Display thermal energy in ViCare integration

Open ant-thomas opened this issue 1 year ago • 14 comments

The problem

The ViCare app shows Thermal Energy produced for my Vitocal 150-A ASHP but the integration doesn't seem to show this data.

Energy used for DHW and Heating show as entities, but Thermal Energy produced doesn't.

I have separate CT Clamps on the circuits feeding the Outdoor Unit and Indoor Units so I can see a true energy consumption as the consumption stats provided by ViCare aren't accurate. This would enable me to calculate true COP values.

Is it possible to get this added?

@CFenner Are you able to take a look?

ant-thomas avatar Jul 24 '24 18:07 ant-thomas

I think that value is not yet added. Please provide a diagnostic info. Despite that I'm on vacation, so expect some delay.

Sorry, please enjoy your holiday 😊

@ant-thomas can you provide a diagnostics file from within home assistant?

CFenner avatar Jul 27 '24 09:07 CFenner

Is this what you're looking for? config_entry-vicare-e9b73d6d4291eacca11b9573e8cce944-1.json

The file is showing the API reply for your device. Can you point me to the endpoint that you would like to have as an entity?

CFenner avatar Jul 27 '24 10:07 CFenner

It doesn't seem to be in the API reply. Only energy stats look to be consumption. Nothing around Thermal energy produced. Does this mean it's not possible? Or would it require Viessmann to add it?

You probably need to have the extended api. You can try to sign in for the 30 day trial and get the diagnostics again. You can have a look at the api docs. The App does not have this constraints.

Looking like I can't subscribe to the extended api in the UK

Hi @CFenner,

I also missing the values for thermal and electric consumption from vicare in my installation.

You might have a look at my diagnostics file here? config_entry-vicare-01J9973QY6R19RFGYX6X4NZ7B0.json

Hopefully heating.power.consumption is the right data point. It in the basic package but not shown. image

The following data points are in the advanced package: heating.compressors.N.heat.production.heating heating.compressors.N.power.consumption.heating

Does Viessmann really want to have 19,99€ per month to get these two values?

Many thanks!

@mho21git unfortunately your devices do not provide those data points.

Unfortunately, they do... 💰
