Thermostats

[dorr14]

Hi Guys, I have recently migrated over to the myUplink service for my NIBE heatpump as they are decommissioning the old uplink in August. I was wondering if anyone had any success in adding thermostats to the new myuplink API for Nibe? In the old Nibe Uplink you were able to add the thermostats via the config YAML however I can't see how to do the same for the new service.

Do you have some examples of thermostats ?

[dorr14]

The thermostat are in HA via the tado integration.

I'm in the same position as OP. Forced to move from uplink to myuplink and I can't find a way to set up the thermostat.
This is an example of how the thermostat was configured in the uplink world.

nibe:
  systems:
    # System identifier to add extra entities too
    - system: 176004
      # Optional smart thermostats.
      thermostats:
        # Key in dict is external identifer in nibe uplink, it should
        # be an unique integer for this thermostat
        1:
          # Required friendly name of thermostat
          name: 'Thermostat'

          # Optional name of a home assistant entity representing current temperature
          current_temperature: sensor.sensor_temperature

          # Optional name of a home assistant entity representing valve position of
          # a thermostat. At the moment it's use case is unknown.
          # valve_position: input_number.valve

          # List of systems that this thermostat is affecting. This is
          # this is the sub climate system/area index (System 1, System 2, ..)
          # that the pump is controlling.
          systems: 1

It uses the configured sensor to tell the heat pump the current room temperature and gives an input where you can set the desired temperature. Looking at the values in myuplink I can find the desired temperature, but not the current temperature so I don't know what the heat pump thinks the room temperature is or where it gets that value from.

I've asked their support team about the fate of the "smart thermostat" feature - I worry it might have been lost in the Nibe Uplink -> myUplink transition.

I have also asked Nibe about smart thermostats, and today I received a reply that the feature is in development and will be launched later this year.

Thanks for the update! My inquiry was acknowledged but is still in progress.

Hi

Sorry for my maybe stupid question, but was it really possible to use an external temperature data and feed it to the API for the heatpump to measure and give the most correct output ?
It sounds like exactly what i need.

So the the reference above, you just provided a tempature to current_temperature: sensor.sensor_temperature and the heatpump recieved this, and set the heat generation accordingly ?

[dorr14]

Yes, that is exactly what it used to do. The internel temp sensor, coupled with the weather compensation to determine the target internal flow. Sadly when they moved to the new uplink they removed this capability from the API.

Yep, and you could create several smart thermostats, I had one using a sensor in my living room and another for my shower.

[kimsvane]

Damn, I would really like this to be implemented again.
It would solve our biggest problem with the heatpump, since currently our living room has many windows, and therefore it get's really hot during sunny days, so hot we have to open windows, and ideally that should also result in the heatpump not being used during those hours. except for water.

Anyone heard anything new on this? The year is almost over :)

[IngmarStein]

Last I heard was "it is being tested right now".

Great, thanks!
