BWT - Best Water Tech­nology - Support

…and thanks for sharing your code :+1:

Hi Holger,
first I was a little bit surprised that this works, but after a second, i have realized that this line affects only the BWT Aqua perla sensor.
The blendedwater-sensor get its information from the initial configuration…

Hi Sascha,
I added the line, just in case, won’t be harmeful :wink:

hey, everyone is happy with cloud based solution or is there any interest on VNC and OCR based solution?
I was thinking about accessing to web interface using python VNC and read the values real time (almost) rather than daily. I want this to catch continuous/unexpected water flow.

Or, I might need to read all the latest updates on this post first :slight_smile:

Hi fuatakgun,
The latest beta firmware provides a local API solution.

I am living in Luxemburg and couldn’t find the responsible customer support team yet :slight_smile:

I sent you a PM.

Have you checked your Engery Dashboard? There were a lot of problems with the cloud version when you loaded the values ​​more often during the day and when restarting HA.

Does it look better there with the local API that there are correct values ​​in the Energy Dashboard with water consumption and a total_increasing or total sensor?

Unfortunately I haven’t been able to test it yet because the firmware has been delayed for 3 months. I’m still waiting for approval from BWT.

Using the local one I have no issues so far.
I got the firmware after asking 3 times by accepting the conditions.

Maybe ask for the most current beta again. I have contacted the BWT Profiline (Germany) - [email protected]

Maybe that helps

Thanks, will give it a try.

Ok nice, did you try to restart you system one or two times during a day?

Yes not sure if I try the Beta and the accept the conditions. It’s confusing that they postponed it for 3 month. I mean it’s not really a big and complex API.

same here.

I tried using the curl command / HA restarts many times.
The local API seems not to be throttled somehow.

thanks all, my device had finally updated with 2.0209 but I could not find how to enable local api? any help is appreciated. I enabled the local api on the device Settings / General Information / Connection / API menu.

Is it still beta firmware or GA?

Beta version

Ok thanks for the update

Hello,
Another one with this decalcifier, due to this post and a very good price I got.
Last monday it updated to 2.018, but there is no local api there, and it lost ipv4 connectivity after a couple of hours, so no vnc connection then. With the previous firmware, 2.017 I also lost ipv4 connectivity but it last longer…
Anyway, I would like to update to the beta and get rid of bwt app but, I contact customer service in Spain and they don’t have a clue about this…the technician even told me that to update the firmware,a person should go to my place to do that…it cannot be done other way, he said…:face_with_monocle:
In this thread there is an e-mail : [email protected]
So I guess I’ll get in contact with them and see what they tell me.
One question: what about get the total control of this linux unit? I mean there is a ssh server there…could be a interesting approach get root and , that way we could get all the sensors (motion sensor for instance) and switches under our control…not easy, sure…

That must be a hoax. :wink:
At least in my case, nobody came to do an update locally.

Well, it was more his lack of knowledge about this unit than a hoax, I guess. He told me that they had sell 2 or 3 units in Spain of this model…
And for sure, they update the unit through internet, mine has updated two times already (factory version-2.017-2.018)

I got in contact through the e-mail but, I just got a pdf with the curls commands, they didn’t update me the firmware. I sent other e-mail asking it again but, no answer yet…
