4 months ago My first suggestion would be like this:
com.victronenergy.heater
/Ac/Energy/Forward <--
/Ac/L1/Power <-- L1 Power used (W)
/Ac/L2/Power <-- L2 Power used (W)
/Ac/L3/Power <-- L3 Power used (W)
/Ac/Power <-- AC Power (W)
/Temperature/1 <-- Temp Sensor 1 degrees Celcius
/TemperatureType 0=waterIN; 1=waterOUT 2=generic
/Temperature/2 <-- Temp Sensor 2 degrees Celcius
/TemperatureType 0=waterIN; 1=waterOUT 2=generic
/Temperature/3 <-- Temp Sensor 3 degrees Celcius
/TemperatureType 0=waterIN; 1=waterOUT 2=generic
/HeatingTime <-- Total heating time (seconds)
/Connected <--
/Current <-- Charging current actual (A)
/Mode <-- 0=Manual
1=Auto
/Model <-- Model, e.g. MyPV ACthor MyPV ELWA or HeatPump or RV Heater
/Position <--
/Status <-- 0=disconnected, 1=connected, 2=heating, 3=heated,
4=waiting, 5=waiting for start
To be aware of high load of electrical heater such as heat pump or MyPV heaters etc it would be great to have a heater device in dbus like ev charger but in combination with temperature values (of water for instance). https://github.com/victronenergy/venus/wiki/dbus
Would it be possible to have a device with energy and temperature values as a dedicated device?
I also really would like to see the heater load in the vrm so the first step would be a heater device in dbus.
