I think the information you shared is great. I some how keep forgetting about that piece of documentation. I also have it in my manual as well about the recirculation, but I tend to forget about the different modes it offers. The issue that comes up with telling whether Rinnai is in Eco or Comfort mode on recirculation is that they don’t provide that in the data we can pull.
They haven’t decided to share everything from the water heater, but just a subset of information and not all of that has values as you can see from mine having a lot of null results. The issue that I am also seeing is that no matter what value is set for the recirculation time the recirculation_duration value never updates from the value 5 even when set from the official app. What this means is that no matter the time set for recirculation, even factoring in the great information you provided, recirculation will stop after 5 minutes. This was a new bug introduced when they blocked the old API call we used to be able to make.
I haven’t seen this, but I will definitely be doing my research now! Thanks.
I think once you get more data points this will reflect as mine seems to be giving that information.
I just went off what was listed on the manual for my model where the water flow rate is a raw value and you have to multiply it by 0.1gpm.
If your data is in LPM, then I may need to do some conversions on the backend to select your preferred measurement. I would be interested to know if your manual lists something different as I only have mine to reference.
