Domestic hot water error & VR51 humidity sensor #9

Open acresp opened 4 years ago

acresp commented 4 years ago

Hello, First, thanks a lot for this plugin, it’s totally awesome! I have a VR920 with 7 ambiSENSE VR50 & 1 & VR51 and it seems to work great!

Just two little issue/improvement request

I don’t have a domestic hot water boiler in the multimatic app, but the plugin discovered one and it is showing as error for this component (« no response »), is it normal? Is there a way to remove it?

The VR51 have a humidity sensor built in (shown in the multimatic app). Would it be possible to add it in the plugin?

Again, thanks a lot for your work

Kind regards

Just a little update, I see that the humidity is sent in the request from the Vaillant servers (in the debug log) 🙂

{ "body": { "rooms": [ { "roomIndex": 0, "configuration": { "name": "Cuisine", "temperatureSetpoint": 20, "operationMode": "AUTO", "currentTemperature": 20.5, "currentHumidity": 63, "childLock": true, "isWindowOpen": false,

And about the DHW, that I don't have, I see this in the debug log:

"dhw": [
  {
    "hotwater": {
      "configuration": {
        "operation_mode": "AUTO",
        "temperature_setpoint": 40
      }
    },
    "circulation": {
      "configuration": {
        "operationMode": "AUTO"
      }
    },
    "_id": "Control_DHW"
  }
]

},

Is the DHW added as device by the plugin when its see this branch ? If yes, maybe it could check more parameters to be sure that the device is present in the installation or not ? As I don't have the DHW, maybe the log above is the "default state" returned by the Vaillant servers ?

Sorry again to have neglected to answer you.

If you send me the full details of the answer, I would probably include humidity.

Does it still make sense for you ? Or do you have trouble to connect to vaillant server ?

Hello,

Thanks a lot for your answer. No problems, I understand that it's totally a free time project ;) For my part, I read about the connections issues, I had some strange behaviour one time (I think I wrote a post about it) but for the moment it's working as usual, maybe sometimes there is a "big delay" with the refresh (f.e: I specified some programs to turn on some temp for night & day in the Vaillant app, f.e: 22h it shifts my radiatiors to night temp, It needs some minutes/hours to have the good informations in the Home app), but when I set a temperature with the Home app it works nicely 🙂

So yes, the humidity sensor totally makes sense for me, if you can do something it would be great! Just tell me what you need, to be honest I don't remember where I took the debug with the humidity sensor (which is included in the VR51 and visible in the Vaillant app). I attach you a screenshot of the Vaillant app.

Thanks a lot !

Edit: I found, I re-enabled the debug setting, I have a file for you, but as It contains some informations like serial numbers etc. Can I send you elsewhere ? (mail ?)

acresp commented 3 years ago

Here is the vaillant query debug log, I cleaned the serial numbers, mac address and login stuff 🙂 If you need the debug with them, I can send it by mail 🙂

Thanks a lot!
