Unfortunatly not, I dont believe device adapters should bridge gaps like that
I do need the electrical power to calculate COP indeed, most LG systems allow for an external meter to be installed and sen d it in that way… but I have no idea on how or what.
I use my built in one, but I am also sure its not extremely reliable…
If I would add support for linking to another Homey device that is outside this app, than it will blow up the mem use of this app for example, including full control to the Homey etc etc. Not something I am willing todo.
However if you add an 3rd party energy meter, you can make a virtual advanced device that reads the values from both and do stuff like COP calculations for you.
Exactly the poewr of Homey to do it like that.
Great app, Vincent!
This offers real added value compared to LG's ThinQ integration.
I can confirm that it also works with the LG Monoblock R32 model (type: HM051MR U44).
In principle, all key readings and controls work.
The only exceptions are:
- COP value (this is a known issue, as my unit doesn't detect electrical power consumption either)
- Water pressure
- Defrost status (I haven't been able to test this one yet)
Hey, so i had it working great for 1,5 weeks, then last tuesday homey pro went offline for a few hours. And when it came back heatpump stopped talking to homey, tried everything even swapped out a rs485 gateway for a diffrent one but no difference.
