Weheat for Homey

Description

Monitor your Weheat heat pumps.

Limitations

Other than a few settings, the pump cannot be controlled via the app. Weheat does not support this at this moment.

Donations

I enjoy creating apps for Homey and try to support them as best as I can. If you enjoy using my apps a donation in return for the time I put into this is much appreciated.

Oh wow, that will be great. I have WeHeat warmtepomp too and I think I will love an app on Homey Pro.

The first test version is available!
Please let me know what you think, or if you find any problems/bugs.

So far so good! Very nice to have all heatpump details in Homey so I can take the next step and control it via an opentherm gateway (later this year). Haven’t seen any glitches so far.

That’s fantastic and thanx @evdpol! I can now see it in my Homey Pro. It was great to read it, and as JvdG @JvdG already wrote, now’s the next step to having everything under control.

If you’ve created a nice flow, please let me know. I’m also very interested in what can be done with it. I just had the WeHeat installed, so it remains to be seen how it will perform over the winter months.

Nice to have at least Some info from the Weheat in homey.

Thanks for creating this app.

So far i have created Some flows to inform myself about the status of the heatpump. Eg. Of the heat pump chenges to status legionella, sent a notification ā€œlegionellaā€. However i have noties that in Some case it sents the app still think that the status is stand-by. I think this is a timing issue.

Question: is it possible to add a card to retrieve the actual status of the heatpump ?

So i can make an app likeā€ if status changesā€ then ā€œ retrieve actual statusā€ Sent notification with actual statusā€

In the end I would like to mak a calculation of the actual power that is used while the status is not stand by.

Anyway , many thanks for your effort.

Nice @Jos_ten_Brink, that you have make a legionella flow. Would you like to share your flows with us?

Help: How do you get rid of Legionella? Is there anywhere to see this at WeHeat? I didn’t hear anything about that during installation either.

The flows made are really simpel: just to sent a notification about the status:

So this is not reaal getint rijd of legionella. IT is just monitoring the status of the heatpump.

My problem is that there seems to be a timing issue in the app: sometimes (not Allways) if the heatpump changes from status to e.g. Legionella,I get a notification from another flow that says the heatpump status is stand-by.

@Jos_ten_Brink Thank you for the information. Our heat pump was installed two months ago, so we haven’t been able to use it yet. We’ve tested it, of course, but that’s about it. I’d like it to be winter, so we can test it properly and see what kind of readings it produces.

If you have any advice on flow rates, please let me know.

Thanks @evdpol for creating this app! For me it is more stable then via the HA integration.

The Heatpump is not showing up in the Energy dashboard, probably beacause it does not have a meter_power capability. Any cool trick how to add the heatpump to the Energy tab?

Thanks Edwin for making this app.

I was hoping for it for some time. Our Blackbird is doing very well, the last 6 months, and now I can integrate it in Homey. GREAT!

Hi Eddy,

Thanks for creating this app. I use it to monitor the Blackbird and also to control the pump of the floorheating elsewhere in the house.

I now switch that pomp on and off with the rpm of the blackbird. However there also is an additional pump controlled by the Blackbird controller. It switches that pump on and off and controls the rpm of that pump. It would be better to switch the pump of the floorheating similar to the additional pump rather than the Blackbird rpm. However, there are no triggers related to that additional pump. Would it be possible to add those as well?

@evdpol:

I heard Weheat will sortoff stop their webportal. Instead they wil focus on a new API, with the option to change settings, alike the portal.

The portal will when be just a webinterface for the API.

I hope you’ll be willing to adapt the app to the new API ? It would mean we’ finally will be able to ā€˜steer’ the heatpump with the app…
