Anyone using Duco Ventilation Communication Print Ethernet module?

The boxinfoget command cannot be accessed within 10sec of triggering the rest. Not sure why.

So you need to set different timeouts per rest command for that one to work. I didn’t need that data.

ok thanks

I’ll figure out how to set different timeouts

not sure on how other pulled power though?

The Power value is not present for the WtW systems (type D), only in the MV systems (type C).

I’m trying to connect my new Duco system the same way as described here. But it looks like I have to use different url’s. Like this: https://192.168.1.129/info/nodes/1

Did someone here have the same issue? I have a new Ducobox Energy Comfort with Communication print. Webpage is working, but I can’t find the right url’s/calls.

The result of this url https://192.168.1.129/nodeinfoget?node=1 is {“Code”:10,“Result”:“FAILED”}

Have you tried http:// ? Mine isn’t accessible through https://

SW VERSION: 16036.11.1.0 is shown on mine at bottom of home page.

Can’t find the SW version but the public api version is 2.0.

http is not working, I have to use https. I can get the with value templates like this: {{ value_json.Ventilation.FlowLvlTgt.Val }} with the resource url /info/nodes/1 for example.

Now I have to find out how to POST any data. According to the scripts files it have to be something like /action/nodes/1, but don’t know yet how add the parameters to this.

Please see: https://github.com/miezie/ducoboxopenapi-spec/blob/86616b5130ffa469bfa4519c2eafda86f25f9345/Public%20DUCO%20API%202.0%20-%20api-definition.yaml

Requested it at Duco.
All you need for post. Can you share your code?

Also I have the leveling of IAQ percentages:
IAQ Index
100% - >80% - Excellent
80% - >60% - Good
60% - >40% - Temporary acceptable
<40% - Bad

The API changed with the new Connectivity Board and strategic approach of Duco.

You could fool around with https://editor.swagger.io/ :slight_smile:

Thanks! First one is working!

Awesome! Looking forward to the code. Saves me and the community loads of time.

Hmm, any idea why they came with a new model of the Communication Print which is now the Connectivity Board? One of the advantages I see is that the new Board has Wifi and Ethernet built in, the older Communication Print was Ethernet only.

Might be more powerful. But I don’t know except for the wifi. I do know that I waited for it since I learned about the new board…

I’m about to do a big renovation next year, also going to install mechanical ventilation. Currently considering the Ducobox Energy Premium (2 zone system). For most of the DIY Duco integrations into HA I see that people are able to set the fan mode (auto, manual etc).
I’m really curious whether you guys are also able to control the zone valve. I’ve read about some smart automations that have motion detection in the toilet and turn the fan to 100% after a visit :wink: However if the zone valve is set to the other zone at that moment it doesn’t make much sense.

Controlling the zone valve would also allow for non-Duco sensors to be integrated. The Duco sensors are like 200€ apiece, and it get’s expensive very quickly when you want to add a sensor to kitchen, living room, bathroom and all bedrooms.

Hope you guys keep posting the progress :slight_smile:

I think I just found a (somewhat) cheaper solution. Duco sells these RF switchboxes for 120€. They can be configured to a zone, and by closing a contact on the switchbox the system will ventilate that zone. You would need 1 per zone, and just close the contact with a shelly. Then you can use your own sensors and link them to the shelly via HA.

anyone knows how to do that? i.e. setting different timeouts per rest command?
as apparently boxinfoget command cannot be accessed within 10sec of triggering the rest

I was able to set different timeouts to get the boxinfo data as well. Very convenient to see how much bypass is open and when filter change is due, can even get an alarm on HA for it.

And a template fan…. Way better then drop downs and automations…

Example rest command:


ducobox_mode_change:
  url: https://[[address]/action/nodes/{{ nodeId }}
  method: POST
  headers:
    accept: "application/json"
    content_type: "application/json"
  payload: '{"Action":"SetVentilationState","Val":"{{ state }}"}'
  verify_ssl: false

Created for the new print, but you should get the hang of it…

And for the new print you can read all the nodes at once… strongly advised.

Thanks for this. Would you mind sharing your Duco related config file for the new API’s entirely? Still figuring out templates and rest services in HA…
