waterfurnace 1.4.0

Python interface for waterfurnace geothermal systems

Python interface for waterfurnace and geostar geothermal systems.

This provides basic sensor readings for waterfurnace geothermal systems by using the websocket interface that exists for the symphony website. This is not a documented or stable interface, so don’t use this for critical systems. However, it is useful to record historical usage of your waterfurnace system.

Usage

from waterfurnace.waterfurnace import WaterFurnace
wf = WaterFurnace(user, pass)
wf.login()
data = wf.read()

from waterfurnace.waterfurnace import GeoStar
gs = GeoStar(user, pass)
gs.login()
data = gs.read()

The waterfurnace symphony service websocket monitors it’s usage, so you need to do a data reading at least every 30 seconds otherwise the websocket is closed on the server side for resource constraints. The symphony website does a poll on the websocket every 5 seconds.

The software now supports a CLI. For details, use waterfurnace –help

Known Issues / limitations

• The python websocket code goes into a blocked state after long periods of usage (always takes at least days if not weeks or months to get to this state). I’ve yet to discover why. Help welcome.
