pyIthoRFT 0.0.4

A python3 library to emulate an IthoRFT remote

pyIthoRFT

Python3 library for Itho RFT

Controls Itho ventilation boxes / Heat Recovery Units (HRU).

This project was developed during my free time, and contributions are welcome.

Overview

This library emulates the Itho RFT AUTO (536-0150) remote using the evofw3 Gateway by ghoti57 allowing the control of Itho ventilation / HRU units.

The primary objective for this library is to be integrated with Home Assistant as a custom_component.

The supported functionality includes:

• Pairing with the HRU using a randomly generated remote_address.
• Saving and loading the paired remote_address and unit_address.
• Sending remote commands (auto, low, high, and timer10/20/30).
• Parsing HRU data such as active_speed_mode, temperature, fault_active and filter_dirty)
• Logging gateway data to remote.log.

Upcoming steps:

• Integration of the library into Home Assistant or HACS (Home Assistant Community Store) -> work-in-progress.

Setup

This project is compatible with any evofw3-compatible gateway. While I've observed stability issues with gateways utilizing the green CC1101 wireless RF module, I've opted to create my own solution.

The gateway I employ is a DIY homemade setup, comprising an Arduino Pro Micro 3V3 microcontroller and an EBYTE E07-900M10S wireless RF module.

Make sure your software version is at least v0.7.0 or later.

Please note that this implementation has only been tested on the Itho HRU ECO300 model.

Feel free to let me know if you have any further questions or need assistance with anything else!
