Rheem Home Comfort WIFI Module

Hardware

Does anyone have any experience with the Rheem Home Comfort Wifi Module? it states that it is wink enabled and i read that there is an Wink Component for HA. i am looking for first hand experience to know what kind of information and control would be available via this add on for my water heater.

Thanks

If you are asking if it works with HA, then yes. It’s the EcoNet component.

The Rheem integration with Wink is flaky. I would recommend what @kidmock said and use the econet component and strip out the middle man.

You get temperature control and “mode” control, no current temperature reading though.

Thanks, can you get any of the alerts i.e. the water sensor alarm or malfuntion codes for elements etc…

I don’t personally own one of these so not sure, I dont recall that information being available from their API when I first added the econet component. A user with a water heater and their official app might be able to provide that info.

As @w1ll1am23 stated, the component is fairly limited. It pretty much just supports “set temp”, and set mode (such as vacation or away mode). However, it is hypothetically possible to do anything the EcoNet app can do if an API is exposed.

You can look at the code to get a sense of what you can do in HA here:
