DHW Setpoint not updated in PS=1 String

Post by jake3317 »

Boiler: Remeha Quinta 28C
Thermostat: iSense (v19. external input allowed)

With a manual of Domoticz command SW=62, I am able to change the Domestic Hot Water Setpoint to 62 degrees. This is in OTMonitor visible in both the 'Summary' and 'Status page'. However, in the PS=1 string, and therefore also in Domoticz, I still see the old setpoint, as set by the iSense: 59'C. The iSense itself is also still at 59. Please see the piece of the OT messages at the point where I did the manual / Domoticz override:

It looks like the PS=1 string of data is not updated with the new setpoint.
Is it normal that the iSense is not updated with the new DHW Setpoint? It does react well on changing the Thermostat Setpoint.

Correct. The PS=1 report contains the values from the Write-Data messages received from the thermostat or Read-Ack messages received from the boiler. If your iSense would ever issue a Read-Data for MsgID 56, you would get the new setpoint as returned by the boiler. But if the thermostat only ever sends Write-Data messages, then that's the value you will see in the PS=1 report and the iSense will not learn about the new DHW setpoint.

Is it possible to manually force a Read-Data for MsgID 56? The iSense might not request it, but in PS=0 mode the summary page shows now for days already the 62'C with 274 updates, so no other temperature (59'C) has been reported back. I wonder what can be done to trigger a change in the PS=1 report. The PS=1 report now still reports a value of 59'C for MsgID=56.
As shown in the log, both a Write Data and a Write Acknowledge are there for the 62'C. Is it correct, that if the thermostat would send a Write Data of 59'C, it would override the 62'C and would show it in the summary page as well? That last part doesn't happen, so I am lost... is the actual setpoint now 59 or 62'C?

For me it is OK if the iSense is not displaying the correct setpoint because of the suggested 'not reading', because it isn't a parameter that I would check out on the thermostat anyway. As long as the correct setpoint value is in the PS=1 report, I can control MsgID 56 with Domoticz.

You have told the gateway to set the DHW temperature to 62. It will remember that until you tell it otherwise. So every time the thermostat sends a Write Data for 59, the gateway changes it to 62 before sending it to the boiler. This means the actual setpoint is 62 degrees.

If you issue an AA=56 command, the gateway will substitute a command from the thermostat that it knows the boiler doesn't support with a request for MsgID 56. You only have to do the AA command once for the gateway to request the information on a regular basis.

Thanks for the clarification. Everything seems to go fine and is as expected. I hardly dare to ask again (I might seem to want something that is impossible, but it is not understandable for me at the moment) , but if the gateway does such a good job of blocking the 59'C and forwarding it as 62'C, why is that not sufficient enough to update the PS=1 value to 62 as well? That would save my day :)

As I explained before, the gateway stores the values from Write-Data messages received from the thermostat and Read-Ack messages received from the boiler. As a general rule that provides the best results. Normally people want to know the values the attached equipment produce, not the values that the gateway was instructed to send. Those are already known. I can't cater for one user who wants something different for one specific message. The gateway doesn't have RMMADWIM functionality. If you need customized firmware, the sources are available for you to modify to your taste.
