eBUS Binding 3.x [3.4.0;3.9.9)

dk8pn · January 1, 2023, 6:25pm

Have already a new problem with heatpump hours.

Ebusd reading: 19960 hours

Hex code reading:

hmu Hours = 3108b51a0405ff3240 / 0aff0827f84d0000000000

My .json attempt:

{
            "label":    "Betriebsstunden",
            "id":       "Hours",
            "command":  "B5 1A",

            "get": {
                "master": [
                    {"type": "static", "default": "05 FF 32 40"}
				],
                "slave": [
                    {"type": "byte"},
					{"type": "byte"},
					{"type": "byte"},
					{"name": "Hours", "type": "byte", "label": "Betriebsstunden", "min": 0, "max": 100000, "format":"%d h"},
					{"type": "byte"},
					{"type": "byte"},
					{"type": "byte"},
					{"type": "byte"},
                    {"type": "byte"},
                    {"type": "byte"}
				]
			}
		}

This results in 249 h instead of 19960 h and a am not able to figure out why? In ebusd the data type is “energy” but i don’t know what it should be in ebus. Thanks for your hints in advance.

You need a longer type like word instead of byte.

Chiuaua79 · January 1, 2023, 7:03pm

The column says “datatype/template”. In the Vaillant config folder of John30’s Github, you can find _template.csv explaining what datatype “energy” is: UIN.

So Openhab datatype is “word” (which is two bytes long) AND you have to add the “low byte first” by adding the following:

“reverseByteOrder”: true

And as it is two bytes long, you can skip one of the “byte” entries at the end

Works out, again a repetitive great support. Thank you very much , also @csowada . Recognize, that i am still at the very beginning of ebus learning. That’s all pretty tricky.

Here my final Vaillant hmu08_config.json for other users which might be interested (main author is @Chiuaua79):

Hi Cor. Saw values of e.g. -41% today for the “CurrentCompressorUtil”. Would expect a range of 0…100%. Isn’t it the 3rd byte we are looking for (38 hex) instead of the fourth byte (62 hex) which we looked for initially? If i confugure it like this, i get +56% instead of -41%.

In ebusd i get the negative values as well ??? This lets me doubt. Initially i only checked if i get the same readings in openHAB as in ebusd and this was the case applying your solution.

If the forth byte (62 hex) is right, could it be the data type “data1c” instead of “data1b”? In John’s list D1B is signed integer which is dedicated for -127…+127 while D1C is unsigned integer which is for 0.0…100.0 (would match the desired percent range). If this is the case, John’s 08.hmu.csv would contain a failure for the “CurrentCompressorUtil”?

Chiuaua79 · January 3, 2023, 3:46pm

Hello Willibald. The csv file gives “IGN:3” meaning to ignore the first three bytes of the response. Also, 62 hex equalled 98 when converting it to signed integer (d1b), which was the utilization that you read from ebusd.

You also have the Vaillant app apparently (as you could compare the circulation pump status). The csv file screenshot shows the text “some more statistics from Live Monitor”. Are you able to compare your values with values that are given by a Vaillant controller, app or device?

Veitk · January 3, 2023, 4:20pm

Hi Willi and Cor,

Thanks for providing this. Works perfectly , and I didn’t see any negative values for the compressor value so far.

Just as a note to others: I had to add the HMU thing manually after pointing the ebus binding to the .json file, choosing 08 as slave adress.

Cheers, Veit

dk8pn · January 4, 2023, 7:03am

@Chiuaua79 and @Veitk,

Understood what IGN:3 is now. Then everything seems to be okay. The myVaillant app doesn’t show such parameters. Will dig into the controller and see what i can get there. “Live Monitor” should be a menu point. In the meantime i observed “CurrentCompressorUtil” values between -105% and +122% while “off” is 0%. Interesting that Veit doesn’t see negative values. What type is your pump? I have an aroTherm VML105/6 heatpump.

Veitk · January 4, 2023, 7:47am

I have an aroTherm VWL85/2 heatpump. Still no negative values since setting up the HMU thing.

dk8pn · January 4, 2023, 10:25am

@Veitk and @Chiuaua79 ,

Went through the “Live Monitor” of the controller in expert mode. Beside interesting other parameters like “compressor hours” or “compressor starts” i only found “compressor modulation”. While i saw the desired “CurrentCompressorUtil” at -76% the “compressor modulation” value was +27%.

For the moment i conclude that “CurrentCompressorUtil” is likely not a valid parameter of my heatpump type. If i figure out something new, i will let you know.

Edit:
Will see if i can grab telegrams using “ebusctl grab result decode” while i step through the desired compressor parameters within the Vaillant “Live Monitor”.

dk8pn · January 8, 2023, 7:04am

Made some progress. Have been able to grab telegrams using “ebusctl grab result decode” while i stepped through the desired compressor parameters within the Vaillant controller. Searched for the appropriate values then. This is at least valid for a Vaillant aroTherm VML105/6 (year 2020).

