Hi,
I have written a custom integration for the Drooff fire+ combustion control system, which is installed in some Drooff fireplaces.
Installation instructions and an overview of the entities provided can be found at GitHub - tehlers/ha-drooff-fireplus: Drooff fire+ integration for Home Assistant.
This custom integration has so far only been tested with a single Drooff fire+ instance. Experience reports, feedback and suggestions for improvement are welcome.
All the best,
Thorsten
Hi @thehlers
i installed the integration, but i could not connect in HA to the droof fire+.
I tried the real IP, the http://IP and also just the fire.
Is there any trick to connect?
Hi @niwe101187,
both the IP or the hostname should work as long as the hostname is resolved in your local network and the fire+ device is reachable from your Home Assistant. “http://” is added by the integration and should not be added.
You may have a fire+ version with a different API. Check the logs after you have tried to add the integration. If there are entries for ‘Drooff fire+ (custom integration)’, they could help me with further analysis.
All the best,
Thorsten
@thehlers that is the message which appears if if try to connect with the IP

Hi @niwe101187,
the logs confirm my suspicion. Your device has an older version of the software (1.3.38) than the one I have (2.3.4). It looks like between these versions new fields have been added that the integration expects and thus fails.
I think I can make some changes so that the integration works with the older version, too. I will reach out to you in a direct message.
Regarding the use of the hostname I have a theory, too. Can you try “fire.local” instead of just “fire”? If I’m not mistaken that should generate the same error you saw when using the IP address.
All the best,
Thorsten

With the information I received from @niwe101187, I was able to add support for an older version of the fire+ API. The recently released version 1.3.0 of the integration includes this.
All the best,
Thorsten
