Moduline 400: Missing holiday settings

[sciurius]

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION

The Moduline400 thermostat has settings for holidays, however these are not shown in the UI.

Searching the docs and discussions indicate they are implemented by now (3.7.0-dev4).

ADDITIONAL CONTEXT

In Settings > Customizations, there are entries for holidays and vacations but these have no values and are not displayed on the dashboard.

Add any other context about the problem here.

(Please, remember to close the issue when the problem has been addressed)

[MichaelDvP]

We expect the holiday and vacation dates in telegram 0x3F, offset 87- 98, but here the telegram ends in offset 86.
RC30Timer(0x3F), data: 90 E7 90 01 00 00 (offset 81)
If the thermostat have such a setting it is stored elsewhere and you need to change it on the thermostat and log the telegrams.

[proddy]

@sciurius could you find out?

[sciurius]

I must admit I am not familiar with this. All I can do is make some changes in the vacation program settings and include the resultant logging. Is it only the RC30Timer messages you are interested in?

BTW: What would be the difference between vacation and holidays? The thermostat only has one setting "Vakantie" (=vacation). holiday dates would imply a list of (national/regional/religious) holidays.

[MichaelDvP]

Yes, log all and change the vacation dates on the RC30.

In RC35 vacation is "away from home" (use night temp) and holiday is "at home" (use day temp).

[sciurius]

Attached is a logfile fragment consisting of some normal message sequences. I entered a vacation (program 1, from 30.04.24 to 01.05.24) and then the ?(0xA9) messages appeared.

ems1.log

Line ?(0xA9), data: FF 1E 04 18 01 05 18 FF 01 01 00 01 01 00 FF 01 01 00 01 01 00 FF 1E 01 0F 1E 01 has recognizable 1E 04 18 (30 04 24) 01 05 18 (01 01 05).

After setting vacation 2 to 03.05.24-05.05.24 the message becomes:

?(0xA9), data: FF 1E 04 18 01 05 18 FF 03 05 18 05 05 18 FF 01 01 00 01 01 00 FF 1E 01 0F 1E 01

So apparently it is FF day month year day month year FF ...etc... Empty (not set) is 01 01 00 01 01 00.

When cancelling the programs:

[sciurius]

Was this useful? Anything else I can do?

[MichaelDvP]

So you have up to 8 vacation periods. Is it useful to add 8 entities for this? RC30 has only one hc, so we do not run out of memory.
Or add it like the switchtimes, use only one entity with no,command 0:01.05.2024-10.05-2024, etc. and command with single switches the index? For first test i've added only read/write first vacation-period.

[sciurius]

As opposed to switchtimes, vacation periods are explicitly numbered (1..7) so it is probably better to use vacation1, vacation2, ...

[sciurius]

With 3.7.0-dev.10 I can now see and change the vacation dates. Date 4 is missing (typo? glitch?).

[proddy]

fixed by Michael in dev

[sciurius]

When I open EMS-ESP via the web page and select the thermostat, the vacation periods have no data.

After a refresh (e.g., Crtl-R), the data is shown.

[proddy]

all the time?

[sciurius]

It is not related to the vacation enhancements. Several values from other devices are missing as well, and it seems to affect FireFox only.

I can reproduce this as follows.

• Open a tab and type "http://ems-gw1.squirrel.nl"
• The tab opens, and is redirected to "http://ems-gw1.squirrel.nl/devices"
• Choose boiler, several values are missing
• Choose thermostat, same. Always the same set of values.
• [REFRESH] no change
• Ctrl-R goes back to "http://ems-gw1.squirrel.nl/devices".
• Choose boiler, all values are present.
• Choose thermostat, same.

Interesting is that when I open the tab and type "http://ems-gw1.squirrel.nl/devices", all values are there.

[sciurius]

I suspect it is one of my extensions that gets in the way. Let's ignore this for the time being.

[proddy]

I've opened a new issue anyway, and closing this one.
