Incorrect solar temperature (reading gas temperature value) #2

Closed benkemal closed 1 year ago

benkemal commented 1 year ago

I have both solar & gas heating, however plugin seems to only read the gas temperature. I rarely use the gas heater so the reading is always reporting incorrect value. Any ideas on how to resolve to get correct reading for solar?

The API that astral provide only gives the pump temperature which for what I understand is the temperature of the heater side of the system. My temperatures coincide with this but it looks like your setup maybe different. My temperature settings come from heater and solar only reflects actual temperature when running.

Thanks for the quick reply and all your work on this plugin. Looks like API limitation on the Astral side so will close this issue as /api/poolstatus only has one temperature value which appears to come from the gas heater.

I'll raise feature request with Astral to see if they could expose the pool water temperature reading from the solar heater in the API.
