Jolly Mec synthesis modular 80 + micronova wifi module #49

Hi there !

First of all, thank you for the work you provided on this integration !

I recently bought a jolly mec stove, and cannot say I'm convinced by the terrible micronova app I've got with the wifi module.

My first question would be, when you speak about the micronova board, are you speaking about the wifi module ? Is there anything I can do to connect my stove and monitor/manage it remotely using your app and do I still need the custom made board to do so ?

In any circumstance, I'd like to be able to achieve the following

  1. simply change the temperature so I an keep running in stand-by mode, and go from 23 degrees during daytime to 20c° during night time.
  2. Enable geofencing, so my stove will automatically go back to 20c° qhen out of home
  3. get push notifications (the damn micronova app doesnt send any!!!) when pellet levels are low

If I could reach out to you on any discord chan to discuss this brielfy, this would help me alot I guess. ;)

Thanks !

OK well I did buy your module (even if I achieved all the above and way way more using HA and the official micronova wifi module).

It all worked well but tonight, guess what ? it looks like micronova iot platform is offline (jolly mec app + HA integration are both not working).

SOOOOO, the reason I jumped on your own, homemade, mqtt board just got 100% justified. Expect me to get back to you to get some help getting this running and to replace the official wifi module I got with my stove.

Knowing micronova, I have the feeling they'll cut the cord one day, leaving us all in the limbs. I'd rather get this all local and get rid of the dependenace of their cloud.
