If it helps, you can see what MQTT AD I am sending for Ecodan climate devices at https://github.com/mjray/melcloud-mqtt.py

Frankly, I think the best you can do for your system is to use decent temp sensors, that read data in an fixed interval. I moved to control my heating with DHT11 sensors in conjunction with ESP8266 boards that report data every 300 seconds. After that, the range around the setpoint has reduced to ...

Does anyone else find SVT is too aggressive when it switches from economy to normal? As in, it always seems to select 100% heating for the first decision, rather than try a lower % and test how that works, even for a few tenths of a degree undershoot. I've a system with fairly high inertia so picked ...

I'm fairly new here but I've not noticed any way. I use emoncms for more detailed energy analysis and I think that can cope with different intervals for different data feeds.

@mjray. I think that's a whole other application, rather like manipulating electricity use in line with solar generation and grid prices. Yes, that's what I'm doing. ;) The heater is an air-source heat pump, so as well as local production and grid prices, there is also the challenge that the energy ...

@alfpresa, thanks for your appreciation. I am afraid your suggestion of proportional vs. binary (on/off) heating control will be difficult to implement: it would require a totally different logic than what the plugin is based on. The more I mull this over, the more it intrigues me. What would be ...

Would it be possible to adapt this to cope with heating cost varying over time? I could input reasonable estimates for the next 24 hours. Any tips, pointers or suggestions? Otherwise, I can manipulate the setpoint but that seems less good than using it to influence the flow temperature directly. The ...

Just to finish this off: I've published the melcloud-mqtt bridge at https://github.com/mjray/melcloud-mqtt.py and my Domoticz event script (triggering on Device changes) is this import DomoticzEvents as DE if ((DE.Devices["Pause Heating Decisions"].n_value == 0) and ((DE.changed_device.name ...

Is there any down side to letting domoticz also get the mqtt messages that Home Assistant gets and letting domoticz create duplicate controls from them? If either HA or Dz send a command over mqtt, the device will send a status update in response, changing (for example), the switch display on both ...

Someone use TAPO P110 with this plugins ? Compatible ? I have not used it but I've read the code for other reasons. It looks to me like it will be compatible with a P110 but only as a switch. It would need someone to extend the plugin to report the energy sensor data returned by the additional ...

I was looking for the math blocks to do some simple maths with temperatures too, so I found this discussion. It looks from the end of https://github.com/domoticz/domoticz/issues/3724 that this is stuck because Domoticz needs code added to support the maths blocks. I think it might be to translate ...

I think the Autodiscovery protocol is not followed correctly by melcloud. All those attributes should be linked to a device in the config topic. Aren't all those attributes are linked to the climate device in the config topic? It looks correct to me according to https://www.home-assistant.io ...

python-xmldict is the wrong package. Demoticz uses python3, so apt install python3-xmltodict

What kind of attributes are being published in melcloud/values/status that you want to see but not shown in the domoticz device log (button log)? See wiki https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Managing_Devices#Show_Device_Log Here's a sample of melcloud/values/status. It would be nice to see most of them ...

If they are being recorded, how could I see the device attributes in Domoticz? Edit to add: https://github.com/domoticz/domoticz/blob/development/hardware/MQTTAutoDiscover.cpp seems to do something with it, but possibly only if there's also a json_attributes_template so I've added a null one ...

I will try to explain further. You may not have used MQTT but I've not used Domoticz before so I may be using terms incorrectly or meanings from another system, so please excuse/question any confusion. The MQTT autodiscovery is described in https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/MQTT#Add_hardware_.22MQTT ...

Hi I've connected Domoticz to MQTT Autodiscovery OK and it detects my device config and adds it, but where do the device attributes configured by the json_attributes_topic go? How can I access these from scripts or add them to the dashboard? Should I modify the device MQTT processing to configure ...
