Hi,

I’m being using the homeconnect binding for some time to control my washer, dryer and disherwasher. My setup allows me to start them automatically when I have enough solar generated power to run them.

My dryer recently died, so I got a replacement … a Bosch WQH246DRIE.

It connects OK in the app; I see it in Openhab.

However, the dryer turns off after 30 minutes - my old one didn’t do this.

What I used to do was:

  1. Set the drying program I wanted.
  2. Press Remote start
  3. Some time later Openhab would start the dryer based on solar power available.

What happens now is:

  1. Set the drying program I wanted.
  2. Press Remote Start
  3. The Dryer turns off and forgets the selected program.

I can turn the dryer on, and select the program from the home connect app, as well as the API.

The channel power_state does not appear in the dryer thing.

What I think I need to do is:

  1. Set the drying program I want
  2. Press remote start
  3. Openhab to record/note the drying program selected.
  4. When the solar power is available:
    1. Turn on the dryer
    2. set the program to the previously noted version.

Is there a way to turn on the dryer without the power_state channel (such as programmatically getting access to the bearer toke).

Or is there a much simpler way?

Thank you.
