Heishamon does not register updates on TOP values

[MrLivelong]

Hello everyone, First of all I want to thank the developers for this great product.

but I’m here because I have an issue. It looks like my heishamon does not get any updates on TOP values. The console shows it receives new data but no TOP is updated. After a reboot the Heishamon continues normal operation until the issue starts happening again.

[IgorYbema]

Are you using 'listen only mode' as an option next to the official CZ-TAW1 module ? because i'm missing the 'Requesting new panasonic data' log line.

[MrLivelong]

Yes that’s correct. I want to use the CZ-TAW1 so the installer can monitor the system as well.

[IgorYbema]

Trying to understand why this could happen. Are you sure the TOP's aren't updated in the heishamon webpage also? Could you enable hex debug so I can check if indeed the received values aren't changing?

[MrLivelong]

There are some differences between Home Assistant and Heishamon Web. For example: outdoor temperature is in Heishamon 24C and in HA 27C.

So it seems that heishamon is receiving new values. It is probably just the MQTT server which is having a problem. Or HA which isn't connecting correclty to MQTT. Next step in debugging is to manually listen to the MQTT topics if the values are updated there.

[MrLivelong]

Well, there is a big difference after a reboot of Heishamon:

You see a lot of TOP updates.

Home Assistant does update after the reboot as well.

If you still think the problem is with MQTT, I will troubleshoot MQTT but I doubt it because of the big differences in logging after a reboot.

[IgorYbema]

After reboot it updates all TOP's once and after that it will only update the TOP's which changes. And within setting you have the setting "How often all heatpump values are retransmitted to MQTT broker:" , normally 300 seconds. After this time all TOP's will be retransmitted again even if they didn't change. You can make this shorter but not to fast as every update takes some time to process.

[MrLivelong]

Thats not what I see in HA: In the last 6 hours it has not changed any value until I restarted the Heishamon. On the other hand, when I compare the log before a restart and after, I see a lot more "received TOPXX" rows (see comments above). Doesn't that mean that before restart, Heishamon cannot receive those TOPXX values but after restart it can?

[IgorYbema]

It does receive them but it doesn't send them if they don't change (and after reset it sends all, that's why you see those TOPs in the long log list) You see in the dump with the hex that only this one changes received TOP64 High_Pressure: 14.2 and on time: received TOP52 Defrost_Temp: 21

And if the values do change in heishamon web interface (and in the logs there) but aren't updating in HA, there most be something wrong with mqtt.

Make sure you check if the values are still updated in the logs and the web interface when you see flatlines in HA. If those are still update, you need to focuse on mqtt or HA.

That explains a lot. Thanks! I will check the interface, logs and HA and post the progress here.

@MrLivelong Did you find the problem? I have a similar issue and values in HA are updated only when HA or MQTT broker is restarted

I don't think that it is related.. do you get values updated to heishamon?

[dionisi]

The problem was with my MQTT server, not the heishamon itself. Please disregard my last question.

[MrLivelong]

For the last couple of weeks it is running stable. I am not sure of the cause of the issues but it could be that it was overflowing by the amount of requests. I had misunderstood the tab 'WP MQTT' of the intergration in Node Red (see: https://github.com/edterbak/NodeRed_Heishamon_control). I had turned on all the values.

Maybe someone can confirm or deny my guessing.

For now I will close this issue. I am still happy with Heishamon and all the effort.
