Need help controlling my Vitotronic 200 KW2 in KW mode

[mikeww1]

Hi all. Yesterday I managed to install the optolink adapter on my raspberry Zero W with openhabianpi. It was a little difficult for me as I am no Linux Guru. So I want to quote my steps in cas somebody needs that information.

For the quoted prerequisites I executed the following commands: sudo apt-get install librxtx-java sudo apt-get install libslf4j-java

Then I edited optolink.xml. optolink.zip I found the codes for my System here: https://github.com/openv/openv/wiki/Adressen

and started to put them in. I corrected a typo in _outsidetemp

Then I edited start_debug.sh and put in my USB port. Then I started it and its runs perfect. I still have to figure out how to make it autostart.

Then I configured openhab. In order to display something you just have to add a line like that in your items file:

Number outside_temp "HZ Aussentemperatur" (GF_Boiler, gHeating)

Then you have to go to the paper_ui and install the binding. Discover it. Then after a while you get several things in your inbox. When you have added those you will see the channels, Then you have to klick the arrow down on the right side . Suddenly more information appears and now you can connect the channel to your item. You have to repeat that for every item.

So far it works well. Today I tested further and found the following problems.

There is a party mode switch and a savemode switch . When I activate either switch in the Openhab User Interface the adapter semms to send it out,

18:42:35.374 [Thread-133] DEBUG de.myandres.optolink.SocketHandler run - Execute Thread for: 'set circuit1:savemode ON' 18:42:35.385 [Thread-133] DEBUG d.m.optolink.OptolinkInterface flush - Input Buffer flushed 18:42:38.034 [Thread-133] DEBUG de.myandres.optolink.SocketHandler run - Thread for: 'set circuit1:savemode ON' done

But the savemode is not activated on the heater. If I activate the switch on the heater it gets updated in the UserInterface afte the next poll from openhab. I had to use the addresses from circuit2 3302 and 3303 . I edited Circuit 1 with these Addresses just to test. So dont get confused by the logs.

Now the next problem: The sending does not work

When I change the Party Switch on the Web Interface or the IOS App the Switch turns off and back on again by itself. The logs show the following:

2018-02-05 18:28:32.280 [vent.ItemStateChangedEvent] - partymode changed from ON to OFF

2018-02-05 18:28:54.117 [GroupItemStateChangedEvent] - gHeating changed from 31.25 to 31.42 through partymode

here the agents log:

Thanks for quotting your steps. I also failed several times. How did you manage the points 2 & 4 from the readme. I can not find the optolink-runtime.zip file? Thanks
