The only thing is that if I change something, and that works, something else stops working.
Like now I don't have webacces anymore so Toon can't be controlled via Home Assistant
So back to the search function / google again.
Check the firewall and if lighttpd is running. Thats the only two things what is needed for it to work.

Wi-Fi problems.
Although my Wi-Fi system (TP-Link Omada controller and EAP345 AP's) shows that Toon is connected with full signal strength, Toon shows no signal, no IP address.
After a reboot everything is ok although I need to enable remote acces on Toon.
(is it possible to use the Ethernet port????)

Yes, the Ethernet port works fine

Both are ok.
On Toon I can enable local network acces (and than everything works) but it will disable it's self after 2 hours.

Don't touch that button. It will replace your rooted toon firewall settings after that 2 hours. On a normal rooted toon local network access is already enabled for ever.

If it works with local network, then you need to check you're iptables.

A small update:
System is still running 'fine'.
After a firmware update, the qmf_release.xml file was overwritten so I had to edit the file again.
Not a big deal but something to remember for a next time.

Hi,
I am getting into some kind of issue with this setup
I did all the steps and indeed the tempreture is following the external sensor , however the boiler is not responding to the new tempreture , somehow the tempreture correction seems to interfere
any idea how to correct that ?

Ok... I'm almost done now
I found out that Toon is very slow updating the temperature.
So if I manually changed the temperature to 24.5, Toon will gradually change the temperature to 24.5. I think the whole process last a few minutes. So thats why I thought the scripts and settings did not work because I did not see any changes on the screen.
I found a bug in Toon. with this setup.
If I want to calibrate the temperature in the menu of Toon, it wil change to a very odd value and it is not possible to change that value..... So hands of of that setting
The Node Red script on Home Assistant works
The webserver works
The wget download script works
Toon reads the contents of the text file.
Only one thing that I need to solve is to automatically start the script at boot.
For the info:
Node Red see attached file.

download script (/etc/init.d/download_temp.sh):
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
while true
do
wget -q -N -O /var/externaltemp/temp http://192.168.178.6/temp.txt
sleep 30
done
and qmf_release.xml:
Code: Select all
<happ_thermstat>
<useDynamicTempCorrection>0</useDynamicTempCorrection>
<sysFsTempAddress>/var/externaltemp/temp</sysFsTempAddress>
</happ_thermstat>
how did you fix it when you modified the correction and could not get it back to normal ?

I don't know what I did back then.
Change the settings back in /qmf/etc/qmf_release.xml
Code: Select all
<happ_thermstat>
<useDynamicTempCorrection>0</useDynamicTempCorrection>
<i2cTempError>0</i2cTempError>
<sysFsTempAddress>/var/externaltemp/temp</sysFsTempAddress>
<maxPreheatTime>180</maxPreheatTime>
</happ_thermstat>
But I can remember something that this did not worked well.
After a fimware update or downgrade it should be back to normal (update the qmf_release.xml after firmware update)

for future reference if someone had the same issue :
tried to revert back qmf_release.xml did not work for me , what worked for me is factory reset
did not try to have firmware downgrade

Nice work! This shows how much can be done with a bit of just trying and reading guides/manuals etc.
Unfortunatly this doesn't work on a Toon2 as it has other type of temp sensors which can not be changed to another file as in a Toon1
As I am considering the upgarde to Toon2 , have we found any workaround for this ?

No, this cannot be done on a Toon 2
