Hi, this seems like just the thing I have been waiting for. So nice that you are doing this and sharing.
I am not the best in coding, but I am very interested in this intergrations. I have the wifi-module (B6R-WWN) and if I can be at any service in testing this. Then I am up for it.
@dkvistgaard@wilfredktlr thank you for the interest. Unfortunately I found some critical bugs that I must sort out first - hopefully ready by the end of Sunday. I will get back to you
No problem. My first idea was to take the code from the Homey implementation and create a Home Assistant integration myself. To accomplish this I did the following to test if sending a raw TCP-packets to WiFi-module works.
Start a packet capture on my firewall (which sits in between my phone and WiFi-module)
Use the Android app from Bellfires on my phone to turn on/off the light of the fireplace
PS. I found this topic some time ago but recently I saw your post about the integration. Do you have a repo you can maybe share with me so I can take a look at your code? I am not a Python but a C# programmer (by occupation). So reading and understanding the code won’t be a problem.
Anyone got the fan speed working with bellfire mertik maxitrol? i already have fireplace on/off, flame higher and lower, light on/off and light higher and lower only missing fan speed. im using broadlink rm4 pro.

I’ve been working on my fork of @djerik his code and fixed some stuff (including your error) and added functionality to turn the light on/off (exluding brightness), set the flame height and, turn the aux on/off, set eco and manual mode et cetare. Everything still has some bugs but I’ll try to keep working on it this week and push my changes when they are working well enough.
I had the same problem as @lwsrbrts. My WiFi-module (B6R-W2BE-0) returns a different start of the string (instead of 303030300003) so the method __processStatus() is never executed. After I changed it to my version the error went away. Maybe it has something to do the the model/serial number or it is generated when you register the module. We’ll have to do some more investigation. For now I’ll hard code it and work on creating a working integration.
@djerik how do you want me to push my changes to your repository? Can I just create my commits in my main branch and create a single pull request to merge it into your repository? Let me know your preffered workflow. I’m somewhat new to using Github. At work (I’m a .NET-developer) we use Gitlab and Git Flow to create feature branch for every single issue and then merge those into the different branches used for testing and deployment.
