Add cooling consumption and cooling temperatures

[x4N70pHyLL]

The problem

Hello, as it's finally summer, I am using my heat pump for cooling, but there is not value for the energy consumption for cooling. Can we add this?

Currently, there is:

• Overall consumption
• Heating consumption
• hot water consumption

Cooling consumption is measured and included in "Overall consumption", but not in heating. That leads me to the assumption that there should be an attribute for "Cooling Consumption" in the API.

Hey there @cfenner, mind taking a look at this issue as it has been labeled with an integration (vicare) you are listed as a code owner for? Thanks!

You can check if the data point is in the api response in the diagnostic information yourself. I would assume that heating actually means climate and there is no dedicated cool. At least I did not noticed such in the past in heat pump api dumps.

What is the ViCare app telling your about this?

[x4N70pHyLL]

I would assume that heating actually means climate and there is no dedicated cool. I would not assume that as the energy used for cooling is not included but shows up in "Overall consumption"

App supports that assumption

API has:

https://api.viessmann.com/iot/v1/features/installations/#######/gateways/################/devices/0/features/heating.circuits.0.operating.modes.active where it states that the active mode is cooling (is not reflected in the "heat pump thermostat"

https://api.viessmann.com/iot/v1/features/installations/#######/gateways/################/devices/0/features/heating.circuits.0.operating.programs.comfortCooling/commands/setTemperature is an example where the temperatures for cooling are set (this is the same as in heating mode, but for cooling)

https://api.viessmann.com/iot/v1/features/installations/#######/gateways/################/devices/0/features/heating.power.consumption.cooling

is the consumption

Can we include these things? For reference I attached the Diag Info while cooling activated.

Great that there is an API endpoint. Unfortunately, this is not exposed in the library: https://github.com/somm15/PyViCare/blob/master/PyViCare/PyViCareHeatPump.py

And usually changes to the library are not merged in a reasonable about of time 😭.

Can we do something about it? I mean it looks to me there are several attributes that should be revamped and connected with the thermostat or somehow be included in the integration. See the other issue I mage for the programs/modes settings
