An ebusd add-on

Yes, of course I can.

Hi,

I am new to this and i have a few first questions. I am running HA on a RPI4 with no monitor, so i can only see the HA-Websites.
In which directory is the addon running? I want to follow the “Top Tips”, Bulletpoint two:

  • Git clone the ebusd-configuration files to your /config folder and edit the config files for your heating system. Add a number 1-9 (1 high priority, 9 low prioirty) after the r at the start of each line and eBUSd will poll that reading automatically.

And: how ist the third Bulletpoint done:

  • Once your heating system has been detected change the device name from “ebusd bai” to the name of your boiler e.g. “ecoTEC pro”

I can see a few things already. I have the following devices connected to a eBUSd Adapter V5:
Vaillant
ecoTEC plus VCW 20/26 CS 1-5, Produkt 0010022010, Adresse 08, BAI00, SW1002, HW7603
sensocomfort VRC 720/2, Produkt 0020260914, Adresse 15, CTLV2, SW0514, HW1104

It seems that i am using ebusd-2.1.x but i don’t know if en or de. where can i see this (probably 08.bai.csv). But there is no 15.ctlv2.csv…

Is anybody who can explaine me how on ebusd adapter i can use correct config file for my boiler and how find this file ?
This config we can edit to specify only paramatres whis we want ?

I have Vaillant EcoCompact VSC206 4-5 with controller Multimatic VRC700/6 and external module sensor/pump VR71.

How can i wirte the logfile to an external file?

Hi Sebastian

Strange
becasue i have also a Sensocomfort 720/2 and it will be detect as basv device on ebusd
im using a ebus adapter v3.1 over wifi

my issue is that basv has no “z1HeatingRoomTempDesiredManualControlled”
or i didnt fint it in 15.basv.csv

Hi Peter,
which Product-Code, HW and SW ist displayed on the eBUSd-Log?

Sebastian

Hi Sebastian
Well good question
in the mqtt explorer i see
= { “MF”: {“value”: “Vaillant”}, “ID”: {“value”: “BASV2”}, “SW”: {“value”: “0507”}, “HW”: {“value”: “1704”}}

it is a sensocomfort 720 /2 F, it is the wireless one

Hi Peter,
i have a sensocomfort VRC 720/2, CTLV2, SW0514, HW1104 which is connected via 2-wire ebus. So they are diffent hardware…

But i am still looking for a detailed Guide to do this:

  • Git clone the ebusd-configuration files to your /config folder and edit the config files for your heating system. Add a number 1-9 (1 high priority, 9 low prioirty) after the r at the start of each line and eBUSd will poll that reading automatically.

Where ist that /config folder?

Sebastian

the config folder is where your yaml files are
but when i use the command

git clone https://github.com/john30/ebusd-configuration.git
if [ -d /etc/ebusd ]; then sudo mv /etc/ebusd /etc/ebusd.old; fi
sudo ln -s $PWD/ebusd-configuration/ebusd-2.1.x/de /etc/ebusd

then it is under /etc/ebusd

Hi Peter,
thanks for the help.
I only installed the addon, so i am not sure, where my yaml files are.

My “file editor” in HA shows files in /homeassistant or in /. In /etc there is no ebusd.
I also have the “teminal” addon, so i should run your command in that?

Can you show me, which files are under /etc/ebusd in your system? And how they do look like inside?

And i havt to adjust the configuration of the add on?

Hi there,

how do i run ebus-commands like “ebusctl find” or “grab result” in this addon?

Sebastian

In terminal cd /etc/ebusd.

ok, that’s done

in the config I set the TCP client port under network to 8888. Now I could access it with Putty, just connect the IP of the HA, port 8888 with Telnet. Then the commands that can be found in the ebusd wiki in chapter 3.1 work. 3.1. TCP client commands · john30/ebusd Wiki · GitHub

Hi,

so i can see a lot of vaulues now. But how can i change them (if they are like the “Hc1HeatCurve”)?
An how must i configure it, that the values are displayed not with the “name” in the csv but with the “[comment]”?

Sebastian

hello, can someone please advise me step by step how to proceed so that my ebusd uses local files, and also how to set it up so that I can write to the boiler registry? i need to reset the energy counter

Hi, can you or somebody else explain why you would recommend using MQTT? As this is the default option in the add-on also, that seems to be the recommend setup.
I know MQTT is great because it’s very fast even over wifi on esps, but that’s all not the case here? What are the advantages over this Integration, that’s part of core? I guess it would be disputable if the ebusd Service was running on another server but this add-on is literally online usable on the Home Assistant server

Hi
i have a working ebusd since the last year
but im not sure which update
HASS OS or HASS CORE i dont get all values anymore in mqtt

i see in the hass core changelogs changes to mqtt

is there a change needed for autodiscovery file ?

Had this with 2024.2.1 as well: It sounds stupid but once HA is restarted for some time (±10min); I stopped and after 2-5 minutes I started ebusd add-on again and everything was working again.

Hey, long time ago, I know, but could you ever solve this?
