Complete easy to use self-hosted standalone solution built on top of ebusd to replace Vaillant remote control system (MultiMATIC, SensoAPP, MyVaillant, etc.)
• Standalone solution, no external services required. No trackers / telemetry.
• Intuitive lightweight web interface accessible from any device with a web browser (phone, tablet, PC, or even a smartwatch). Most interface controls include descriptive text, helping users understand the changes they are making.
• Features the self-hosted Telegram bot for sending error notifications, current system status reports, and a remote system management.
• Always actual readings of the system settings and parameters - they are read from the system on the fly when the corresponding interface page loads.
• Easy setup: simply select which Zones and Circuits you want to display.
• Compatible with any Vaillant system featuring supported controller (currently supported all wired generations of VRC700 and VRC720). System management is performed via the controller (the same way as it's done by manufacturer).
• Management of the time windows, desired temperatures and special operating modes of the controller.
• Display of the status and error codes for the heat generator(s) installed in the system. Detailed codes explanation available for the supported families of the heat generators: turboTEC, atmoTEC, eloBLOCK, ecoTEC, ecoVIT, ecoCRAFT.
• Heat generators cascade support (for heat generators in cascade the following parameters are available: status code, temperature of the supply and return lines, error code. Sending notification in case of heat generators failure).
• Customizable display of up to 10 user-selected system parameters.
• Multiple user accounts with several permission levels: read only, normal user, specialist.
• Saving and restoring program settings via a configuration file.
• Built-in L2TP/IPsec (PSK) VPN client for remote access to the program's web interface.
• Allows changing all available (in ebusd configuration) settings for the controller and heat generator (experimental function for advanced users).
• Controller settings export into a TXT file.
• Automatic adjustment of the heat curve for selected heating circuits based on outdoor temperature (experimental function for experienced users).
• Automatic date/time correction of the controller clock using an internet-synchronized clock in the Webcontrol mini-PC.
• System control via an external contact (requires a USB GPIO device). Currently one function is implemented for the VRC700 controller.
• Supports both wired (Ethernet) and Wi-Fi connections.
• Program updates via the Internet or via downloadable ZIP package.
• Limited number of supported controllers (VRC700, VRC720). Other controllers (for example, VRT380) could be added if significant user demand is shown. No support for systems where controllers are not installed.
• Focus on heating. Currently no interface pages for managing cooling / ventilation (some parameters, however, could be set using direct set mode). Could be added if user interest is shown.
• No protection for Web interface. The system should be used only in controlled enviroment (LAN) with external access only via VPN.
• No fuel consumption / energy statistics data interface pages. Could be added if requested.
• No integration with smart-home systems. Acts as a pure standalone solution.
• No virtualization support. Should be run on a real hardware only.