The value “CurrentCompressorUtil” from John30 is obviously not existing within the controller menu of my heatpump but i left it in the .json file for other users. It worked out at least for Veit (see above). Instead of “compressor utilization” i found “compressor modulation” which makes sense for a modulated inverter heatpump.

Edited on 10.01.2023.
Added the following new parameters to my Vaillant hmu08_config.json and updated the file below:

Energy integral
Compressor modulation
Compressor operation hours
Compressor starts
Building pump operation hours
Building pump starts
Fan 1 hours
Fan 1 starts
Fan 2 hours
Fan 2 starts
EEV valve steps (electronic expansion valve)
Current power consumption
Current yield power (power gained out of the air)
Heat water flowrate
Operation hours total
Operation hours heat circuit
Operation hours hot water circuit
Operation hours 4-way valve
Switchings 4-way valve

I’m running Openhab 3.4.1 on Windows 11 with EBUS binding 3.2.14.
After a Windows update at the weekend, Openhab always ended itself after 30-60 minutes without an error message.
Assuming it could be Java, I went to Zulu 17. When that didn’t work either, I’m now on 4.0.0 Snapshot. The system runs with that, but I always get the error message from the Ebus binding.

Exception in thread "ebus-receiver-707" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'void org.openhab.core.library.types.DecimalType.<init>(java.math.BigDecimal)'
        at org.openhab.binding.ebus.internal.handler.EBusHandler.assignValueToChannel(EBusHandler.java:204)

        at java.base/java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:833)

The funny thing is that the message only appears in the console and does not appear in the log file.
Does anyone know what I’m doing wrong ?

Thx talli

@Jorgensen ,

Hello. Saw that you have detected several ebus commands for the Vaillant “hmu”. Am searching for the “VUV switching cycles” (hot water priority valve). Can you help me on that?

Edit on 11.02.2023: figured out that parameters of devices (T.1.x) which are located within the uniTower (indoor unit) like VUV or heating rod are not supported by ebus communication because they are available for the controller directly.

splatch · January 14, 2023, 4:32pm

It will not work because openHAB 4.0-SNAPSHOT started to introduce non-compatible changes which affected all bindings. The ebus binding will require update to work with that release. Please go back and stay a bit with 3.4.

Tallman · January 15, 2023, 11:54am

Thanks for the tip, thought Java 17 is fully backwards compatible.
I’m back to 3.4.1 and Java 11 updated. That’s it again

splatch · January 15, 2023, 2:05pm

Java 17 is not an issue, issues are caused by changes in OH 4.x codebase itself. The NoSuchMethodError you saw tells that method with which code was compiled can not be found at runtime. You can run probably OH 3.3 with Java 17.

Tallman · January 15, 2023, 6:09pm

I will stay with Java 11 for the time being, because with Java 17 Java alone had generated a CPU load of almost 50%, with Java 11 I was at an average of 3 - 5%

J35u5fr34k · January 16, 2023, 6:45am

Hey Community,
just one thing that was not easy for me to figure out and I’d like to share:
The ebus binding really works like a charm. Great work, really love and appreciate!
I installed the ebus binding via Paper UI and then created all items manually in an item file and added the channel. This is the common way for me cause I’ve a legacy setup with item files since Openhab 1.x and never changed everything. So I remained to use the *.item files for setting up items.
After creating all relevant items and adding the channels, everything seem to be working fine, but I figured out, all items were read only. So i tried lot’s of things but nothing worked to get items to write changes to ebus. Almost drove me nuts

The solution for me was, to delete all manual config via item files and to create all items in PaperUI. That solved EVERYTHING and it worked out of the box without any issues. No weird error messages in the log, everything read and write, everything stable and fun.

Just wanted to let you know, that items via PaperUI solved a lot problems and saved a lot of work for me

And again thanks to @csowada for the really really great plugin.

Cheers
Sebastian

Edvard_Munch · January 18, 2023, 8:31pm

Hi,

thanks for the binding. i got it working:
-docker openhab3.4.1 with 3.2.14 binding on unraid
-docker ebusd latest version
-ebus Adapter 3.1 with LAN

tested one slave with the standard bai08 config profided by the binding, but a lot of informations are missing compared to the possible data values:

so where can i add my custom configuration files? there should be a configurationUrl ? How to use it?

thanks
Maik

ComJack85 · January 23, 2023, 6:21pm

Hello, I need some help and namely I have a fresh openhab 3.4.1 installation on a Pi4 with an eBUS Adapter 3 HAT (adapter.ebusd.eu). In OH only the eBUS binding and the MQTT binding is installed. In the “/boot/config.txt” I entered “dtoverlay=pi3-miniuart-bt” because serial0 pointed to ttyS0 and now points to ttyAMA0. The eBUS Bridge goes online, but I can’t find my “VAILLANT package 1.331/5 ecoCOMPACT VSC 146/4-5 150 LL with VRC 700/6” in a scan.

What am I doing wrong or have I forgotten?

I have the following information in addition.

pi@openhabian:~ $ dmesg|grep ttyAMA0
