Controlling the program of an Ecostrad iQ Ceramic

Configuration
1

So I just set up Home Assistant to integrate an Ecostrad iQ Ceramic radiator. Now I abandoned trying to do it through the official tuya integration as that just mapped the device poorly. I also couldn’t work localtuya as the configuration flow didn’t really work with the API of the radiator. The best result I got was from the tuya-local integration (which has a specific configuration for it).

Now one thing i’m trying to get working in HA is the same scheduler that the Smart Life/Ecostrad Ecosystem app supports. Which sets a schedule saved on the radiator itself. Although not implemented by any of the tuya integrations, the radiator does expose a raw type week_program8 DP that could be used to send a schedule though a) I haven’t quite worked out what the Smart Life app sends precisely and b) I can’t quite work out how it would be possible to implement this in HA?

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas?

Hey, sorry for bumping an ancient thread but just wondering if you ever got anywhere with this? I’m in the same boat, have a few Ecostrad iQ’s and currently just have them linked with the regular tuya integration but it’s completely broken as there’s not even a “Switch on” command to wake the radiators when they’re off and as you say there’s no way to set schedules.

Also no real metrics so you could record e.g. how long and how often each radiator has been actively heating and drawing power

Hi, bumping this again to see if anyone has made any progress with controlling an Ecostrad iQ radiator?

Thanks
