🔥 Pellet stove 'Duepi-evo'

Indeed, using the ESP-link bypasses any cloud services.

But it looks like the issue you have is the dynamic IP.
Then I can only recommend something like a DynDNS service.
In that way you will use a DNS name (f.e. my.address.dns)

Have a look at https://www.duckdns.org/ (which has an addon available for HomeAssistant)

But there are more like these:
https://www.clickip.de/
https://www.noip.com/remote-access
https://www.securepoint.de/en/products/utm-firewalls/securepoint-dyndns.html
Ofc These tools needs to be running continuously and local, because it needs to check your IP address continuously.

Thanks!
I will try.

aceindy · January 19, 2022, 1:08pm

Good luck, keep us posted !
(and something tells me you aren’t using HomeAssistant, but only DPRemote right )

Vladruslv · January 19, 2022, 1:34pm

Yes. I haven’t figured out the Home Assistant yet.
Thank you

Hi all, for those that have a petit from artel i can confirm it working. i have flashed a wemos D1 mini pro and it works without any need for a 5 volt to 3.3 volt board just as is.
1 thing tho, can i set it somehow to turn off the stove if it reaches set temperature.? now it powers down to eco but i want it to shut down. many thanks and great work

Thanks for the feedback @kooibosmania

And a solution to your problem would be to write an automation for service: climate.set_hvac_mode:

alias: Turn off at 23 degs
description: ''
mode: single
trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id: climate.pellet_stove
    attribute: current_temperature
    from: '22.9'
    to: '23'
condition: []
action:
  - service: climate.set_hvac_mode
    target:
      entity_id: climate.pellet_stove
    data:
      hvac_mode: 'off'
'

Now that I think of it,

trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id: climate.pellet_stove
    attribute: burner_status
    to: 'Eco Idle'

should also work

Thanks for the hard work! I’ve installed a Wemos D1 flashed with espeasy.

This device has a 5V input and integrated CH340 for easy flashing. The only tweak I needed was to add 5ms timeout delay in the serial device settings of espeasy to get robust data from my pellet stove ( Duroflame Rembrand).

Maybe this info is helpful for others

jimvogelzang · November 10, 2022, 8:32am

Hello, i hope this topic is not dead yet. i just bought 2 artel milano next stove. now i want to controll them via ha. just the basics so turning on and off and temp. i now saw your post of this intergration with the d1 mini. i have a few laying around. Maybe you could send me the arduino code that i need to upload. and can you tell me what pins you use

greetings from holland

aceindy · November 10, 2022, 10:12pm

GitHub - jeelabs/esp-link: esp8266 wifi-serial bridge, outbound TCP, and arduino/AVR/LPC/NXP programmer should work on d1 mini too…
And hi from Holland back

PS: Happen to know any address for cheap pellets?

4139GGN · November 21, 2022, 7:48pm

I already have the ESP01 mounted with esp-link on the stove.
The DPRemote app connects fine in local mode, but in HA, Duepi can’t find it. Although in the registry it does appear:

“2022-11-21 20:31:19.957 DEBUG (MainThread) [custom_components.duepi_evo.climate] Bubbler: Received burner: Flame On, Ambient temp: 21.0, Fan speed: 5”

In configuration.yaml:
"climate:

platform: duepi_evo
name: Pelele
host: 192.168.1.140
port: 23
scan_interval: 10
min_temp: 20
max_temp: 30

logger:
default: warn
log:
custom_components.duepi_evo: debug"

Someone gives me a hand?

aceindy · November 21, 2022, 8:13pm

It won’t show up under integrations nor devices, only under enitities:

Did you search yor entities for Pelele?

4139GGN · November 21, 2022, 10:43pm

after a couple of reboots and a few hours running, I’ve found it in Entity ID!
Thank you very much!

morning_call · January 23, 2023, 10:58am

Firstly, thanks for the work in implementing this.

Secondly I hope someone can help .

Have ESP-01S flashed with Esplink and connected to a Artel Subtile6 stove. Connected to local network and can log in to the Esplink no problems. Cannot reach device through dpremote or not showing as entity in HA.

Error message in logs is:-

Logger: homeassistant.components.climate
Source: custom_components/duepi_evo/climate.py:129
Integration: Climate (documentation, issues)
First occurred: 10:47:52 (1 occurrences)

    dataFromServer = sock.recv(10).decode()

When checking the debug log in Esplink the following message is shown:-

815740> /DPremote/Messages.txt not found. 404!
816354> HTTP GET /DPremote/Messages.txt: 200, 616ms, h=15384

If there are in pointers it would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

The GPIO setting I used on my esp01:

And here my yaml config:

climate:
  - platform: duepi_evo
    name: Pellet stove
    host: duepi-evo.aceindy.nl
    port: 23
    scan_interval: 60
    min_temp: 6
    max_temp: 30

The console page of the esp-link page should show something like this:

Make sure it uses 115200 baud, 8 bits, No parity, 1 stop bit.
You can also try to swap the TX and RX pins, maybe it solves it

Maybe of use, my esplink-logs:

As for the app, you should use the ‘old’ DPRemote app (the new one doesn’t seem to work properly, probably because MyDPRemote doesn’t handle the port correct)

Not sure if it is still available though (but I still have it installed)

I still have a wish to convert all of it to ESPHome, but I don’t have the time to do so (and we have plans on moving; in which case the pellet stove will be abandoned…sorry for that )

morning_call · January 23, 2023, 12:20pm

Thanks.

My yaml is good.

Have change GPIO settings to match.

Have swapped tx/rx.

I get no message in the esplink console.

I have downloaded the old dpremote and it does appear to connect without error but does not show state nor can I send commends from the app.

aceindy · January 23, 2023, 12:33pm

When to old app is connected, do you see data passing-by on the ESPLink console ?

morning_call · January 23, 2023, 12:40pm

console remains blank

aceindy · January 23, 2023, 1:18pm

When the ESPLink console remains empty using the DPRemote app, there is something wrong with the ESPlink module or software; it should show all communications between stove and DPRemote app.
(and since that is not working, the HA integrationg won’t work either).

So check the wiring etc. Also, are you using an ESP01 (as I mentioned in the 1st post)?
If you use something else, the GPIO pins could differ.

PS: Do you know if your stove should work with DPRemote at all ??

morning_call · January 23, 2023, 1:42pm

Stove should work with dpremote.

Using a ESP01S.

Will check all connections again.

aceindy · January 23, 2023, 3:46pm

it could even be a faulty esp01

Which is easy to test; just disconnect from the stove; connect TX to RX, and open a telnet to the esphome’s IP; It should relay any character typed on the keyboard
