Nefit Easy connection on Windows 10

[xyntec]

Hi, after another crash on my pi, I decided to switch to a small windows pc and run my domoticz installation from there. So far everything worked a lot quicker and way more user friendly then all the sudo this sudo that. The only thing that I still would like to get working is the connection to my nefit easy. But so far I have only been able to find the setup on a PI, anyone knows (or can direct me to an existing post?) if this is possible and how to do this? I added the hardware in domoticz, but I just don't know now how to run the server and where to put the file with the login data in windows (which is only explained for PI as far as I found.
Thanks

Hi,

If you don't want or if you are not able to use the Nefit Easy directly to Domoticz, you can use it also via Node Red and MQTT.

See: https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red ... efit-easy2

Thanks! It works now
uh, I thought it worked at least...all the data showed up in domoticz, but when I tried to change the mode or set the temperature, nothing happened.
After that the data in domoticz also didn't update anymore, I actually saw the network get lost for a few seconds on the Easy.
In the log I see error setting user mode, then error setting setpoint, and after that continuous error getting http data, and also 1 time error CheckAuthToken - session ID not found.
Any ideas?

HI,

@xyntec

Unfortunately I do not own a Nefit Easy and I have never used this solution before.
I knew about the existence, as I own a Nefit boiler and has bee looking for it.

But I can try to take a look.

Can you publish your flow (without the private data)

[xyntec]

I have no flow, I just only see the data. It worked when I started the server and connected to it, when I tried to change the mode and setpoint it lost connection and never came back. That is in domoticz, because when I ask for status in windows it just shows fine and also updates.

inside domoticz I used to have a flow that switched off heating when my alarm went in away mode, but that flow is not active yet. I just want to be able to see my temperature, and change the mode and preset temperature.

Hi,

I don't think, you should set a data time-out. Just disable.
Not necessary, before it works perfect.

I suggest you look at this forum thread:
https://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopi ... nefit+easy

I do not own a Nefit Easy, nor use this "hardware" or even Windows.

I initially didn't have a timeout set, but I just tried to see if this helped. But I will browse the mentioned post some more.
I just don't understand that it worked (as far as reading data) until I tried to write something and thereafter nothing seems to work anymore.
It seems to be in domoticz since directly checking state inside windows works fine.

I think the problem is that it doesn't know the password when setting, normally in pi I use the export commands, and after that all commands work without having to enter the password again. But I have no idea how to do this in node JS. All commands directly from within windows work just fine.
