Request: Retrieve all status codes #180

Closed barryward-wrd closed 1 year ago

barryward-wrd commented 1 year ago

Would it be possible to retrieve all of the status codes from the Boiler? I would like to be able to detect short cycling of the boiler ie S.24 and S.04. alternatively is there a simple way I could implement this myself via a python change?

Thanks for all your hard work.

Barry

Hello,

depending on your type of boiler, there is a binary sensor with the name of your boiler, something like binary_sensor.vc_be_246_5_3 which is on in case of error. In this entity, there is an attribute Status code which is the status code you want and title, which is a description of the status code

Thanks Thomas, this is exactly the function I was looking to use however the extended attributes are only present when the fault code is not a status code. (!=“STATUS” in the pymultimatic mapper.py) I would like to be able to read and store the current status codes.

Thanks in advance

Attributes are always present in boiler status entity.

There are two different kind of messages coming from the API:

In case of ERROR, this is also a binary_sensor.multimatic_errors, which is on when ERROR message is coming from the API. In that case, there is also Status Code and title for each error

barryward-wrd commented 1 year ago

Ah I see. I don’t have a device for binary_sensor.“boilername” I only have binary_sensor.multimatic_errors. I’m not sure what I need to do to get the other device to be present.

I’m happy to share any details you need if you could help out.

Many thanks.

The binary_sensor."boilername" is only available if there is a STATUS message in the API.

I guess it depends on the boiler type, some users of the integration reported to have while other users don't

barryward-wrd commented 1 year ago

It seems very strange in my case as sometimes I get temperature and status and other times are do not and they are unavailable

Do you have any error in the log ? Most of the time this happens because the API is not available
