I have immediately deinstalled the not working Homey version and left the HA version (which is actually just a mirror of the one running in HA) in place. So, no extra calls there. In HA the calls are already minimized to a max of 1450 a day, that’s done in the setup of the HA integration. So, no harm done.

Everything looks ok, the only thing that is different is the fact that you don’t have a boiler serial, but that is not used by the program, only for display purposes.

Someone earlier on posted this:

Could you try if this maybe helps in your situation? If it is the case, I’ll add it to some docs, but I don’t have a clue where it comes from.

v0.6.2 is available now for test (and soon in the regular app store as stable too)

This will fix:

- % sign for the modulation
- icon for the eco mode
- gas meter names

I suspect that you are still using the (deprecated) device-specific drivers. Because for those I forgot to update the names for the gas meters. Could you try switching to the generic ones? I would like to remove the deprecated ones by v1.0.0.

Hello Kenny,

I try the v0.6.1 and I can connect to my boiler !  
I was checking from a long time for a Viessmann app in the store and … you did it.  
Thank a lot.

Let me know if I can help with translations to swedish because the words are actually strange translated in the ViCare app.  
For example Day and Night (which is easy to understand) is “Normal” and “Reduced” in swedish so initialt it might take some time for new user to understand what temperature is what. I can translate it so it matched the ViCare app.

For the translations, I’ll get back to you all about it. I want to make some parts more generic that it is easier to perform the translations.

You probably already have an interface you like to use to manage translations.  
If you don’t, you can maybe have a look at:

It seems as if in a previous version of the app (I am currently on 0.6.2) when activating either “comfort” or “eco” mode, the other mode was automatically deactivated.  
Today this not happening (anymore?). This results in situations where both modi are activated.

Can anyone confirm this?

Sadly I cannot test, it seems something was earlier today off with the Viessmann API at my side, and now pairing does not work for me due to a gateway timeout on the Viessmann API.

Also in the app crash reports I regularly get Gateway Timeout from people. I suspect there is something wrong with the Viessmann servers currently.

I have just cross-checked the API through Home Assistant. I currently don’t see any issues with the HA Viessmann integration. But what I can tell is that the Viessmann API has been very unpredictable over the years to say the least.  
Everything seems to be there ATM.

I have the impression it is the auth api that gives time-outs.

Hi,  
sorry I can’t log in.  
I created a Viessmann client for IObroker a long time ago (it’s stopped now)  
What am I doing wrong?

A new version available on the test portal: v0.7.0

This release performs a number of changes:

- The UI is updated accordingly when flows trigger changes now.
- Support for Vitovalor (Fuelcell) devices. Be aware that you can only use this if you have an Advanced package from Viessmann (this package is not free). If you use the basic package, the Vitovalor device will work, but with limited possibilities.
- An internal refactoring to make it easier for me to add more devices.

Install possible using: [Viessmann App for Homey | Homey](https://homey.app/a/be.functor.viessmann/test/)

I’ll submit it later today for approval and publication to stable.

Hello,  
sorry, I’m being a bit stupid.  
Do I have to set something in the browser (ad blocker is deactivated)  
I’ve had a client with Viessmann for a long time.  
At the moment I’m using it for the IOBroker, and I get data from Viessmann every 15 minutes.

when I go to test at the bottom right:

then it doesn’t go any further

Hey,

In the Viessmann Developer Portal, under the client, you should specify the correct redirect Uri.

Refer to the getting started guide for the correct redirect Uri. [Getting Started · Wiki · Functor Solutions / Homey / Viessmann · GitLab](https://gitlab.com/functor-solutions/homey/viessmann/-/wikis/Getting-Started)

If you don’t mind a few comments:  
The number of accesses to the API is 1450 (including accesses from the app on the phone).  
I’m already reaching the limit.  
It would be nice to be able to configure the API loads myself.  
e.g. every 3-5 minutes would be enough for me - at the moment it’s set to 1 minute (?)  
It would be nice to get statistics for all 14 values.  
(I currently have 10 out of 14 values)

 ![vito11](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/3/f/3f6870dc41b6efea2ff2ffe720543af8921ee361.png)

Same here!

Also: _Burner hours_ and _Burner starts_ would indeed be nice to have as a statistic.

And: It would be nice to have the _ECO_ / _Comfort_ status as a trigger in a hopefully not so distant future. This would simplify a lot of my automations.

And: In Actions, _ECO_ / _Comfort_ status can only be activated; they cannot be deactivated?

Having the Comfort Temperature Setpoint as a trigger would also make sense.  
This would allow to push a set temperature from the Viessmann thermostat to secondary devices. Thus positivily influencing the WAF. Today, I push the temperature set on a virtual device to all secundary devices. Needless to say the wife is not happy about this 😆

@KennyMoens : Wouldn’t it be time to have a donation-button? I’m really happy with the app and the progress you are making !! ☺
