do you have any experiance with Postman?

90

no I’m sorry

91

last resort you send me private mesage with your login, password and gatewayid for debuging from my side.

92

At the end the @Fsangalli79 system is an Heat Pump with totally different queries and responses.
At the moment it’s not in plan to support Heat pump system or at least this implementation.

93

The AppDaemon can now be found on the official Home Assistant Community Store!

I’ve set up a dedicated thread to assist upcoming users.

Greetings!

here an elco heatpump is installed and the ELCO RemonconNET app is used to control the HP.
As I’m missing essential infos showing in the app I want to acces all available data by myself and collect it in a file.
So far I got all showed in the RemonconNET elco app.

However I’m miising essential infos like
‘is heatingFlowPump on’
'temparature of heatingFlow ’
etc.etc.

I know that the elco service men have unrestricted access to all data my HP is sending to the Remoncon server in italy.

Is there a possibility to gain access to all data my equipment is sending?

Thanks for reading.

if you add a debug log off the full json data’s of the appdaemon receive, It’s possible to add theres entiies.

at line 18 on my code add

self.log(data)

If the informations came from another API/route, I need to get access to the gateway to sniff the Remoncon trafic.

Hi nechry, so my hybrid elco heating solution is done. I received and installed the Remocon Net Mini today and set it up in the app.

What I need to be able to do now is set the electricity cost per kWh in the Hybrid Energy Manager like I can do at the console on the wall. The app doesn’t show such a possibility. Do you think I can achieve this via some unofficial API route?

97

hello @Braintelligence,

you can first try to understand the call to the api via the inspect network view from your web browser. otherwise via Burp Suite Community Edition you can easily intercept and replay the traffic

98

Hi @nechry ,
thanks for your reply.
I assume with ‘my code’ refers to ‘nechry/elco-remocon-net-appdaemon’ at GitHub?

Currently I’m using curl with php.
I’ll install your app asap.

Hey @WolfG yes it is.
But you can also check out my previous integration for inspiration

in python

Alternatively, by sniffing the remocon web UI via the Inspect & Network tab or using Burp Suite to easily replay queries.

How do I intercept traffic for a setting that isn’t exposed by the app GUI, though? Or is it possible to fetch all API capabilities this way?

101

difficult to answer, I’m a little blind here as to what you have access to or not. The information must pass to intercept otherwise a documented and public API is required and it is an undocumented private API.

other than going to all the GUI menus to find this information I can’t say

102

The setting that I need is definitely nonexistent in the Remocon GUI. It only exists within the Elco wall console in the extra settings; it’s called “Hybrid Energy Manager”.

103

I remember an advanced menu in ui with some systems setting and measures. double check

Hi everyone .
I have an elco boiler and would like to view data on HA using appdaemon. I’m not very expert and I would like to understand better how to proceed.
I installed appdaemon.
I have enabled detection in hacs dell appdaemon.
I created two long-lived access tokens.
I tracked down the gateway_id of elco.

in /config/appdaemon/appdaemon.yaml

Need I say anything else?

Thank you

105

everything seems correctly configured,
Is the AppDaemon started?
In the AppDaemon UI logs view, do you get any error messages?
And even looking first, if you go to the Developer tools, states and do an entity filter on elco, do you get any entities? if yes, everything works as expected

106

Thanks for replying to me.
I don’t see any entities under elco development tools.
Appdeamon is started.
I see
elloWorld idle 0 0 {“module”: “hello”, “class”: “HelloWorld”}
Remocon idle 1 3 {“module”: “elco-remocon-net-appdaemon”, “class”: “Remocon”
}
main log

2023-10-29 21:48:10.026047 INFO AppDaemon: Client disconnection from Admin Client

107

ok, if you restart the AppDaemon, can you share the startup log (wait around 2min).
