Vaillant Arotherm Owners Thread

@jamespa

but there doesn’t seem to be a readily available integration for ebusd and HA that includes the heat pump specific variables. Have I missed something?

ebus and HA is NOT plug and play, that’s for sure.
It’s pretty technical, challenging and frustrating all at the same time.

But you can get to almost every Arotherm variable you need with the right config

Most of us use the JonesPD set of config files.

Loads more info in the dedicated ebusd thread.

I wander if I just alter that file to stop any polling via ebusd and only use the manual script if that would be better. Hopefully get an hour to play about with it over the weekend. I’ll try what you have above, and note the bits that get updated each minute, then possibly just narrow the manual 60s poll to things that arn’t already being done. Either that or I can try a command to space out the requests by 5-10 seconds each, so only asking for a little data at a time.
