I managed to do it. As I said I am a Noob. I was thrown by the instructions:
Register and login in the Viessmann Developer Portal. Use the same account as the one you registered your device with in ViCare.
In the menu navigate to API Keys.
Create a new OAuth client using the following data:
Item 2 is a bit misleading - you have to click on “My Dashboard” which then takes you to a page which shows a dialog box names “your clients”
Item 3 uses “OAuth” - this is not present on the web-page, but the “your clients box” is the correct place to enter the information. A screenshot would have helped here.
I entered the data PyViCare, vicare://oauth-callback/everest and disabled the reCAPTCHA using the switch provided and got a valid key.
As said I am a Noob but I am not stupid. I do recommend updating the documentation since according to the Zen of Python:
The Viessmann dev page was recently updated. That’s probably why the directions are wrong. As you have the latest, and clearly know your way around, would you mind opening a pull request on the docs with the correct instructions? The community will thank you
I had a Viessmann combi boiler commissioned yesterday. I set up the app, I configured the API, and I set up the HA integration. I have a lot of new sensors (37 new entities)… but no water_heater entity. I’m interested in sending set_temperature commands for DHW, but I don’t have an entity to send them to.
Any ideas why?
EDIT: Does this entry need to be added to configuration.yaml to enable the water heater entity?
Is there a mapping table available which translates the entity names exactly to german?
ViCare Water → Wasser Vorlauftemperatur?
ViCare Boiler Supply Temperature → ?
ViCare Solar Storage Temperature → Pufferspeicher Temperatur?
ViCare Supply Temperature →
ViCare Water → Warmwasser
ViCare Boiler Supply Temperature → Kesseltemperatur
ViCare Solar Storage Temperature → Warmwasser-Solar
ViCare Supply Temperature → Vorlauftemperatur
Hello everyone.
In November I installed a hybrid system with a VITODENS 200-W and a VITOCAL 200-S.
The Vitodens has a built-in wifi module and I configured it. The Viessmann integration worked as expected in Home Assistant and I saw 41 (!) sensors. Cool!
On the other hand, the Vitocal does not have the wifi, so I ordered a Vitoconnect OPTO2, which is arrived today.
After installing this module, I can browse both devices using the ViCare app on my phone (see the attachment below).
“Caldaia” means heater (VITODENS )
“Pompa di calore” means heatpump (VITOCAL)
The problem is that in Home Assistant no new sensors are added: I can’t see any new sensor related to the heatpump.
I tried to delete and re-add Viessmann ViCare integration, but without success.
Update.
I removed from the app the Vitodens, and now Home Assistant gets data from the Vitocal (25 sensors).
So il seems only the “first” deviced added in the app, is actually polled to create sensors.
Update 2.
I re-added the Vitodens and I press “reload” on the integration tile.
Hello!
I’m using 200-S heatpump and a Vitoconnect Opto2 module.
The component sets up fine, but my climate entity doesn’t allow any temperature change. (Gives error if I add it to a climate card and tries to change anything - COMMAND NOT FOUND)
I also don’t get any energy consumption info (not sure if i’m supposed to).
I can only control the hot water temperature.
Tried the custom component now. Same thing.
Using latest version of HA.
Hi guys,
i’ve just installed ver. 2023.5.x and i’ve this issue with vicare component:
Questo errore ha avuto origine da un'integrazione personalizzata.

I don’t know if it was the same issue, but my Viessmann integration stopped working. I removed it and upgraded HAOS to 10.1 and it came back. It also added a water_heater in addition to the climate entity.
Would be nice if this integration had an option to go direct to optolink controller than through the cloud. The vcontrold mqtt add-on is progressing, but isn’t anywhere near as good as this integration.
Mine stopped working suddenly as well. The log shows:
Error setting up entry ViCare for vicare
5:13:53 AM – (ERROR) components/vicare/__init__.py - message first occurred at 5:12:12 AM and shows up 2 times
Missing 'data' property when fetching installations
5:13:53 AM – (ERROR) components/vicare/__init__.py - message first occurred at 5:12:12 AM and shows up 2 times
I‘ve deleted the integration, restarted HA, removed the cached token (/config/.storage/vicare_token.save), created a new api key in the Viessmann developer portal an re-added the integration.
Since then it works again without problems for me.
