Me again . . . this is exactly my config, but still it won’t run.
What I noticed while upgrading pycomfoconnect to the newer version 20.1.1 is that it installs in the different folder than HA is trying to run it from.
All the HA errors are referring to: /usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/
while installation actually lands into: /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/
I do not know if it matters or not. Where from HA knows where pycomfoconnect is installed - is this in any of the config files?
I think I am going to give up on that - I am not smart enough to make it run.
Press the Factory reset button (4) with a paperclip for a few seconds until the Power LED (5) starts flashing. It’s apparently a tiny button so make sure you point the paperclip straight in the hole and wait for the flashing leds to make sure the factory reset has happened.
I’m using the HassOS 4.10 with HA 0.111.4 on a Raspberry Pi 4 with 4 Gb.
Hope you get it working this way because it is a very nice integration. Thanks @michaelarnauts
I managed to integrate my Zehnder Comfort Control and have access to all the sensor managed here.
However, as a newbie I am wondering how I can control/steer the fan speed, or more precisely the level (1, 2, 3) of the fan.
Unfortunately, I have no clue how to add these commands to home-assistant…
Thanks for the hint. It finally worked. Looks like PIN was changed and when I did a factory reset HA was able to connect to the Comfoconnect LAN.
I saw some extra sensors were added to the integration recently (like Comfofond ground heat exchanger, etc). Where do I find the list of those, so I can add them to HA?
Thanks for help and really nicely working integration!
HI, sorry to bump this, but having searched the community and Github repo, I really cant find the setup instructions for this CC in HA. Could anyone here please point me to that?
reason I ask is a Zehnder unit will be installed the coming months, and Id like to prepare
Am I right in supposing we can control the unit without external internet connection? Ive disgarded several other brands because they need their own Cloud server for connection, which is a no-go for me.
You are right. It works locally, but it can also work remote (through their servers). You’ll need to buy an Comfoconnect LAN C also as a bridge between the CAN bus and your network.
thanks for confirming!
if it works locally, and I can reach my HA instance remotely, shouldn’t that suffice? I mean, my local HA instance can control the locally connected Zehnder unit in that case?
I understand for some Zehnder app I would need their server.
btw do they also have some hard ware device (compare a physical thermostat) to be able to push a button? so when all network is down, I can still control the unit. (asking here since the local supplier is not really into IOT…)
Only thing left to know now is how to install the custom integration… could you point me to the docs for that? this is a bit poor on instructions https://github.com/michaelarnauts/comfoconnect, especially for a Home Assistant OS user…
I have a Q450 + ComfoFond too. So I have the same issue with “Outdoor Air” being the Air supplied to the Q450.
@ chrisuki You assume that the “Current RMOT” ist the correct Outdor Air temperature. This is not correct. The RMOT is “Running Mean Outdoor Temperature”. Its a calculated value based on the history of the real outside air temperatured. Its used by the Q450 to determine the heating or cooling period and trigger the Bypass.
So this is not what we are looking for. Did you manage to identify the real outdoor air temperature?
Concerning RMOT, yes my post in now OLD, and in the meantime, I got the same information about the role of the RMOT temperature.
Also not more information on my side about the outside air temperature…
