Hey! Right now, the app supports only a single gateway. I imagine Homey rarely controls more than this, but if you have a setup on which you can test that, I would be happy to move in that direction.
As for the UDP issues - I tried many different approaches to fix the lack of proper connection handling on the library side, but didn’t decide to go in the direction of forking and modifying the library itself. If you have done that work, and there’s code that works in your testing, I’m happy to push that onto test track in Homey store so it can be tested by the broader group of users. Feel free to submit a PR on Github 
I went one step further and reimplemented the whole library used for connecting to the ComfoLan gateway. The existing library wasn’t not in great shape and patching up would have been more work. I already released it on NPM a couple of weeks ago.
I also reimplemented the Homey app based on the new library and so far (past 3 weeks) it is working well for me.
All of the UDP issues have been resolved but the new library but it isn’t a drop-in replacement for the old one. Supporting multiple ComfoAir devices also required logic to be moved to the driver and device and out of the app class.
Great work on this app! I use it a lot with my Q450.
Today I was wondering if my preheater ever kicks in. The power used by the preheater right now is visible in the Zehnder mobile app but it doesn’t seem to show history.
For history I rely on your app, but I noticed the data fields related to the preheater are not captured by your app.
On the tweakers forum someone mentioned the fields below do have this data, would it be possible to include those in your app?
| pdid | type | description | examplesCol |
|---|---|---|---|
| 144 | CN_UINT16 | Preheater Power Consumption: Total year-to-date | value in kWh (23 kWh) |
| 145 | CN_UINT16 | Preheater Power Consumption: Total from start | value in kWh (23 kWh) |
| 146 | CN_UINT16 | Preheater Power Consumption: Current Ventilation | value in Watt (15 W) |
Thanks for considering!
Is it written in a way that would allow for an easy upgrade from the existing app without breaking flows and metrics? I’m happy to look into the possibility of merging your code to the main app if that is something you’d be willing to do. Or is the plan to release your version separately?
I will take a look. Checked quickly and it seems that the required values are there and are mapped properly by the underlying library, so it should be relatively easy to add these.
Thank you! That is very cool 
I was thinking maybe we can co-maintain the repo’s? I don’t want to publish my app separately and would rather merge it with the existing app. I don’t want to introduce a competing integration if possible 
Hello. Great app that works well for me. With the new energy tab on Homey I was wondering if it would be possible to have the energy consumption shown on the tab? I can only see it in the ‘old’ energy overview. Why is that? Regards Fred
Hi,
It looked like it worked but after a couple of hours the app started crashing again.
Any idea what could be wrong?
Thnks!!
The app crashes a lot. Anyone else got that issue too? I need to restart the app around 3 times and after that, it will work for a couple of minutes or an hour.
Now I’ve turned on the auto restart functions in homey, but that is not a permanent solution.
Would be nice if the creator of the app can give an answer or a hint to what to do about it.
If the app works, it’s awesome. Got some flows in place which would make the use of the comfoconnect worth the money.
I’ve got the comfoconnect pro version, but that also works with the lan c version. Only that it crashes
Thanks for any help regarding this.
Hi! I’m looking into installing a new WTW unit. What I would like to do is have a stepless (traploos) option to adjust the WTW speed. Normally this is only LOW, MED, HIGH but I would like to have more options. Ideally all options between 0% and 100%. From the information in the documentation I cannot conclude if this is possible through the Zehnder ComfoConnect App and Homey.
Does anybody have this information?
Thanks in advance, Remco
Does anyone know about the new comfoconnect pro with wifi, does it also work with the app?

Hi!
Does anyone have the knowledge to give this app some updates? After a couple of updates it just keeps crashing and also crashes my comfoconnct pro. Don’t know how but I have to reset that every couple of days and I have an auto reset for the app with notifications but I’ve turned off the notification because it flooded me.
I noticed that there is an updated version which works with HA. But i have no idea how to let that work with homey.
Thanks for any help.
I’ve done a rebuild of this app a last year and made it available on GitHub. I’ve been running it on my own homey for over 6 months now and it didn’t crash yet.
I haven’t published it as I didn’t want to conflict with the existing app.
It’s pretty easy to setup and install and also supports multiple ComfoairQ units.
Thanks! Let me give that a try!
Comfoconnect doesn’t appear for me in the homey ‘energy’ tab
how to solve this?
And why don’t you publish it? The other one didn’t update his app. If the other one was active in updating and responding, I can understand. TBH I haven’t tried it yet. This weekend I have some time to test your app.
I primarily developer it for myself as I had quite some issues with the current version of the app. I reviewed the code and concluded fixing the current app would be more work then rebuilding it. I had a discussion with the developer of the currently published app but we didn’t really reach a conclusion.
But if the current app is not getting updated any more I can reach out to Homey if I can publish my version. I am not sure what the policy is on having 2 apps for the same device.

You can also try my version of the app. I think that does appear in the energy tab.
where can I find your app?
