Equation heaters compatibility

[bigjoky]

There’s a parallel Rointe brand named equation.

Is it possible to make it compatible with them on future versions?

Maybe this resource helps: https://github.com/AndreMiras/equation-connect

Thanks in advance.

Hello, I don't own an Equation device so I would be shooting in the dark a bit. It is something I would be interested in but I would probably fork the Rointe project and mange them independently

[jwcnewton]

If you owned a device I would be happy to work with you on this feature

I have created an experimental release 3.0.0 (https://www.npmjs.com/package/homebridge-rointe-unofficial/v/3.0.0)

Change "Use rointe backend" to false (uncheck it) - This change has been done blind so my expectation is low

Good evening @jwcnewton I’d love to help you with the project! I own 3 hera devices! So.. you’re the boss how can I help?

Is not working, actually apparently it connects.. but returns an error like this,

[jwcnewton]

Hmm okay - im going to trying integrating with https://github.com/AndreMiras/equation-connect.js and I'll get back to you

[bigjoky]

Perfect! If I can help any other way just let me know

Hello @bigjoky sorry I have been quiet on this, I have a few open source project i juggle -

I have created a quick and dirty release to allow connectivity with Equation - Try the latest version and let me know how you get on.

I've got one issue, but don't know how to solve it, I have 2 units with the same ending, and cant't change the name so, Homebridge takes them as duplicate. only imports one, how to make them available by serial number not the name?

[jwcnewton]

That is a weird one! Sure let me dig into that
