Support for VPL 25 #38

Closed netforceatg closed 1 year ago

netforceatg commented 1 year ago

Hello,

I have a VPL25c with a CTS602 board with old push button display. I believe this is very similar to VPL 15c which is already supported by this integration.

I replaced the CTS600 with a CTS602 - 512 motherboard back in 2021, to get Modbus interface. The board runs sw version 2.37.C. I've used a Modbus TCP adapter by the name of Hi-flying elfin EE11 (RS485 to ModBus TCP) to control VPL25c manually up until this point and has been working fine. But I would very much get it nicely integrated to Home Assistant

When I try to add it this integration to home assistant with the ip address it says device not supported. How can I help to get this VPL28c supported by this integration?

Thanks, I will add support ASAP.

Does your model have the night cooling function?

netforceatg commented 1 year ago

I don't think it does, 90% sure. I've gone through the menus many times, but never seen this option.

The only way I can think is it might have come in after I replaced the control board from CTS600 to CTS602. I can double check in a few weeks timer(as the ventilation system is on a remote location cabin, and I can only remote control it by modbus per today)

Also I would very much appreciate a picture of the panel where it reads VPL 25c. It's just for documentation.

Wow, that was fast. And I just tested it, seems to be working great!

Thank you 🙏

I’ll post the picture of the panel next time I’m at the location.
