4 years ago You will need both the 00/14 and 00/13 sticks in order to control the devices properly. The 00/13 stick is needed to add the 00/14 stick to the network, add connections, etc., and to export the datapoints file. You will need if you want to add more devices in the future, and it's not horribly expensive, so it's good to have in any case.
The 00/13 is likely able to see your current network. If it's password protected, only the installer will know the password, the electrical company will know nothing about it. There is a good chance it's not password protected, but if it is, and you can't get hold of the password, you can factory reset all devices and start afresh. In itself that's not a terrible idea, since you gain a better understanding of how the network works, but YMMV.
I purchased the sticks from https://xcomfort-sklep.pl, completely unproblematic and cheapest at that time. That was a while ago, so I can't speak for the current situation. The 00/13 stick is easily available at finn.no, and I do see the 00/14 sticks there too from time to time (if you have the patience).
The code is pretty fresh at the moment, so it may have room for improvement. Contributions are welcome!

Hi!
I'll preface by saying that I live in Norway, since I get the feeling you do too. Some of my questions are probably easier to answer knowing that.
I've been living for a while in an apartment where an xComfort system was installed by the previous owner. As a long-time user of Home Assistant, I would love to be able to integrate our lights and switches. Your project seems like a good place to start.
As I understand it, I need to get ahold of an Eaton CKOZ-00/14 first and foremost? After that, my understanding is that I should reach out to the electrical company who installed the system, and have them export the required datapoints file.
I would consider buying a used CKOZ-00/13 if it isn't awfully complicated, as that would very likely be cheaper than hiring professionals. However - I'd have to check with the electrical company if they'd be willing to share the password required. Not sure if that's something they're typically willing to do?
Lastly - do you have any suggestions when it comes to getting ahold of a CKOZ-00/14? Would I have to order from Germany or is it possible to purchase in Norway for a reasonable price?
Reading this I realize that the title probably isn't very fitting. I initially phrased it that way to justify submitting an issue, I suppose! Let me know if there's some other way I can reach you and we could talk elsewhere.
Hopefully you find time to answer some of my questions!
