Hi, I also have a recuperator (prana-150, not premium) (no sensors). The ios app partially works. I tried your component. in app only these features are available:

your program handles it well:

it does not exist

(night mode = speed 1 (low)) (not a separate mode) (auto mode cannot be switched - or I couldn't find a way :)) because of this: speed_list: off, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

Unfortunately I failed to control, the server is far enough away from the recuperator and I get quite a few communication errors. I'm trying to bridge the problem somehow. Don't have an idea to extend bluetooth?

Thanks,

Laszlo

Hey Laszlo,

Glad to hear that you got it up and running.

For the moment I don't know how to differentiate between prana models. A temporary solution will be to have a flag in configuration, then we can disable some functionality based on this (auto mode / sensors, ...)

Also you can increase polling interval (you don't have a lot of data that is changing overtime) this will decrease connection errors that are appearing in logs.

For me after a while (after many connection errors) home assistant commands to control prana don't work anymore and restarting home assistant fixes the issue. Maybe there is a bug in the code ...

night mode == 1 speed for me also.

So changing speed value for you is not working ?

There is a possibility to find what commands are required for changing speed in your case. By editing values in prana.py

EX: powerOff = "BEEF0401" heater = "BEEF0405" nightMode = "BEEF0406" maxSpeed = "BEEF0407" airOutOff = "BEEF0410" speedLocked = "BEEF0409" speedDown = "BEEF040B" speedUp = "BEEF040C" airInOff = "BEEF040D" speedInUp = "BEEF040E" speedInDown = "BEEF040F" speedOutUp = "BEEF0411" speedOutDown = "BEEF0412" thaw = "BEEF0416" autoMode = "BEEF0418"

Thanks, Alex

I installed a raspberry pi and installed the latest home assistant (in docker). Queries, speed adjustment, shutdown also work fine. Unfortunately, turning on doesn't work. How can special modes be activated? (heating, winter mode)

alextud commented 4 years ago

for heater / winter mode we can expose them as separate switch, do you need them ?

cyberfly79 commented 4 years ago

I think somehow it would be nice to handle these features as well

cyberfly79 commented 4 years ago

I've been using it for a long time and it works almost perfectly. The power on function is missing, unfortunately it doesn't work.

alextud commented 4 years ago

I've found the powerOn command, it should work now.

cyberfly79 commented 4 years ago

Yes, super, it works. Thanks!
