Reseting of datetime and desired temp #143

Closed pvydra closed 6 years ago

pvydra commented 6 years ago

Hi John,

since I have connected eBus USB Koppler von Esera, current datetime and desired room temeprature are occasionally reset (lost) on my Vaillant 470f regulator. Unfortunately, I don't know when exactly this happens and therefore I am not able to investigate log.

I just want to read data from bus - I don't write (send commands) to bus.

Have you ever experienced this behaviour and/or could you point me where/what start to find?

I have Vaillant EcoTEC Exclusiv 146 + Calormatic 470f

Many thanks,

Petr V.

No, I didn't hear something like that before. You could use ebusd in "--readonly" mode if you remove all other CSV files, that are currently not needed. In readonly mode ebusd is not able to scan the devices and thus does not know, which CSV files to load.

Hi.

If, after switching off, the data is also lost, you need to look for the problem in Vaillant 470 (colormatic 470?). This is a known problem and results from damage to the capacitor holding the power supply. Vaillant does not fix it. You should buy a new 470 or repair it yourself as shown here https://www.elektroda.pl/rtvforum/topic3110151.html

Important! Check if it loses data after turning off the power. You can also disconnect the eBus USB Koper von Eser and check if the data is still lost.

Hi, thank you for the reply. Since I opened this issue, I haven't experienced the problem until today. The desired temp has disappeared again. (Time is ok)

I experienced the behavior since I have started 'experiments' with eBus Koppler, so it didn't come to my mind that it could be related to 470 and its power supply.

Hi. I'm not sure but the symptoms are typical for this damage.

[edited] Additionally, show the contents of the StatusDcf registry with 470 and dcfState with bai

I have the exact same issue and it was solved by disconnecting the ebus USB adapter! I also do readonly on the bus, no writing. Any solutions on this since 2018? It only resets my desired warm-water temperature as far as I see.

470f must have a really lousy RTC. Whenever the DCF77 signal is lost (for example by loosing connection to VR21), the internal clock in 470f gets terribly out of sync in a matter of days if not hours. I resolved it by using ebusd to manually sync datatime on 470f with an NTP server every midnight.

Kind regards
