htheatpump 1.3.1

Introduction

This library provides a pure Python interface to access Heliotherm and Brötje BSW NEO heat pumps over a serial connection. It’s compatible with Python version 3.7 and 3.8.

Installation

You can install or upgrade htheatpump with:

$ pip install htheatpump --upgrade

Or you can install from source with:

$ git clone https://github.com/dstrigl/htheatpump.git
$ cd htheatpump
$ python setup.py install

Getting started

To use htheatpump in a project take a look on the following example. After establishing a connection with the Heliotherm heat pump one can interact with it by different functions like reading or writing parameters.

from htheatpump import HtHeatpump

hp = HtHeatpump("/dev/ttyUSB0", baudrate=9600)
try:
    hp.open_connection()
    hp.login()
    # query for the outdoor temperature
    temp = hp.get_param("Temp. Aussen")
    print(temp)
    # ...
finally:
    hp.logout()  # try to logout for an ordinary cancellation (if possible)
    hp.close_connection()

from htheatpump import AioHtHeatpump

hp = AioHtHeatpump("/dev/ttyUSB0", baudrate=9600)
try:
    hp.open_connection()
    await hp.login_async()
    # query for the outdoor temperature
    temp = await hp.get_param_async("Temp. Aussen")
    print(temp)
    # ...
finally:
    await hp.logout_async()  # try to logout for an ordinary cancellation (if possible)
    hp.close_connection()

A full list of supported functions can be found in the htheatpump documentation at readthedocs.io.

There are also some sample scripts that are part of the htheatpump package and can be run immediately after installation, e.g.:

$ htquery --device /dev/ttyUSB1 "Temp. Aussen" "Stoerung"
HTHEATPUMP: load parameter definitions from: /home/pi/prog/htheatpump/htheatpump/htparams.csv
Stoerung    : False
Temp. Aussen: 5.0

import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

1.3.1 (2021-01-20)

• replaced Travis CI by GitHub Actions

• added async version of console scripts

• updated copyright statements

• some minor cleanup and improvements

1.3.0 (2020-12-28)

• added new class AioHtHeatpump for asynchronous communication (async/await) with the heat pump

• Python code reformatting using Black and isort

• moved protocol related constants and functions to protocol.py

• dropped support for Python 3.5 and 3.6

1.2.4 (2020-04-20)

• added support for Python 3.8

• some minor cleanup and improvements

• changed log statements to the form with the preferred and well-known %s (and %d, %f, etc.) string formatting indicators (due to performance reasons)

• added additional heat pump parameter (data points) Hauptschalter in htparams.csv

1.2.3 (2020-03-31)

• changed behaviour of HtHeatpump.reconnect(), which will now also establish a connection if still not connected

• added sample scripts (e.g. htcomplparams, htquery, etc.) to be part of the htheatpump package

• clean-up of setup.py and MANIFEST.in

1.2.2 (2020-03-29)

• added sample file htparams-xxxxxx-3_0_20-273.csv with a complete list of all heat pump parameters from a Heliotherm heat pump with SW 3.0.20

• added new sample script htcomplparams.py to create a complete list of all heat pump parameters

• added some more heat pump parameters (data points) in htparams.csv

• Python code reformatting using Black

• changed package requirements structure; some changes in setup.py, setup.cfg, tox.ini, etc.

1.2.1 (2020-02-07)

• updated copyright statements

• added factory function from_json to classes TimeProgPeriod, TimeProgEntry and TimeProgram

• fixed issue with fault lists with larger number of entries (in HtHeatpump.get_fault_list()); thanks to Alois for reporting

• added new function HtParam.check_value_type to verify the correct type of a passed value; the type of a passed value to HtHeatpump.set_param() will now be verified

• fixed issue with passing a larger number of indices to HtHeatpump.fast_query()

1.2.0 (2019-06-10)

• added support for Python’s “with” statement for the HtHeatpump class

• added some more unit-tests (especially for the time program functions)

• extended the sample scripts hthttp.py to query for time programs of the heat pump

• added new sample samples/httimeprog.py to read the time programs of the heat pump

• added new functions to write/change time program entries of the heat pump (see HtHeatpump.set_time_prog...)

• added new functions to read the time program of the heat pump (see HtHeatpump.get_time_prog...)

• added type annotations and hints for static type checking (using mypy)

• splitted up property HtHeatpump.verify_param to HtHeatpump.verify_param_action and HtHeatpump.verify_param_error

• renamed exception ParamVerificationException to VerificationException

• added support for Python 3.7

• dropped support for Python 3.4

• added some more heat pump parameters (data points) in htparams.csv

1.1.0 (2019-02-23)

• added some more heat pump parameters (data points) in htparams.csv

• extended sample script htfaultlist.py by the possibility to write a JSON/CSV file

• added new sample scripts hthttp.py and htfastquery.py

• fixed some formatting (flake8) errors

• changed return type of HtHeatpump.get_fault_list() from dict to list

• added support for Python 3.6

• added support for a user specific parameter definition file under ~/.htheatpump/htparams.csv

• extended sample htbackup.py to store also the limits (MIN and MAX) of each data point

• added method to verify the parameter definitions in htparams.csv during a HtHeatpump.get_param(), HtHeatpump.set_param() or HtHeatpump.query(); this is just for safety to be sure that the parameter definitions in HtParams are correct (deactivated by default, but can be activated by setting the property HtHeatpump.verify_param to True)

• added new method HtHeatpump.fast_query() to retrieve “MP” data point values in a faster way (“Web-Online”)

• extended the HtHeatpump.login() method to perform an update of the parameter limits if desired

1.0.0 (2018-01-12)

• First release on PyPI.
