Remora Inverter Swimming Pool Heat Pump sort of working.

[paulmfclark]

Hi,

Great work on this integration. I have a Remora Inverter Swimming Pool Heat Pump that uses the Tuya smart life app and it is mostly working using the standard heater type.

This is a link to the heatpump https://www.automatedenvironmentalsystems.co.uk/product/remora-inverter-swimming-pool-heat-pump/

Had to add it to configuration.yaml to get it to show up but then Integration is able to power on and off and read current temp. Not able to set target temp or change heating modes.

I have pulled the DPS IDs with tuya-cli and worked out all of the values which are as follows

dps":{"1":true,"2":30,"3":30,"4":"heat","9":0}

1 - On Off - r/w true = On, false = Off 2 - Desired Temp - r/w in C 3 - Current Temp - r/o 4 - Heating mode - r/w - heat = Smart Heating Mode, h_powerful = Powerful Heating Mode, h_silent = Silent Heating Mode , cool = Smart Cooling Mode, c_powerful = Powerful Cooling Mode 9 - Error codes - 0 = OK, 1 = Water Flow protection

Would it be possible to add this type of heater to the library. If you can what other info would be required?

I think the only other info required is the range for the desired temperature.

I would expect the desired temperature to work within the range of overlap between the Goldair GPPH's 5-35 and whatever the range is for your heater. Probably it gets an error if you try to go too low though.

I am currently refactoring to use generic classes instead of one for every new device that is supported. What I will do is add a configuration file for this device, and when the generic climate class is ready, it will be supported.

The desired temp range is 5 to 40.

The Control when added to the dashboard does not give an option to set the desired temp. If a preset is selected then the temp selector shows up but then the following error occurs and it switches back to heat mode.

The Goldair "heater" type has a dependence on the preset for the allowed temperature range. Simpler options that might work better are "gsh_heater" and "purline_m100_heater", which also match the first three dps ids, but do not have any complexity in their temperature setting. gsh_heater is probably the best match, as its range is 5-35. purline is 15-35 so will have a reduced range.

The gsh_heater type allows changing the desired temp. I didn't spot the similarity of this device for the first three dps ids. Thanks for the pointer.
