Buderus WLW196-i heat-pump

I am using a Buderus WLW196-i. This type has a integrated lan-gateway ( similar to KM200). Using the KM200-Bindig, the Heat-pump is discovered, but communication fails. I think, there is a problem with the private key. I have the loginname and password from the heat-pump (label), but there is no private password. Has anyone expirience to deal with that, or is there another solution?
kind regards erich

Did you read about JCE ?

yes, i did and installed the two additional jarĀ“s with reboot. (i am using ZULU-11 on WIN10-System)

Hello,

Iā€™ve got more or less the same pump. Do you ā€˜createā€™ the correct private key?

There is a link and description.

I have read all that stuff. but the problem is,that i have no ā€œPrivatePasswordā€! for a gateway because there is no expizit extra gateway - it is a builtin one. The Android-App connects via the ā€œBOSCH-IDā€ and that password seems not to work in the KM200-binding. I mention, the authentification is a little bit different to the KM200.

Yes, itā€™s the same machine here. The gateway is built in. Itā€™s some time since I installed it. But I think the password is the same as you can find in the system menu under ā€˜internetā€™. The second step is to descramble the private key (link above).
But I can have a look tomorrow or at the weekend in my config files.

Ok, second try.
Go to AES-Key-Generator fĆ¼r das KM200 Web Gateway and insert the PW shown in the ā€œinternetā€ menu of the pump and your Bosch-App Password.
If this will not generate the proper secret key IĀ“ll have a look at the weekend.
Hope it helps.
Best regards and good luck.

Ok, now i got it. The password is not displayed in the ā€œInternet-Menuā€ There is only the option to reset the password. So i reset the password and had to reinstall the App to set a new password. Now i generated the AES-Key with this new password and it works. Thx!

Hi there,
I am running the km200 binding in a docker container and also had the issue with ā€œno communication possibleā€ā€¦ I tried so many things, what in the end worked was easy so I wanted to share:

As your ā€œInternet Passwordā€ or private password, please do use a very simple password, I am not sure wether upper-case letters are supported and for sure no !?#.,-_ etc. I simplified my password and suddenly it worked.

Many thanks though for all posts here that helped me find check various possible issues!

Hi @kaper25
I wasnā€™t aware that the KM200 binding might support the WLW196.
So thankā€™s for creating this thread (and to Joe for reviving it :wink: )

Since Iā€™m interested in that heatpump too (not ordered yet), Iā€™d like asking you about your impressions/experiences of this integration:

  • Would you share a list of channels you get from the KM200 binding talking to your WLW196?

  • Does the integration/communication via the binding work reliably?

  • Are you controlling/changing operation of the heatpump somehow from openHAB side (e.g. force usage of PV surplus) or are you just monitoring the heatpump?

Many thanks,
Curlyel
