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

107

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

hello @stefanos this error “UtilsLib.Diagnostics.ViolatedPreConditionException” was previously detected from other user with an heatpump Aerotop Split FS 07, can you share more info about you device?

Wall-mounted gas condensing boiler.

Hi there,
I am new to this community.
My heating system is a THISION S PLUS 13 and I have followed all steps by using the installation of HACS and AppDaemon based on (GitHub - nechry/elco-remocon-net-appdaemon: An AppDaemon to fetch data from the gas boiler system via the Elco Remocon-Net cloud service and push them to home-assistant entities.). No errors so far in AppDaemon logs and in supervisor logs but I do not see any sensor or similar data fetched from my remocon website. Any hints?

Cheers,
judaction

112

can you double check if the AppDaemon discovery and tracking is enabled for HACS.
hacs-configuration

113

It is enabled, first checkbox checked. Just to be clear, I did not create the manual cards yet as I was expecting that I can see the sensors and entities first.

114

Oki so I you can provide the log of the appdeamon

Ok, first no error durring AppDaemon startup. But it look like you didn’t configure or wll configured the remocon App.
Can you share your apps.yaml (without credentials)

Screenshot apps
Screenshot apps2742×684 117 KB

The apps.yaml will be located outside of cour config folder in addon_configs
The remocon app need to be include in this location, unfortunately the install from hacs will put in previous location where is no more loaded.

117

under /addon_configs/<guid>_appdaemon I have:

  • appdaemon.yaml
  • apps.yaml → see exact content below. The real credentials are in secrets.yaml and a thought I need to specify it like this.
remocon:
  module: elco-remocon-net-appdaemon
  class: Remocon
  plugin: HASS
  base_url: https://www.remocon-net.remotethermo.com
  username: !secret remocon_username
  password: !secret remocon_password
  gateway_id: !secret remocon_gateway_id
  bearer_token: !secret remocon_bearer_token
  # refresh_rate: 60 # optional
  #ha_url:  # optional, in case hassplugin ha_url undefined
118

Got it now!!! I had to copy the directory elco-remocon-net-appdaemon from

/config/appdaemon/apps to /addon_configs/<guid>_appdaemon/apps

Thanks @nechry !

119

Two cards are working. The third needs multiple-entity-row but it is not clear to me how to install it with HACS (HACS is installed on my home assistant).

120

great! I know this is not clear, before the update of the appDaemon you just have to install and config, now we also nead to move the downloaded files to the new addons config folder. I will try to update the readme to be more clear.

Hi @nechry ,
I get a read error for sensor.elco_domestic_hot_water_storage_mode. It seesm that my THISON S 13 does not have this attribute or what information we expect from this parameter?

122

can you share the error log
