Checklist

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It would be nice to have the ability to also change settings on f the heat pump within settings.

Describe the solution you'd like

There was a way (using a rooted android device) to get an access token to be able to change settings of the heat pump rather than only gain insights. It would be amazing to, for example, dynamically change electricity and gas prices based on current prices for those with a dynamic energy contract.

Describe alternatives you've considered

None

Additional context

None

I would really like this feature and I initially was exploring the use of the mobile API. Especially since I have a dynamic energy contract as well. But, as you mentioned, it requires a rooted phone, and currently I don't have one lying around. I tried an emulator but that doesn't work with the firebase app check.

I hope they will either add functionality to the local API or add support for dynamic energy prices in the app. But currently I have the diyless thermostat connected to the Quatt CIC and integrated in Home Assistant. This allows me to automate changing the target temperature based on the daily gas price, hourly electricity prices and our presence and work schedules.

Hi Marco, I am really interested in also using diyless as thermostat. Can you confirm this works with Quatt, I am assuming since you use it, it works? Also, is there a different forum where we could discuss (tweakers?) without misusing this thread?

So, over the last few days it has been clear that the diyless thermostat works really well! I see frequent room temperature updates. It gives a control setpoint that sometimes goes a little mad but the Quatt seems to ignore that and use the room setpoint correctly, which is in line with what was communicated from Quatt about only using the room temperature and setpoint and decides on modulation by itself. I have also been able to use 0.5 degrees increments without causing it to use gas, even with these temps and living in an old house. Thats helps me to lower the temps and going to a lower modulation during peak hours or at nights (not usefull with current temps/prices).
