Hi everyone,
First of all, a big thanks to everyone on this forum for your help and advice. I have a 9kW Grant R290 which has been running since December.
I’ve been using the Rest service to read data into Home Assistant, and the Restful commands to change various parameters via automations.
Unfortunately, yesterday there seems to have been a change in the way that the information is reported. Register 211, Electrical Power, previous reported values of 0 - 2 kW. Now it reports much larger numbers (typically 10 to 25 while running) which are the pump flow rate.
Adding to the confusion, my ecoNET24 app is still reporting sensible electrical power values, about 1.2 kW during a hot water cycle. I can’t find a register that is reporting the electrical power, but it must be hiding somewhere.
Has there been a firmware update for the Grant controller or heatpump? Has this changed how the information is reported? Perhaps it’s a bug somewhere, sending the wrong data to the register? Flow rate is register 1211, electrical power is 211, so perhaps there is a typo in some software or firmware?
Most other registers seem to be reporting normally (hot water temperature, external temperature, flowT, returnT etc.), but it seems that a few might have adjusted which register they are reported to. The heat pump is working as expected, including with my HA automations, since these don’t rely on the electrical power data.
Here are two graphs of the same sensor running HW cycles before and after the problem started.
From the app:
ecoNET version 3.2.3881
Controller firmware S024.27 (a.k.a Module A)
EcoTOUCH firmware S024.22 (a.k.a Module Panel 100)
Panels configuration version 1.20
UPDATE:
After installing the Econet300 integration (option #1 above) the same issue arises. There are three registers reporting the flow rate. These are flow rate, electrical power and register 64.
I could not see any entities listed by Econet300 that would match the electrical power draw.
Is this just me, or do other people see the same issue?
