts, or numbers if there's no statetexts in v0.2.1.

[rudgej]

I have re downloaded, restarted.

Blank.

I tried to set the value using a script and got an error. Screen shot attached.

On restart I noticed that 1.4 was running not the beta ( which interestingly worked ) and so I change the settings so the beta starts only on reboot ( they were both set to start ) but no change

[Bepacom-Raalte]

Where are you trying to change the option? This looks like a template, so I don't think the options will change along with the actual entity options. Could you take a look at the options though Settings > Devices & Services > Bepacom Bacnet/IP Interface > Variheat and take a screenshot of your multistates there?

[rudgej]

That was a script - as when I set it programatically that is how it will be done I assume. I used it to test setting temperature which worked.

The screen shot is attached showing still blanks - hence I tried in a script in case I got a different result but no.

I thought the error message would give a clue.

It currently has a value of 1 when I look in the add on. Screen shot below. So the add on has the value but the HACS integration does not

[GravySeal]

Alright, so I see the problem. The stateText is in fact a list of empty strings. That's why you are seeing blank values appearing in Home Assistant. A little strange, but it makes sense now. Perhaps they're editable through some program other than WACnet as they don't appear in there?

[GravySeal]

I think if you update to v0.2.2b1, the blank states should be fixed.

[rudgej]

I have values !

Thank you.

I will test it in the morning.

Did you encounter any issues after testing?

[rudgej]

Good morning. I am sorry for my slow reply.

The pool area is currently being worked on and I don't have physical access to the unit.

All signs are that it works fine but it will be a few days until I can actually test it properly.

If I change values they then show in wacnet and that gets data from the unit so I think it is all fine

Your support has been amazing and appreciated.

Jeremy

[GravySeal]

Awesome, glad it's working then! I'll mark this issue as finished. If you do encounter something else, feel free to turn it into a new issue.
