DIsplay problem with status messages that include non-ASCII characters

[cperrier]

This problem seems similar to issue 49, but indeed the opposite. In #49 it looks like status messages receved from the boiler ar ISO 8859-1 encoded and not properly displayed.

My problem is the opposite : apparently my boiler sends UTF-8 encoded status messages but they are displayed like this:

Mode réduit actif|T ext supérieure à la limite de réduit

which is clearly UTF-8 encoded strings that aren't properly decoded ("é" is a "é")

This apparently begin after I updated to 4.x firmware a few weeks ago.

I see in #49 that you requested "the JSON result of your Ökofen Interface" and never got it from the bug reporter. I willl happily send this.....as soon as I find how to get it...:-)

[Ultchad]

To get the JSON: When you configured your service, you put the URL with your boiler password like this: "http://[YOU_IP]:4321/[YOUR_PASSWORD]/all"

Put this URL in your browser and you will get the JSON (at home , on the same network as the boiler)

[cperrier]

Oh, sure... Here is the JSON, then:

Can you tell me the version of the pelletronic touch. (it's for me, I'm trying to see the differences between the versions), it looks like a v3 but I don't have utf-8

(if you want you can edit to frame your JSON with 3 ` like that ``` at start and end, and it will appear as code)

[Ultchad]

I have my response on your other issuer #80 "4.04a" Thanks If i time i want test your JSON

Hi @cperrier

please try release https://github.com/dominikamann/oekofen-pellematic-compact/releases/tag/v3.3.6. I added the possibility to use a different character set for decoding.

See https://github.com/dominikamann/oekofen-pellematic-compact/discussions/67

Doh, I never saw this configuration screen. Sorry for being a bit dumb, but where should I go in order to change this new setting (at least I managed to install 3.3.6.....not really sure that I did so "the right way".....but it's the one running on my HA instance, at least) ?

[dominikamann]

There is currently no way to change the settings over the UI for an already existing/added heater. You have two options:

• Remove your Heater and add it again
• Change the setting like it is described in Readme under "Password or url change" (key is charset)

[cperrier]

OK, thanks for the hint (which I saw recently by trying to find out where is stored the URL of the boiler after I configured it for the first time).

I managed to make the change by editing core.config_entries and set "charset":"utf-8"

And here are my nice badges now:

[cperrier]

Therefore closing (not sure what is the commonly accepted practice in the community for bug closing but that seems to be the "thing to do". Danke Sehr, Dominik!

[cperrier]

Really closing..:-)
