MCZ Suite/Club Hydromatic 18 M2+

[fkhm2]

Hello everyone,

great project and thanks for the implementation so far. I was able to install the integration without any problems and link it to my Maestro+ account. The pellet stove is also displayed to me and a lot of sensors as well as a few settings as entities, you can see the entities in the screenshots.

Unfortunately I can only see one switch (timer) on the control and turn it on or off. I would like to deactivate the Crono setting from the Maestro+ app and control everything via HA. So on/off, level, etc.

Is it possible to integrate the above mentioned oven or control functions?

Best regards
Florian

@fkhm2,
Thanks for reporting this issue.

It's known to me that hydromatic stoves are still a bit problematic with this integration at this moment.

I'll look into building support for it soon.
However, it very hard to do since I don't have a hydromatic stove to test with ofcourse.

Would it be possible to provide me with the diagnostics file of your integration?

Also, the timer switch = crono on / off

Kind regards,
Robbe

Hi Robbe,

is the diagnosticsfile this one I can Download at the overview of the device (Download Diagnosticinformation)? Do I have to anonymize anything? You can get this file instantly.

Kind regards
Florian

It's indeed that file.
Don't worry about the data in it, the security sensitive fields are already redacted.
Kind regards

[fkhm2]

Attached the diagnostic informations. If you need any further information please let me know.

Kind regards

@fkhm2,
Don't you see the stove itself ?
I see it's missing from your screenshots, but with your diagnostics file I see it popping up 😄

@fkhm2, Florian,
From what I can see the Timer switch should be usable for you, it toggles the Crono setting of the stove.
Can you confirm this is already working ?
Kind regards,
Robbe

@fkhm2, Florian,
Is your stove able to toggle "start / stop (eco mode)" in the MCZ app ?
Can you maybe provide me with some screenshots of the MCZ app, that would be a great help as well.
I'm mainly interested in the main screens and also in the Start / Stop configuration screen from the settings.
Thanks !
Kind regards,
Robbe

Hey Robbe,

sorry for the late answer, attached a screenshot from my Homeassistant, I don't see the stove itself but I can toggle the timer. It took 2 trys and then the crono was deactivated in the maestro+ app.
The screenshots of the maestro+ App will be in the next post, I can start the stove manually there.

Thank you!

[fkhm2]

Screenshots from the Maestro+ App, of you Need any more let me know.

@fkhm2, Florian,
That is very odd, you really should be able to see the stove (as showed in my screenshot).
Is there anything in the logging of HA about the MCZ integration ?
Did you tried reloading the integration ?
I'm making this my first priority to fix as this is the core of my integration, the stove itself....
This should really be visible to you....

As I'm typing this, I see the screenshots coming in.
I also found an issue in the start / stop configurations.
I'm fixing this very soon, after this fix, it will also expose the start stop settings and switch for you.

Kind regards,
Robbe

@fkhm2, Florian,
#118 should do the trick for the start / stop entities.

Example for your stove:

Kind regards,

@fkhm2,
I tried to investigate how this is possible that you are not seeing the stove entity.
I'm almost certain this should have something to do with an exception.
You can find this by checking the Home Assistant logs (Settings => System => Logs) and search for "MCZ" related entries.
Let me know if there is anything in there.
Note: the only thing you might see in there and you should consider 'normal' is a timeout message due to the slow MCZ servers 😄

[fkhm2]

Thanks you a lot, I changed the file with file editor like you did in #118 and now I have start/stop, but without the "timer" from your screenshot with 0s and 300s parameters.

Attached the new screenshot. I don't get why HA is telling me there are 23 entities but I can only see 15. Also it says "Error while loading page entities." when I click on the 23 entities.

I checked the log, there is just the initializing of the integration and after that just the timeout messages.

;)

After deleting the Hub and all mcz entities I readded my account. Now it works and looks like this:

@fkhm2,
Something seems to be really off here.
I suggest you remove the entire integration, reboot HA and reinstall it again.
I'm releasing these change today anyway.

Great !

@fkhm2,
Is everything covered now ?
I'm soon looking into supporting more hydro features.
But for this item, as far as issues go, do you need something more out of it or can we close this item ?
Kind regards,
Robbe

@fkhm2,
