NIBE Uplink API component (non S-series)

Hej,

Jag vill minnas att jag återställde autentiseringsuppgifterna på integrationssidan längst upp till höger.

Jag tror inte att jag fick det att fungera på en gång utan det gick plötsligt efter en omstart och/eller uppdatering.

Isn’t it better to just convert to myuplink instred and use that integration? The conversion process from uplink to myuplink is in full progress.

Seems like NIBE has started to push over the “old” devices from Uplink to myUplink. Given the fact that more users will probably have to upgrade in the future, I wonder if someone who’s made the upgrade can tell us pros and cons, mainly from a Home Assistant user’s point of view.

What’s better (instant readings instead of the 5 min intervals of Uplink)? What’s worse? Do you miss something (For example, I saw reports about energy meters missing in the myUplink integration.) Hope to hear about your experience!

Many members in the Nibe Facebook group have done it, most of them are positive.

From a HA perspective it works the same for me but I was hoping for instant readings but the readings still lag quite a lot behind. Maybe I misunderstood it?

I also miss the sensor for when my F730 is using the extra electrical boost (Swedish: elpatron) meaning that it pulls up to 6.5 kW when weather is really cold. I guess that sensor is no longer available?

Other that the above it was a smooth process and everything works really well.

Hmm… that’s quite disappointing as I saw the “instant” readings as the main reason to upgrade.

Regarding extra boost: do you mean that none of these senors are available? :confused:

Thanks. I understand the benefits for users who mainly use the NIBE app, as it looks really more modern than the Uplink counterpart. But can you tell, reading that group, if HA users are as positive?

According to the once using it they say that it’s the same or better (at least the app) there are a custom addon already for myuplink too so o guess I will update to soon. GitHub - jaroschek/home-assistant-myuplink: Custom Home Assistant integration for devices and sensors in myUplink account.
I use a nibepi so for me the addon is just fun to have. Nibepi or @elupus official Nibe integration give more controll over the system compared to the API addons.

Yes, “Eltillsats” is the one I struggled to find the English word for :laughing: That one is missing.

Regarding the updates, this is how it looks for my hot water at the moment, last update 87 min ago.

Might depend on the model but on my F750 I do get “Time Factor add heat” and “Int elec add heat”. But it is difficult to know for sure since the brand new integration (core) is missing a lot of unit of measurements.

Thanks for pointing this out, I totally missed it. This is how it looks. Only thing missing is the amount of kW that is being used at the moment.

Yeah I spoke to soon, I just saw state 6 when it was active so at first I assumed that was the power used, but it seems that it has state 4 when not in use and state 6 when in use, regardless of power.

Hi, I am just getting started with HomeAssistant and the Nibe integration, for my F1255 it is collecting data pretty well.

Thanks to this thread, I have managed to get the cumulative power usage from the following sensors:
sensor.nibe_XXXXXX_44300 : heating, incl. addition
sensor.nibe_XXXXXX_44298 : hw, incl. addition
And these are pretty useful, although readings come at rather irregular intervals, sometimes a few minutes between, sometimes a few hours.

Right now I would most like to get a better understanding of how much the unit is contributing to my household energy consumption, so I’d like to get an estimated hour-by-hour consumption from these points (ie kw/h between 00:00 and 01:00 etc etc). A similar day-by-day measurement would also be nice.

I tried setting up a derivative helper, but my resulting numbers and units are unbelievable (eg 35kWh/h) so I don’t think this is the correct approach, besides which, it doesnt help me put measurements into neat periods. I’m also a bit unsure how to deal with the unpredictable datarates, I suppose I need to interpolate between the cumulative readings somehow. I guess I’m not the first person to want this kind of measurement, so please someone give me a clue :slight_smile:

I have a Nibe F370 and I have installed the latest firmware and migrated to nibe uplink. Now I try to make this integration to work —> GitHub - jaroschek/home-assistant-myuplink: Custom Home Assistant integration for devices and sensors in myUplink account.

I get to to end where I should link to my home assistant and the a box come with a text myuplink. Then nothing happen…if I search the integration myuplink again it loop back and end with the myuplink box…what is wrong?

Use the official one instead. myUplink - Home Assistant

This is not a thread for the official Nibe integration, this is for the custom uplink integration.

My F1255 doesn’t yet support the new myUplink API, according to Nibe - that’s why I’m using the HACS one by elupus. Unless I’ve misunderstood something?

No that’s my bad, I assume wrongly that you used the Nibe integration that elupus also made (that is default in HA), that uses the Nibe gw.

And just to clearify, the sensors you name is not consumed energy, its produced energy. That’s why they are under värmemängsmätare in unplink.

So if you want the consumption you need to install a separate power meter.

Ah, thanks for that clarification, that saves me time, and explains why the power consumption appeared to be so high!
A smart heater with 64 entities, and not one to inform of power consumption seems strange though - I wonder if there’s any hope this is just a limitation of the API and improves in myUplink. I’m reluctant to buy more hardware when I’m just starting out with homeassistant.
