Nefit Easy™

[Dutchsea]

Thanks for all the help/answers. Last night I got it and understood XMPP needs to be added as additonal hardware type while initially I thought I had to enable software.
Temp and pressure are now reported to Domoticz though I have some doubts as concerning the temp value as the log shows variation form 21 to 18 degrees while my regular room temp sensor (BMP180) changed from 21 to 16,

Setpoint and indicator not yet working.

I would remove the old flow, just to be sure

Can you tell me how to remove flows?

You didn't show an error message or something. But I'm guessing that you didn't jump to the bin directory in the nefit-easy-client directory

Not sure about this...

I got the nefit-easy-client in /home/pi and the scrpits in /opt/nefit. Maybe this is a reason.

Anyway, ill try upgrading node-red later this evening and share new results

[SweetPants]

When using:

/opt/nefit/nefit-status

Code: Select all

export NEFIT_SERIAL_NUMBER='XXXXX'
export NEFIT_ACCESS_KEY='XXXXXX'
export NEFIT_PASSWORD='XXXX'
easy status

make the script executable (chmod +x) and execute it i get:

[SyntaxError: Unexpected token �]

Running 'easy status' on the command line shows the correct results. Anybody else with the same issue?

[dorenberg]

Maybe it is related but I created the scripts using the wrong editor. Mine is now fully functional. I re-created the scripts in winscp and now it works.

Thanks everybody for the help!

Succeeded with the node-red update using:

Code: Select all

sudo npm cache clean
sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm node-red

Node-red gives no longer the rbe error of unknown node.

However, I am getting XMPP error when executing the scripts nefit-pressure. Copy/paste the script in putty gives good results.

Tried this upgrade methode but got 1000 or so errors.... Domoticz is still running but i think i have messed up this system. I am not sure how to proceed except full reinstall

Any other ways on how to upgrade node-red when using a Raspian Wheezy image with node upgraded to v5.3.0.

[dorenberg]

Got some errors too, but upgrade was succesful in the end. Everything seems to work over here. Including my domoticz, plugwise, nefit, and all other stuff.

Script works great. But has a real impact on the cpu usage. 10% when running instead if 1% or so

Nice! I tried the latest code again after my "upgrade" but I still have the " rbe" error in node-red

About the same for me, 14%. Maybe increase the interval for both status-code and update a bit. Maybe also better for the Nefit/Bosch servers at the other end, I can imagine that if everyone starts doing this smoke will appear out of their servers

In the hardware settings check the wiki for more information

I have found it thanx

I have been looking myself but did bot find it in the Wiki or set-up page. Can you give me more hints?

I have added a MQTT client under menu Settings>Hardware and added the following:
Index
20 Mqtt Ja MQTT Client Gateway with LAN interface 192.168.178.29 1883 Niet actief

I see some more CPU use as well. Of around 5-7%. One other thing happened last night, and that was that my RFXCOM, youless and S0PCM stopped working. Needed to reboot the system to get everything back to work. Don't know if it is related or not, but have never experienced this before.

I will see how it will work out today!

[jannl]

SInce I use the RFCOM (almost 1,5 year now), it lost the connection with the Pi about 2 or 3 times. Way before using this script, so as far as I am concerned not related, the scripts runs about 2 days now.

Thinking about setting the update to 5 minutes, temp. etc do not change that quickly

[ThinkPad]

It seems that the Thermosmart and Anna thermostat implementation in Domoticz use a polling interval of 30 seconds:

Thermosmart.cpp
AnnaThermostat.cpp

So i wouldn't update any faster than that. And like you said, 5 minutes is fast enough for some values (like inside temperature, outside temperature). Only stuff like setpoint you want to see faster (every minute or so), so that you know that the change is accepted when you have issued a new setpoint.

All,

As mentioned before using the scripts is not the way to go.
Right now I'am working on a (native) Node-RED node for Nefit Easy.

As you can see I'am able to communicate to the Easy directly (so without scripts). But the node is not finished yet.

[jannl]

I think you are still communicating with the Nefit/Bosch servers and not directly with the Easy.

The app on my phone takes about the same amount of time to finish.

[pepijn]

I think you are still communicating with the Nefit/Bosch servers and not directly with the Easy.

Yes, the Bosch servers are intermediate, so they don't store data.

[jannl]

I agree, but I think those servers communicate with the Easy and get the data.

This created software communicates throught those servers and not directly to the Easy.

Yes this is how it works. The Bosch servers act as a kind of proxy server. I don't understand your point, could you be more specific?

[jannl]

In one of your earlier posts you state, 'scripts is not the way to go' and 'you connect directly to the easy'.

Your node-red solution is also still a script. You 'just' have a very nice graphical design tool.
