Hoval has its new TopTronic E® device series that includes comfort air ventilation, warm water, solar etc. Hoval offers also two types of gateways (KNX and ModBus) to connect TopTronic E® devices to home automation systems. Unfortunately, the gateways cost quite a lot and are not easy to configure. So, some time ago I decided to make the gateway by myself. The Idea is that Hoval devices communicate via CAN-Bus, so I tried to decode this communication and build my own gateway (HW and SW). There is what came out: Project on GitHub. Features:
- Configurable for all device types, configuration via web interface
- Support MQTT protocol, Modbus TCP, REST API, KNX IP
- Support Home Assistant MQTT Discovery (also can be used in OpenHab)
- Read all device parameters, write/set control values
- Data logging on SD-Card (optionally)
Successfully tested with TTE-HV (HomeVent ventilation), TTE-WEZ (heating generator), TTE-HKW (heating/warm water), TTE-PS (puffer module), TTE-SOL (solar), TTE-BM (room control unit), TTE-GW (gateway), TTE-FW (long-distance heating).
