Data format not suitable for heterogenous product families?! #15

Open speters opened 6 years ago

The current data format is not well suited for heterogenous product families.

I had a closer look at the feature set/supported functions of various Viessmann devices. Data is based on investigations of the Viessmann VitoSoft Demo.

Whileas the family of GWG marked on the bottom right seem to be quite uniform, the more recent family of Viessmann devices marked on the top, which are more important to the common vcontrold user, is quite heterogenous.

Currently, the XML config excludes devices when a device does not support a function. This should be changed to an inclusion scheme.
