Integration for Ferolli Omnia 3.2 HeatPump (OMNIA Smart)

1

Hi There,

Today my new Ferroli (air/water) heat pump was installed.
The unit comes with a integrated Wi-Fi module and an APP (omnia / Idola Smart
I could not find any options to add this as an HVAC integration in Home Assistant as I was used to with my old Nefit Easy Thermostat.

Anyone succeeded to integrate this device into Home Assistant?

hi,
I agree with Timetupel’s request.

Has anyone managed to integrate the Ferroli PDC into HA?

Any answer is welcome

Thanks

Hello, you managed to do something

thanks

Hi guys, any news about this matter?
I’m going to do the same integration, so if someone has already reached the goal…

Hi, everyone

I also have an OMNIA 3.2 which is being controlled by the OMNIA Smart app, has anyone been lucky to connect with Home Assistant? Or does anyone have any documentation about the API that is used by the OMNIA Smart app? I could help in developing the integration, but I wouldn’t know where to start from…

Hello. In some months, I will have the same pump and will start learning about it. Did you already develop something regarding it? I may help in some way for now, and more later :slight_smile:

I was incidentally discussing this matter with chatgpt today. It said:
Certainly! Here’s the English translation of the explanation:

The Ferroli Omnia M 3.2 heat pump comes with an integrated Wi-Fi module and can be controlled via the OMNIA Smart or Idola Smart app.
However, there is currently no official API documentation available for direct integration with external systems like Home Assistant.
Users on the Home Assistant forum have tried to integrate the heat pump, but no successful implementation has been reported yet. (Home Assistant Community)

Alternative approaches:

  1. Use Smart Grid inputs:
    The Omnia M 3.2 features digital Smart Grid inputs.
    These can be used to control the heat pump based on external signals—such as solar power availability or low electricity prices.
    By linking these inputs to an Energy Management System (EMS) or home automation platform, you can make the heat pump respond intelligently to energy supply and pricing.
  2. Contact Ferroli directly:
    For more specific information on integration capabilities or to request technical documentation, it’s best to contact Ferroli or an authorized installer.
    They can provide the latest information and support for integration questions.

Conclusion:

While there’s no official API available for the Ferroli Omnia M 3.2 at this time, the Smart Grid inputs offer a valuable alternative for connecting the unit to smart home or energy management systems.
By leveraging these inputs, you can optimize the heat pump’s performance based on real-time energy conditions and pricing.

If you’d like help setting up this type of integration or want advice on specific hardware/software options, I’d be happy to assist further.

I don’ t know how the UK branch of Ferroli is, but I would not expect much of their technical assistance. The main office in Italy never answered my questions. The software looks like iti is written by the little nephew of the warehouse manager. Best bet is search an installer with lot of experience who found out by trial and error if you want to get any deeper into it.

Hello, there is a solution now: GitHub - wowtor/omnia

Hello! Have you found any solution to integrate Omnia 3.2 to HomeAssitant?
Many thanks!

If you have this remote controller you can integrate it by modbus.

12

Hello. Can you tell me which integration do you use with the Ferroli Remote? Thanks

13

Modbus integration… no custom ones.

I have bought an Waveshare RS485 to Ethernet gateway. Can you share a code for Home Assistant integration? Many thanks!

I don’t use a gateway, so I cannot share the code for the hub, but you can easily configure it by following the modbus documentation.
After the hub is configured, here an example for a sensor which read the total power consumed by the pump:

- name: "PdC Consumo ElettricitĂ  Totale"
    unique_id: "pdc_electr_consumption"
    slave: 1
    address: 143
    data_type: int32
    scan_interval: 500
    device_class: energy
    input_type: holding
    precision: 1
    state_class: total_increasing
    unit_of_measurement: kWh

That is just an example, but the controller manual has the full list of the modbus addresses so you can manage the registers apply to your home setup.
In example, I have an hybrid system (pump + boiler + puffer), and I don’t use the remote controller as temperature sensor, so I had to configure the system in a specific way.
