Hi All
I’m using this integration with a ecoTEC plus heater with water tank and VR 940F Gateway.
I can read all the parameters.
I’m very likely asking a silly question but how may I update the “climate.zone_0.current_temperature” getting the data from a temp sensor?
I’ve tried to set the value from developer tools for testing purposes and I can see the temp updated, BUT after few seconds it gets back to “null”.
TIA for your help and many compliments for this great integration
Curren temperature is a read only sensor value, it can’t be updated. But you can use the climate controls to set a desired temperature! There’s also a service for that.
To answer the question about the MyVaillant App - you can download two csv files with daily statistics. Looks like it will be for all the time starting from installation date - 1,5 months for mine at the moment.

This is also part of the mypyllant library btw:
python3 -m myPyllant.report user password brand --country country --year 2023
# Wrote 2023 report to energy_data_2023_ArothermPlus_XYZ.csv
# Wrote 2023 report to energy_data_2023_HydraulicStation_XYZ.csv

Thank you for your quick reply
Hallo Phillipp,
erstmal danke für deine tolle Arbeit!
Ich bin der Meinung, die csv-Dateien aus der App haben ca. seit August einen Bug. Vorher standen in der Tabelle immer so 4-stellige Werte also z.B. 3885 Watt. Jetzt sind es bis zu 17-stellige Werte ohne Komma. Da kann man nicht so richtig was mit anfangen. (Vielleicht kann das mal jemand bestätigen). Bevor es deine tolle myVaillant-Integration gab, hatte ich eine Exceltabelle für die Auswertung der .csv-Dateien.
Wie sieht es denn mit den .csv-Werten aus deiner Bibliothek aus? Kommt man da ohne Skriptkenntnisse heran?
Gruß Tino
You can grab energy data with the library, for example:
python3 -m myPyllant.export [email protected] password vaillant --country country -d --start 2023-01-01 --end 2023-09-01 -r DAY > data.json
…which gives you JSON in the data.json file, for example:
...

...
You could then take the relevant portions from data and paste it into JSON To CSV Converter
There’s a new release v0.6.0 with a few new features and a lot more diagnostics data, for those of you that are into that sort of thing.
For Example on the “Home” sensor now has these states in my setup:
continuous_heating_start_setpoint: -26
alternative_point: -21
heating_circuit_bivalence_point: 0
dhw_bivalence_point: -7
automatic_cooling_on_off: false
adaptive_heating_curve: true
dhw_maximum_loading_time: 60
dhw_hysteresis: 3
dhw_flow_setpoint_offset: 25
continuous_heating_room_setpoint: 20
hybrid_control_strategy: BIVALENCE_POINT
max_flow_setpoint_hp_error: 25
dhw_maximum_temperature: 80
maximum_preheating_time: 0
paralell_tank_loading_allowed: false
outdoor_temperature: 8.019531
system_water_pressure: 1.6
outdoor_temperature_average24h: 9.707031
controller_type: VRC720
system_scheme: 8
backup_heater_type: CONDENSING
backup_heater_allowed_for: DHW_AND_HEATING
module_configuration_v_r71: 3
energy_provide_power_cut_behavior: DISABLE_HEATPUMP_AND_BACKUP_HEATER
You can find these in the developer tab under “States”.

Fantastic! Just to report back, the 0.60 is still working perfectly fine on my setup, so removing the Govee integration was all it took to fix myVaillant.

Thanks for a brilliant integration.
Great to see these new additional states. Especially hoping to keep track of system water pressure as had issue with pressure dipping below minimum several times since aroTherm installation, and would like to be able to monitor and pre-empt before system gets shut down!
However, after update, could not see these extended states as entities (no “Home” sensor , and going to Developer Tools → States reveals no relevant items). I also tried removing and re-adding the “Hub”. (And naturally restarting HA each time). Otherwise all basic data (heating sensors, error conditions etc) working as they were previously.
Is there anything particular I need to do to enable access these data with 0.6.0?
Thanks!

Hi and thanks for your work @pdd !
I will install a new boiler next week (EcoTEC Plus VUW 40CS) and I am unsure if I should buy the SensoNET (VR 921) to use it with this great integration that you’ve built!
Can you help me understand what controls and sensors I would get in HA for my boiler?
I currently have a custom setup with an old analog boiler that I control from HA via a tasmota relay. I am using zigbee TRVs which I group in zones. For each zone I have a temp&hum sensor. If at least one zone requires heating, I start the boiler (and circulation pumps) and only the water volume required for the requesting zones is heated and circulated as the rest of the zones have the circuit closed via the TRVs.
I am planning to add a pressure transducer with an ESP32 to read the system water pressure and read it in HA.
Bottom-line: I don’t know if it makes sense to pay 260 Euros for the VR921 if it doesn’t really add any value on top of the controls I have in place.
Much appreciated!
Hallo Philipp,
danke für deine super Erklärung, ich habe es lange probiert, leider ohne Erfolg. Ich bekomme auf meiner Synology leider kein Phyton 3.10 oder höher installiert. Geht nur bis 3.9.
Aber egal. Das ist nicht so schlimm.
Die v0.6.0 funktioniert bei mir auf jeden Fall sehr gut. Ich hatte ähnliche Probleme mit Vorversionen, so wie CommanderROR.
Der “Home” sensor hat auch die neuen Werte, super.
Gruß Tino.
I’ve had a hunt around and couldn’t see the entity the updaqte relates to either.
I’ve documented the additional attributes I get in my setup here: Entities - myPyllant Library & Home Assistant Component
For example in can search for continuous_heating_start_setpoint in Developer Tools > States > Filter attributes:
What kind of data is available and even on which entity is up to your setup. For example my home entity is simply called “My Home”, yours might be different. However controller_type should be pretty universal, so you should find something if you search for that in “Filter attributes”.

Ah it’s the gateway, brilliant, thanks.
Today I had the issue other have reported in the past, where myVaillant is stuck, both the app and the integration. Rebooting the VR921 hasn’t fixed it so far. Maybe Vaillant is having server issues?
Same here. Mines been on and off since Sunday (currently off). Looks like they’re doing a lot of work on the cloud/servers.

Same overhere. Both myVaillant and Migo Link does not work.
Is there a way to know the status of work at Vaillant’s servers?
Thanks for confirming
At least I know it’s not an issue on my end then.
I nearly posted in here, the other night. Yes I had a very slowly responding myVaillant app which threw timeout errors when I tried using the integration via HA. I power cycled the gateway a couple of times but the Vaillant app itself was running like a bag of spanners.
