DHW current temp not updating

[glowaa]

After you added climate control, DHW current temp not updating. Also heatpump frequently update a lot of statuses.

please use source: github://gekkekoe/esphome-ecodan-hp@8a8a51de65731c120eb0168c350ba484ddecc54d in the meantime instead of @main in the yaml file.

or try to set the thermostats refresh to 60 or higher, it has to do with slow response from certain heat pumps.

I have FTC6 board and it's working without problem before.

8a8a51de65731c120eb0168c350ba484ddecc54d use full hash , click on link and copy hash or use above. github is annoying and makes a short version

[glowaa]

Version 8a8a51de65731c120eb0168c350ba484ddecc54d is working stable without any problems for over a week

[gekkekoe]

okay thanks it's related to the thermostats then. need more investigation

[gekkekoe]

I've replaced the standard climate controls with a custom climate control. Try the latest and report back. If this still gives issues, then you can always use the previous working version.

[glowaa]

After today climate actions heatpump is running even the temperature is bigger than on room sensor

[gekkekoe]

climates don't turn on heating. it's only displaying. from your logging, I see that space heating was activated. that's why it's showing heating.

you have room temp target set at 24 degrees, the heat pump tries to heat to that temp.

I do see that dhw climate is also heating, thats the wrong status, I've fixed that.

[glowaa]

I have set target to 20 degrees and 24 is currently on room sensor. Also DHW i set target to 47 degrees and 49.5 is currently on DHW sensor.

Heatpump was off before update, and after update has change to Heating.

[gekkekoe]

that is weird. dhw indication had a bug, fixed. but normal climate should work properly.

the only set it does is setting the target temp depending on you operating mode. did you by change switched the modes in the thermostats? default it switches to cool flow for cooling and compensation for heating (can be change in yaml, but this is default). I do see that it was switched to compensation mode. that might have triggered it. generally you do not need to use the mode switches on the thermostat. just set it via the normal selector.

but I do see space heating activated(as final action), so something is requesting heat (thermostat can't do that, unless you set target above room temp (for room modes))

is it still giving issues? please post the operating modes, room temp sensor values, INx thermostats values

[glowaa]

I have update to the newest version.

Now DHW seems be ok, but heating not. After update heatpump change automaticly to Heat Compensation Curve and heating start, after change to Heat Target Temperature still is heating and waterpump is active.

[gekkekoe]

I just pushed an update, please test that. It's a bit difficult since I cannot reproduce it here. If it still gives issues, please revert to https://github.com/gekkekoe/esphome-ecodan-hp/commit/8a8a51de65731c120eb0168c350ba484ddecc54d

After update sill heating and waterpump on

I do have climate on heat as well, if set to off it restore itsef to heat immediatly, pump stay off probably because i did set Heating prohibited in this season. Got this from log [16:25:32][W][select:111][serial_rx_task]: 'Modalità Funzionamento' - Option Heat Compensation Curve is not a valid option

Yesterday was ok

[gekkekoe]

the climate shows the selected heating/cooling mode. So heating when you have selected 'heat flow/room temp/compensation curve'. The action indicate if it's actually busy. It will show Idle probably in your case. Once it's heating, you will see the action turn into heating.

You can configure the heating/cooling switch. see updated readme. But it only switches to that mode. Regarding the error, I think it's an translation issue. check if options for mode select is okay ?

@glowaa I see space heating is active, but compressor is at 0hz. but pump is on. This is probably during startup. The selected mode is space heating, So would not expect it to be active. can you try to poweroff the unit (via circuit breaker) and turn it on again? Is it still giving issues?

If I select heat temp, then it looks like this: It's idle, but currently in one of the heating modes

[glowaa]

Seems be working ok now. I will wait what about actions from node-red automotion.

[gekkekoe]

good, so the not updating is solved with these custom climates? Did you had any automations that uses the number sliders ? You should change that to the climate ones. I've temporary enabled the sliders, but will remove them once there are no complaints about the climates.

[glowaa]

Automotions works, but ESP statuses is not stable

For now https://github.com/gekkekoe/esphome-ecodan-hp/commit/8a8a51de65731c120eb0168c350ba484ddecc54d is one without this issue.

[gekkekoe]

hmm try to run https://github.com/gekkekoe/esphome-ecodan-hp/commit/8a8a51de65731c120eb0168c350ba484ddecc54d and monitor DHW mode. The climates should not affect that sensor. Could be that wifi is dropping. I made some small improvements, please test latest and report back. Also try https://github.com/gekkekoe/esphome-ecodan-hp/commit/8a8a51de65731c120eb0168c350ba484ddecc54d for a couple of hours and compare dhw mode.

[glowaa]

On https://github.com/gekkekoe/esphome-ecodan-hp/commit/8a8a51de65731c120eb0168c350ba484ddecc54d whole week without this issue and wifi is not droping i have that checked on my AP.

Newest version not install.

[gekkekoe]

configure cooling/heating action in ecodan-esphome.yaml (see readme, default cooling/heating switch needs to be defined) add these lines https://github.com/gekkekoe/esphome-ecodan-hp/blob/050785cb841b0f7b7c852d27532ab3b0f526fa9e/ecodan-esphome.yaml#L4-L7 you can configure the default cool/heat switch yourself this way. it's a new breaking change.

[glowaa]

Seems to be working ok now.

[gekkekoe]

good, I think it's a timing issue, I turned of the climate, but latest version changes that. it's display only.
