Hi, thanks for raising this. The plugin is quite outdated and some major changes happend to homebridge in the last years. Tbh I thought nobody but me is using the plugin. Unfortunately I guess i will not be able to contribute any updates in the near future since I'm not very up to date with the current development of homebridge.

Maybe you like to give it a try starting from a current homebridge plugin template. I guess current templates are written in Typescript, so thi might need some adoptions. And most likely the homebridge communcation pattern needs to be adopted to reponse faster and sent an extra notification, after the slow vcontrold communication was done.

The vcontrold specific part should not be to complex and I will be happy to assist.

Kind regard Stefan

Hi, thanks for your reply! In between i've started using https://www.npmjs.com/package/homebridge-viessmann-control to build my own plugin, and add the functionality of yours. I've always wanted to get into hombridge plugin development ;) Let me know if you might be interested in the result. Kind regards and merry christmas!
