Now it sems to work. I have one question though:
What is the difference between the parameters [Elco Domestic Hot Water Storage Mode] and [Elco Domestic Hot Water Enabled] ?

124

hello, the Enable is like a main state, and the mode is only to inform that is currently running. the hot water can be enabled but not running.

Hello Lars, unfortunately it will be difficult to answer without the error message. As the app starts it all seems that the daemonā€™s config is correct, in any case present in the right place. Maybe share the config just to see if something is missing.

Hi @nechry , any plans to enhance the functionality to write a parameter to the Elco Heating system like switch on/off of water heating with gas? Like writing the sensor: binary_sensor.elco_domestic_hot_water_storage_mode

128

Thereā€™s a way to access (some) of the elco products using eBus.

It requires a bit of luck but you have read/write access to the internals ā€¦

Hi @wrongisthenwright ,
Thanks a lot for your input. I was wondering if it is not possible to write parameters over my existing REMOCON.NET web access without installing additional hardware tc.?

Hi Judaction,
I havenā€™t really a clue :smiley: I have an Ariston branded HP with added the phisical interface to the bus and use this to access the system in read/write mode.

I know of another integration that uses Ariston/Elco Cloud API to integrate the appliance in HA, this had write capabilities you can maybe review it and adapt it for the remocon siteā€¦
