Hi Wout,

App works perfect so far. Same readouts/values as I have via the HomeAssistant integration in Homey.

It would be good if you can have the same readouts as here (there are 47 values): Releases · koenhendriks/ha-eplucon · GitHub

Especially the “Active WW request (on/off)” and “Direct Outlet DG1 (on/off)” can be helpful since these indicate if Hot Water production is active or DG1 is active.

These values are switches around, if this is correct my floor is heating the water and it should be the other way around :upside_down_face: . I think this is the correct way of showing when Cooling the floor because the heat pump is working the other way around in that case. My heat pump is in idle, so I will double check this when the DG1 is active.

Being able to write values would be super useful, doing this via HomeAssistant works, but using 2 ecosystems is not what I want.

Would be also good if you can choose what Capability is shown, the Consumed power i.e.g. is not interesting as I have my own power meter monitoring this (I saw your post about this on GitHub), btw I’m “kenny-s240” on Github :slight_smile:.

My statement about the temperature showing the Wong way around is not correct. It’s from the heat pump perspective, so outgoing water is ‘hot’ and incoming water is ‘cold’.

Thanks Kenny, working in an upgrade, thanks for valuable feedback!

@Kenny_S what installed meter do you have and how do you read the values of that meter? I have this one, but not yet able to read the data [APP][Pro] Eastron - Advanced Energy Monitoring with DIN Rail Meters over Modbus TCP - #7 by Wout_van_den_Dool… Also wondering if it is on a separate fase implemented… And have hopes I can read per fase via Homey P1 powermeter…

Release Notes for v1.2.1:

Full Sensor Parity with Home Assistant Integration

This release adds 26 new sensors, bringing the total to 49 capabilities - matching (and slightly exceeding) the Home Assistant Eplucon integration by Koen Hendriks.

New Features:

  • Status & Mode Monitoring: Operation Mode, Heating Mode, Heating State, Heating Pump State, Alarm Active
  • Hot Water Controls: Active WW Request (on/off), WW Temperature Configured, Warm Water Active, Domestic Hot Water, Heatloading Active/Heating
  • Energy Monitoring: Energy Delivered, Energy Usage, Import/Export Energy, Total Active Power, SPF (Seasonal Performance Factor)
  • Refrigerant Diagnostics: Suction Gas Pressure & Temperature, Expansion Valve Position
  • Pump & Counter Data: Production Circulation Pump, Number of Starts
  • Smart Grid Signals: DG1 (Direct Outlet), SG2, SG3, SG4

Improvements:

  • Type-safe capability value handling
  • Better handling of unavailable sensors
  • Improved reliability of data updates

I have the 3ph pm from Homewizard installed, readout is through the Homewizard app on Homey.

I also have the 3ph pm installed you have installed. This is shown in the Eplucon app and can be used as you do to trigger the Pump, but I’m not using this. These are the house values and not the pump values, kind of a P1 meter.

Maybe stupid question, but I updated the application on Homey but still seeing the capabilities from the first version.

do I need to remove and ad the Heat Pump again for the updated capabilities to show?

Yes you need to remove and re-install… Had the same

Adding the HP is not possible for some reason. Tried reinstalling the app, but no change…

Will fix this after Christmas…:christmas_tree:

“Version 1.3.0 is now available as a new app (nl.eplucon.heatpump). Due to App Store requirements, the app ID had to change. Please uninstall the old version and install the new ‘Eplucon Heat Pump’ app, then re-add your heat pump.”

Works great again!

I noticed the fan speed is in RPM, for some strange reason this is called a speed in the th-touch but it’s actually a percentage value. Depending on the brand of the outdoor unit the speed is about 600-700 rpm at 100%.

The overheating value should be in ‘C and not K
