There seems to be an issue with the Remeha API not returning the outside temperature anymore.

My installation has a wired outdoor temperature source, which hasn’t been updated in the last 12 hours. However, the outside temperature is updated in the Remeha Home App.

I found this resource that confirms my suspicions that it could be API related:

I hope Remeha fixes this because some of my flows depend on this local outdoor temperature source. Until this is fixed, I would probably have to switch to, for example, the KNMI source.

Im not sure if its Remeha related because the API does report the correct temperature. In my case -1,5 is also what Remeha app is indicating

but the Homey app doesn’t seem to update. Restarting the app doesn’t fix it.

@Marcus_Bitterling, you are correct!

I checked in the wrong place for the received data. I checked the app’s debug info instead of the device’s latest API answer.

The data received matches the data in the Remeha Home app. It’s 1 ºC in my situation.

"outdoorTemperatureInformation": 
{
  "outdoorTemperatureSource":"Wired",
  "internetOutdoorTemperature":null,
  "applianceOutdoorTemperature":1,
  "utilizeOutdoorTemperature":null,
  "internetOutdoorTemperatureExpected":false,
  "isDayTime":true,
  "weatherCode":"light fog",
  "cloudOutdoorTemperature":1,
  "cloudOutdoorTemperatureStatus":"Ok"
},

Interesting. So, the API is probably not the issue here.
Several restarts of the Remeha Home Homey app and a restart of Homey itself did not refresh the data.

My outdoor temperature is also stuck at 4 ºC.

Has Remeha perhaps made an API change?

In the debug data from the time the app was installed on Homey (8-12-2024), I see that the API reported the same value for “outdoorTemperature” in addition to “applianceOutdoorTemperature”.

Today’s API response data no longer lists “outdoorTemperature” and only “applianceOutdoorTemperature” is listed.

@ChrisTerBeke, is this something you can check?

Homey Pro (Early 2023) version 12.3.1 / Remeha Home v0.3.5

Might be Remeha changed something on their end because there was a long time issue with outdoor temperature not displaying on the eTwist correctly, only dashes. Lately it seems to work more reliably.
I’m afraid if the API stops reporting Tout, it can’t be fixed. Perhaps @ChrisTerBeke can resolve or confirm this.

126

My suggestion was acknowledged on the Github page for the Home Assistant Remeha app.

The “outdoorTemperature” field is no longer present in the Remeha API.
As I suggested, the declaration for this field should be changed to “outdoorTemperatureInformation.applianceOutdoorTemperature”.
They have already released a new version for Home Assistant.

@ChrisTerBeke could you change this also and release a new (test-) version?

127

@ChrisTerBeke any idea if you could fix the outdoor temperature on short term? Seems like a simple change because the API is still reporting it.

Also it seems with this API return it would be possible to indicate if the heating is active or not.

activeComfortDemand":"ProducingHeat

Perhaps it’s possible to add it to the status screen or include it in a flowcard.

If I can assist you in any way just let me know.

Kind regards,
Marcus

@robkor @Marcus_Bitterling Thanks for the information, this is easy to change, I’ll get to that this weekend.

If you want a test release to be tested, just let me know.
:+1:t3:

I have published a test version here: Remeha Home | Homey. The outside temperature sensor should be working again.

I can confirm that the outdoor temperature is being updated again. Thanx for releasing the fix.

Thanks! Works again.
Not possible to include the heating as suggested?

133

Since this new version, I’ve been experiencing an issue when setting a new target temperature. The app throws a failure “Missing Capability Listener: target_temperature”. I restarted the app on Homey, and did a new login. This didn’t change the issue.

It’s no longer possible to change the target temperature from a flow or manually in the app. When I change the target temperature in the Remeha Home app on iOS, that temperature is shown in the Homey app.

@ChrisTerBeke, can you look into this, and fix this issue?

134

I can confirm this. Same here

135

I’ll have a look at this as soon as I get home from work.

I have released a patch that fixes the temperature adjustment issue. Should be live on the Homey App Store by now.

Thanks @ChrisTerBeke :+1:
I can confirm that it works again.
Again if you can find the time for this.
The API reports when heating is active or not. See screenshots.
ActiveZoneComfortDemand ‘ProducingHeat’ or ‘Idle’
Perhaps incorporate it in the info screen as Heating Yes/No and include a tag?
Thanks again for the quick follow up.

Ok, I’m about to update…

Just wondering , my heatpump has an outside temperature sensor, will it work with that ?

141

Hi Chris,

Hope you’re oké and also if you’re still developing and maintaining the app.
If so I hope you can enhance the app with several API reports like mentioned above and also this one concerning cooling mode

Running",“activeThermalMode”:“Cooling”,“operatingMode”:“AutomaticCoolingHeating”,"

I think the API reports a lot of info that still can be added and used in the app and flowcards.

If you lack time I’m happy to help but I will need some pointing in the right direction regarding programming of the app.

Kind regards,

Marcus

Hi @Marcus_Bitterling,

Good news and bad news: the bad news is that I hardly have the time anymore to work on my side projects, which includes the Remeha Home app for Homey. The good news is that Homey have reached out and are making this an official app, supported by their own developers and the supplier. In this process, they will fork my code repository and I’ll ask them to have a look at the existing backlog items, which includes the cooling mode feature. Another benefit is hopefully official support from the supplier for their API (currently it’s piggybacking on the un-official API they use for their own Remeha Home mobile app).

So hopefully some updates for this app in the near future!

Chris

Thanks for the update Chris and your hard work so far! Great job. :clap:

Any timeline known when Homey will release it?

I guess we just have to regularly check if there’s a new Remeha app?

Kind regards, Marcus
