v0.6.0 — Outdoor VRF health diagnostics & warnings
Read the outdoor machine like a service engineer
The integration now polls each outdoor unit's cycle-monitoring data and turns the raw refrigerant readings into an actionable health status.
New "Outdoor unit" device per condensing unit:
- Telemetry sensors: outside / discharge / inverter (IPM) temperature, high & low pressure (bar), compressor current, frequency and run-hours.
- Derived engineer's metrics: condensing & evaporating temperature, condenser approach (a dirty-coil / cleaning indicator) and suction superheat.
- Health status sensor — OK / Warning / Alert — that flags a dirty condenser coil, high discharge temperature, inverter overheating, likely low charge, or a communication fault, with a plain-language
issueslist you can show on a dashboard. - Compressor-running, communication-error and maintenance-required binary sensors.
Per-unit warnings you can automate on
Every indoor/EHS/ERV unit now has Fault and Filter binary sensors (problem device class). Point a Home Assistant automation at them to get a notification when a unit errors or when its filter-cleaning alarm trips.
All thresholds are conservative and advisory — this highlights "worth looking at", not a replacement for a technician with gauges. R410A (DVM S/Plus). Verified against live site data.
