Nefit Easy™

[jannl]

Exactly, that is exactly what is stated in the conditions of Bosch. (As that it is forbidden to reverse engineer [WINKING FACE])

[geezerrr]

Finally I managed to get the easy server running the way I want, struggled with the crortab which wasn't working as it should. Now using pm2, And can confirm it works even after reboot. Thanks everyone!
Now I was trying to use the boiler status to trigger a virtual switch using block
Unfortunately I'm not able to use the sValue,
Anyone having another way to use the sValue of the boiler status?

Hi, I really appreciatean updated post on how to install the Nefit Easy for Domoticz. The info is now so fragmenten and often outdated that its hard for novice user to make a start. Especially as the instruction in the initial post is not working anymore.

Also can someone explain me the pro's and con's between the 2 options: http server and php.

Many thanks.

After working for several months in a row without any problems, last two nights (20/7 04:35 and 21/7 02:35), the backend stopped working (timeouts). Also Nefit app stopped working. After reset (off/on) Nefit Easy Connect adapter everything works again. Looking at the time this might be maintenance on the sever side!!!!

edit: today (22/07) 00:35 it happend again, watch the time difference (2 hours) between every day.

I second this. As a relative newbie regarding linux I would very much like to see a comprehensive guide to make the Easy visible in domoticz. Can anyone guide us through? (I don't want to mess up my domoticz setup with wrong commands )

[knights]

Hmm... My Domoticz will stop working after some while if I enable the Nefit Easy Server. If I dont use this my Domoticz works just fine.

Anybody has some suggestions where to start with troubleshooting?
Already have the latest beta and updates/upgrades.

My RASPI is still functional when Domoticz is offline.

Dear all,

Today I have installed domoticz with easy-http server on my synology. I could not find a complete tutorial so i decided to document and share the steps that I did to get this working. I hope that you can use it.

Tutorial
Nefit easy on synology with DSM 6.0.2

Install node.js v4.2.6-0158 using package center from publisher Synology.inc

Install nefit easy http server on synology nas using ssh
npm i nefit-easy-http-server -g

Run the nefit easy http server as test
easy-server --serial=serialnumber --access-key=enteryourkey --password=enteryourpassword

Check if you can reach the http server using the following command:
curl http://127.0.0.1:3000/bridge/ecus/rrc/uiStatus

Go to domoticz which is running on my synology server
Add new hardware
Nefit easy http server over lan interface

name: nefit-easy
Remote address: 127.0.0.1
poort: 3000


Go to Devices and check if there are nefit devices available and add the devices to the dashboard!

if there are no devices available check the logging in domoticz and verify with curl if the easy http server is running.


Create Startup script called easy-server.sh and place it in the directory /usr/local/etc/rc.d/
Reboot the nas and check that the process is running.
ps -aux | grep easy-http

I edit the scriptname directory because of the change in DSM 6.0.2

Maybe it's a nice idea to create a wiki page about this ?

I see there is already a wiki:

http://www.domoticz.com/wiki/NefitEasy

But maybe add a section for the Synology ?

[jurgen]

That would be a great idea!

Great work on documenting it for DSM6 on the Synology. I'm still running DSM5, but maybe....someday,...

Are you going to add a wiki-page ?

[preetyjess01]

Hello,
Amazing and very informative. I try this in my Raspberry Pi robot kits project. This is very helpful for me. Thanks.

[Kochmeister]

Hi,

I could not find this using the search, but is it possible to switch on and off warm water as well?

That would be great!

installed node.js v4.2.6-0158

I am trying to follow the steps from the tutoral, but got lost..

Yes! Today our new Nefit Trendline has been installed, with Easy thermostat.
For installation of the easy server onto RasPi the Wiki is not 100% right, but with the help of the above posts (thank you all!) and good old friend Mr. Google, I just succeeded to get it all running in Domoticz.

I really like my new home automation hobby!

So please help me with where i go wrong

Hi cvdb,

Before installing the nefit easy server using nmp, i think that you need to use the command "sudo -i" this will give you root permission.
after that try the commands again.

Greetz!

[cvdb]

Thanks Jurgen, will try that soon.

Hi Jurgen,

the sudo -i did it, i have it running, and can see the new devices in domoticz many thanks.

I have a second question about:

Create Startup script called easy-server.sh and place it in the directory /usr/local/etc/rc.d/
Reboot the nas and check that the process is running.
ps -aux | grep easy-http

I placed an easy-server.sh file (with my serial #, access key and passwd) in the /usr/local/etc/rc.d directory, and rebooted the nas, but the process is not running.. any idea ?

Kind regards
CvdB

I did a chmod 755 of the easy-server.sh file, rebooted the nas, and now its running

Many thanks to you all

Hi,

Trying to find an answer to a simple question. Went through the wiki/forum but couldn't find a clear answer.

If I connect a Nefit Easy to Domoticz what functionality do I get?

Can anyone give me some insights?

Cheers,
Lex
