[FEATURE]: Adam more controls/status

[malosaa]

Describe the solution you are looking for

For example, on the homeseer plugin i can use the regulation state of the adam. like: Bleeding hot, Bleeding cold, Off and heating.

If i click the Bleeding hot button, my adam goes to power heat my Nefit NXT so it heats quicker in my home.

In /core/appliances when i select bleeding hot in homeseer it shows up in adam core/appliances

<type>regulation_mode</type>
<unit/>
<updated_date>2022-03-17T10:29:22.828+01:00</updated_date>

<measurement log_date="2022-03-17T10:29:22.828+01:00">bleeding_hot</measurement>
</period>

And this is what u need to add, its in the core/appliances

<actuator_functionalities>
<regulation_mode_control_functionality id="7dd2c3b964c049e7923cfdae2ccc6908">
<regulation_mode_control id="57451d0a44da47e7a3d00c760dae7649"/>
<updated_date>2022-03-17T10:29:22.828+01:00</updated_date>
<type>regulation_mode</type>
<mode valid_until="2022-03-17T10:34:22.831+01:00">bleeding_hot</mode>
<allowed_modes>
<mode>heating</mode>
<mode>off</mode>
<mode>bleeding_cold</mode>
<mode>bleeding_hot</mode>
</allowed_modes>
</regulation_mode_control_functionality>

Most of them are in core/appliances

There are more functionality's what can be added, just look up this: thermostat_functionality id=

Here are the 4 things i love to see added to the adam:

• Domestic hot water setpoint
• Maximum boiler temperature set
• Regulation mode on/off (to control the regulation)
• Regulation mode (Bleeding hot, bleeding cold, heating, off)

I did send the full output on your email

@malosaa I know roughly how the communication works :)

I tried to make it work for max boiler temperature and dhw setpoint. I could change one but I could not change the other. I did capture the http-data that the Adam-website sent when I would change the setpoints. My code did sent exactly the same but one setpoint did not change. I'll try again soon, maybe it was a bug in de Adam software.

Another problem is how to do this in HA. Could be via service but I would prefer to do it via something on the frontend.

More later...

[malosaa]

It should be going via frontend, as i had a vb script for homeseer using to control it a while ago before a fellow developer stefxx released a proper plugin, but i now fully migrated from homeseer to Homeassistant.

but take your time no hurry, but the main feature i need if possible is this: Regulation mode (Bleeding hot, bleeding cold, heating, off)

thanks for the reply, and no hurry.

Would the present homeseer plugwise developer be willing to share parts of his code?

I've asked Rien du Prie who claimed that he had written the homeseer plugwise code, but he stopped responding to my questions.

Rien did quit a long while ago, As stefan did renew the code for homeseer. https://shop.homeseer.com/products/stefxx-plugwise-pro-software-plugin-for-hs4 But its a payed plugin.

Homeseer mainly runs on vb all plugins aswell. I can see and look if i have my old vb script i used before how i handle the devices, i had it before for the p1 and adam, i did make a lot of addons on homeseer on domoticaforum.

But yeah try to contact stefxx he is now the code owner, and he is dutch 2.

[malosaa]

well i did run it in debug mode and i selected the bleeding hot mode, this shows up, dunno if its usefull for you

Setting the regulation mode is working in the backend. Not yet working in pw-beta.

Your debug info is not really helpful because the information you provide does not provide enough details. Although it might point me to a solution for the not-working setpoint :)

Do you have the possibility to install Wireshark?

[bouwew]

A Domestic Hot Water Comfort mode switch does already exist: see the DHW Comfort mode switch under the OpenTherm device.

Yeah i can install wireshark, let me know what i need to do so i can help you. Yeah i ment not the Hot Water COmfort mode switch, i ment an other switch to select eco mode, i did mistake on that one.

I'm just curious, how often do you change settings in your system? And with what purpose? I normally never change anything. The DHW Comfort switch is always off, the system is always in Eco mode. Maybe once every 5 years I change the max boiler temperature setpoint. Only when the winter is very cold.

Well i did change it alot when i was on homeseer, as i had to find the perfect settings. Right now everything is setup right for the past 2 year, and got a lot of money back last 2 years.

Because there was no option to use bleeding hot mode, i buyed 2 electrical heaters for my house, as i have a lot of solar panels and my Power/gas provider pays me the full kwh back that i used. So i slowly move to electrical instead of using gas, as the price is above 2euro now a m3.

but for now its gonna be warmer so no heater needed anymore :)

[bouwew]

Ok, you can try pw-beta v0.22.0a1, it contains a selector for the heating mode. And please note, the bleeding-options are only active for a certain time: 300 seconds or minutes? I'm not sure.

ok ill test, yes its 300 seconds

i think it works, as the intended boiler temp goes quickly up when used bleeding_hot

i did notice a thing, this sensor sensor.auxiliary_device_state for me is unavailable, i did not see this before its on the same page where dhw-comfort switch is

[bouwew]

Yes, that one has been removed, it's replaced by a binary_sensors for heating.

[bouwew]

The possibility to set the max boiler temperature was added in v0.22.0a6.

[malosaa]

Thanks, i will check it out once i'm home

[malosaa]

Sorry for the very late reply, due the busy schedule i have.

I did see an update in HACS, i wait till its beta.

[malosaa]

yes its good, we can close this one :) thanks you guys
