Climate link

[jere19]

Hello, I just received my connexionbox and first of all I want to thank you for the integration ! I also tried to link with a climate entity and it just works! You need to set up a generic thermostat with the switch and whatever temperature sensor you may have (I used the average of the half dozen xiaomi bluetooth sensors i have in my house). Here's the config:

climate:
  - platform: generic_thermostat
    name: PoeleMaison 
    heater: switch.stove_status
    target_sensor: sensor.TemperatureInterieure
    hot_tolerance: 1.0
    cold_tolerance: 0.5
    min_temp: 17
    max_temp: 22
    ac_mode: false
    min_cycle_duration:
        minutes: 30

I'll try to make a pull request soon to enhance a bit the documentation, I'm still struggling to understand some parts :)

I'm impressed at the sensors/counters palazzetti exposes (all temperatures, cumulative pellet usage, etc.). It would be nice to expose some of them as proper sensors.

Hi Jere19. Have you continue to use climate for stove regulation ? Can you return your usage experience ? not much start and stop of stove ?

I've been using it since my post. It works almost flawlessly. I only had a couple misfires because of ashes in the burner. For this I wrote an automation to send me a reminder to clean the stove when it stops. I also wrote a sensor to monitor pellet usage and get a bag out of the garage when running low but it still needs some calibration I think. Here's the graph of the thermostat over 24h : Blue line is the target (18.5°c) and the green areas are when the stove is heating. Outside temp. was between 0 and 3 that day.

hello, interesting . Have you set the stove to mode 1 (operation with room sensor on stove) or mode 2 (With external themostat) ? thanks !
