DHW (direct hot water) on/off/auto option in the app #29

Open fate8383 opened 2 years ago

I am not sure if this is possible but ct200 uses the same backend as buderus tc100 v2 so i am not sure if you have direct hot water feature on your end but I do and I am heavily using it from official app. It is very strange as this is the only way to use it, on the wall unit i can only turn on and off, there is no scheduling like auto would do. Via app i can on, off and auto which is scheduled like heaters. Is there any way we can bring this feature to HomeKit? not sure as it will have to have three options on/off/auto why i am trying to get on homekit is not really an addiction but really official app fails sometimes and i have to physically detach and attach the wall unit to get it working. On the other hand homekit never fails :) thus leads me to use more homekit, especially when i am away from home then homekit is the only responsive piece. Not sure what is it with their official app, no support from their end, keep saying check wifi etc.. but obviously this is their app problem as homekit still works. Thanks

I think simple on/off would be fine, "on" will be acting like auto, which will follow schedule DHW and "off" will be simply off. Very similar to away mode basically.

Just wanted to add that there's a difference between "on" and "auto" on System Boilers (maybe not for Combi).. "On" means the water in the cylinder will be brought to temp if it is not already.. whereas "Auto" will only be On/Off dependent on the hot water schedule.
