@albertjSmit, so I have basically the same setup running now (yay for rainy weekend in NL).
I’m also pulling out the power consumption. Somehow the total pressure value seems static regardless of the fan level. I’ve tied things to my CO2 sensors and so far it’s working as intended.
@sender, AFAIK there are some other projects which use the serial port for connected (ESP or similar) but I’m not sure if you can actually set the fan speeds that way.
Fan speed should be possible to set according to above and below.
Ducobox RF gateway
De RF gateway maakt gebruik van een CC1101 om de ducobox draadloos aan te sturen. De unit gedraagt zich als een CO2 bedieningsschakelaar. De unit registreert de actuele ventilatiemodus, kan de ventilatiemodus wijzigen en kan een override percentage instellen (ventilatiesnelheid ongeacht de gekozen modus).
Hello all. New to Duco. Have been playing with the JSON on nodeinfoget?node=3 etc., works great. Yet, in the installer-mode of the app I raised the max flow rate for the standard for the RH valve, since I want it ‘to suck harder’ when showering. :-).
The values I want to read are ‘automax’ and ‘capacity’.
Any idea where to find them?
Any idea where to find any documentation on JSON and the Duco API?
Hi, I just received my DucoBox Energy Comfort with Communication Print.
Reading through the above, it looks that its possible to get the integration working. Just wondering 2 things as last comm is 2 years ago.
If I want to have a wired connection to the unit that will allow for reading out the values and also allow to control the unit. What is the best and easiest way? Which of the 2 options above is best for it?
And as I am not electronic technician, I could use some extra assistants to make sure I am doing things right. Anyone able to give me some extra assistance?
Thanks for the quick response! However I dont understand the setup at the site. You need to buy extra hardware even though I have bought the communication print? Can you give me in a few bullet flow steps what needs to be done to get it to work? Its just confusing for me at the moment. I hope I can just use the communication print I bought and connect a network cable to it so I can get home assistant to work with it. Fingers crossed.
Hi, so I dont need to buy any additional hardware and can just use the communication print and a rj45 Ethernet cable to connect to the unit for simple setup? This is not clear to me. I think I have found the steps under the wiki section. Home · arnemauer/Ducobox-ESPEasy-Plugin Wiki · GitHub I will have another look here.
There is an even better way to integrate your Ducobox in HA : Click
Everything is opensource, software and hardware, all files are available online. There is support for DIY valve,s so you can open and close certain rooms to ventilate them/ stop ventilation.
One downside: RF is NOT supported
