I started working on a modbus interface a while ago with an esp32 when the normal integration broke for me.
I’ve got it working but haven’t built out the home assist integration yet.
If anyone wants to use it i’ve documented it here.
Hi @MrH592, stumbled on this thread and your GitHub repo and wanted to clarify something about your project.
I have a Braemer evap cooler (LCQi450) installed with a MagiQtouch controller - No wifi kit, just a direct connection to the unit. The controller is like the one in this YouTube.
Am I correct in thinking that your ‘project’ described at the GitHub repo, is something that can be installed in between the MagiQtouch controller and the unit in the roof and it will give me a simple browser API method of controlling the evaporative cooler? Without the need of any of their WiFi modules or phone apps.
Possibly, the official wifi iot module sits inbetween the controller and control board in the same way, my project is a swap out of that and has only been tested after having setup the controller with the official iot module.
I’d likely need to implement a discovery process that could respond to the controller when it does a scan for new devices, but the controller still needs to have the software support to work with the official IOT module. What software R Version do you have printed on the back of your controller?
I think the earlier 2xx versions dont work with the IOT module.
EDIT:@MrH592, found this thread on Whirpool, where I think you were chatting about version. Seems like my controller is the same as that one talked about there.
Bit of a late reply, I missed the email notification.
Looks like you’re using the same version.
I’ve tested removing the wifi module from the system configuration and then re-adding it and it does work.
I only have my single system as a test sample but doesn’t appear to be any additional codes required for the discovery process.
So you should be able to drop it into your system without needing the original module.
I’ve updated my project readme with the steps to setup the module.
Hey @MrH592, was just looking at the project and the code,… to come up with a wiring diagram, which connector goes to the wall control panel? By that I mean serial 1 (IO16/17) or 2 (IO26/27) ?
Correct, the system will supply 5v power on it’s side so it’s not needed, I’m guessing it could be used to power the control panel and ESP but it’s probablly already a stretch with the cable length to the panel. The original unit just has a 5v power supply covering it and the control panel so I’ve just stuck with that.
Question for you,… I only have the 1 cable between the wall control panel and the system board up in the roof. That cable would be supplying power to the wall unit at the moment.
Is it the thinking that it wouldn’t be able to cater for the additional load the ESP and 2 RS485 boards would draw?
It may well work, ESP doesn’t use much power but in my case the cable that only needs to run 1m from the module to the control panel is the full size 20m as it’s the one from the original module. At that distance i’d expect the 5v probablly drops abit. If you have a shorter cable distance it’s probablly not an issue and you could draw from the 5v supply, but the system won’t have been designed for that extra load so is a minor risk.
I think they just left the full length looped up in the ceiling here as well, so I’d be in the same situation. If I were to consider it, then I guess we keep the power connections from that control board RF45 socket and loop it through to all of the other devices including the wall mounted control panel RF45 jack.
To clarify, i have 2x full length cables so about 40m. Theres the original cable from the system to the panel, but the official wifi module comes with another one, so while there’s only about 1m from the module to the panel, i’ve got 2x 20m cables. If you’ve just got the 1 and are using a short cable from the esp to the controller it will have a lower resistance.
Cool, I might give it a go without a 5v plug-pack then.
I’d have about 1½m from wall plate to where I plan on putting this new ‘control box’ and then the full cable run up to the Evap unit.
So just to confirm then, what I said earlier with looping through the power from the Evap unit control board’s RJ45 socket is how to have it connected it up?
