Heatpump (KEBA) select functioning mode via input selector

Configuration
,
1

Hello,

and happy to join the HA community with my first post :slight_smile: . I am trying to integrate my M-TEC heatpump (it uses KEBA KeEnergy software) to HA using the yaml config files. (infos found here: Keba KeEnergy Heizungssteuerung (M-TEC WP) in Smarthome)

So I succesfully integrated the Heatpump via modbus, but I am struggeling with two points:

  1. I created an input selector Heatpump Mode to select the functioning mode of my heatpump. I am then passing the selected mode to the heatpump using the automation and this works perfectly set_heatpump_mode.
    However, the second part get_heatpump_mode, that updates the input selector when the mode on the heatpump was changed manually, is resisting my beginner skills.
    I keep getting an error message: Invalid config for [automation]: must contain at least one of below, above.. Got OrderedDict. I searched for hours, tried changing the automations.yml without success …

  2. My heatpump, uses a user defined offset (Heatpump_offsetRoomTemp) that ranges from -2.5 to 2.5 that helps to fine tune the temperature. This offset is added to the Heatpump_normalSetTempTest or the Heatpump_reducedSetTemp – depending on the selected mode (Day/Night) – to achieve the final temperature Heatpump_SetpointTemperature.
    My issue is that i tried to integrated it as a HVAC as for the two other but it does not let me input a negative value? Any idea on how to achieve this?

Below my configuration:

input_select:
  heatpump_mode:
    name: Heatpump Mode
    options:
      - "Standby"
      - "Timer"
      - "Day"
      - "Night"
      - "Vacation"
      - "Party"

In case someone is searching, I did a beginner mistake in the automation by adding unnecessary quotes, I also cast the value of the sensor to an int.
Automation get_heatpump_mode should be written as this:

- id: '1670504791806'
  alias: get_heatpump_mode
  description: ''
  trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id:
    - sensor.heatpump_operatingmode
  condition: []
  action:
  - service: input_select.select_option
    target:
      entity_id: input_select.heatpump_mode
    data:
      option: "{% set mode = states('sensor.heatpump_operatingmode') | int(0) %}  {%
        if mode == 0 %}\n   Standby\n{% elif mode == 1 %}\n   Timer  \n{% elif mode
        == 2 %}\n   Day\n{% elif mode == 3 %}\n   Night\n{% elif mode == 4 %}\n   Vacation\n{%
        elif mode == 5 %}\n   Part\n{% endif %}\n"
  mode: single

I am still missing the second part and the negative offset although

I finally solved my issue. I tried to create the manual temperature offset using a climate entity, but this was not possible. Although, it is maybe possible to create a new climate entity in Python to handle this specific use case…

So the easiest solution was for me just to create a new input_number helper called Normal Temp. I then used it again in an automation and write the input state to the modbus register.

So here my M-TEC (KEBA) heatpump dashboard with on top the mode selector and below the manual offset:

I am closing my topic :boom: ! I have still the boiler to do, but should be pretty straight forward.

Hi, thanks for you code,
I have one issue, I can change the value of sensor.heatpump_operatingmode but the change is not send to M-TEC (KEBA) heatpump dashboard . Do you know have I can fix this

Oops, I see that I am missing the first lines of the code on the automation.
I am editing it right now, and you can then just copy and paste it again.

Let me know if it is still not working. BTW please note that there is a small delay between sending the command and the update (usually a few seconds).

Hi @carmanber
I want to thank you very much for the configuration here! I also got a M-TEC heatpump and I’m new to HA.
I’ve added the configuration and automation. Could you also share the dashboard you created?
Thanks, Jo
