pysolarfocus 4.0.0.1

Unofficial, local Solarfocus client

pysolarfocus: Python Client for Solarfocus eco^{manager-touch} via Modbus TCP

Python client library to interact with heating systems of Solarfocus (eco^{manager-touch} and thermi^nator II) via Modbus TCP. This library has been developed for the integration into Home-Assistant via a custom integration, but can be used indepdently.

What's Supported

Software Version

This integration has been tested with Solarfocus eco^{manager-touch} version 23.020.

Systems

• Heat pump vamp^air with eco^{manager-touch}
• Biomass boiler thermi^nator II

How To

Basic Example

from pysolarfocus import SolarfocusAPI,Systems,ApiVersions

# Create the Solarfocus API client
solarfocus = SolarfocusAPI(
    ip="solarfocus",                    # adapt IP-Address 
    system=Systems.Vampair,             # for biomass boiler change to Systems.Therminator 
    api_version=ApiVersions.V_23_020)   # select Solarfocus version

solarfocus.connect()
# Fetch the values
solarfocus.update()

# Print the values
print(solarfocus)
print(solarfocus.heating_circuits[0])

Output:

Handling multiple components e.g. heating circuits

Solarfocus systems allow the use of multiple heating circuits, buffers, boilers, and fresh water modules. The api can be configured to interact with multiple components.

# Create the Solarfocus API client with 2 Heating Circuits
solarfocus = SolarfocusAPI(ip="[Your-IP]",heating_circuit_count=2,system=Systems.Vampair)
# Connect to the heating system
solarfocus.connect()

# Update all heating circuits
solarfocus.update_heating()

# Update only the first heating circuit
solarfocus.heating_circuits[0].update()
# Print the first heating circuit
print(solarfocus.heating_circuits[0])

# Set the temperature of the first heating circuit to 30°C
solarfocus.heating_circuits[0].indoor_temperatur_external.set_unscaled_value(30)
# Write the value to the heating system
solarfocus.heating_circuits[0].indoor_temperatur_external.commit()

API-Version specification

By default, the integration uses API-Version21.140. If your system is newer, you can specify the version by using the api_version parameter.

solarfocus = SolarfocusAPI(ip="[Your-IP]", system=Systems.Vampair, api_version=ApiVersions.V_23_020)

You can find the API-Version displayed in the header of the screen of your Solarfocus system:
