I believe that the thermostat displays the flame icon this way, and it doesn't take a minute to determine that it needs to be on.
That is also done using their BXT protocol. I am not really understanding it yet due to lack of proper skills but I think BXT is something like MQTT where data is pushed and subscribed to. In the thermostat app their is a section which updates the display value when the data is changed, see this in the file "/qmf/qml/apps/thermostat/ThermostatApp.qml":
Code: Select all
BxtDatasetHandler {
id: thermstatInfoDsHandler
dataset: "thermostatInfo"
discoHandler: thermstatDiscoHandler
onDatasetUpdate: onThermostatInfoChanged(update)
}

I'm on version 3.6.3. Will try to get the files from the same source, thanks.
And indeed, I saw the bxt stuff. I've seen other posts on the forum about it. Looks interesting. If that's more realtime, then mqtt becomes more interesting maybe.
BTW, how do you know what's on that repository?

The upgrade software downloads a list of packages as part of the update

Correct, the packages files are in these three locations:
Code: Select all
wget http://feed.hae.int/feeds/qb2/oe/2.6.36-base-r10-qmf0/Packages.gz
wget http://feed.hae.int/feeds/qb2/oe/2.6.36-R10-h27-no6/Packages.gz
wget http://feed.hae.int/feeds/qb2/ene/4.10.6/Packages.gz
The first one is the base and contains all packages which are available from normal Linux distrubutions, this is where mosquitto packages are found.
The second one should match your kernel version (zie 'uname -a'), and mainly contains kernel related stuff including modules.
The third one should reflect your Toon version and contains Toon related stuff.

Found a way to poll all RRD values using the /qmf/bin/bxt command.
It is working but I'm not really proud of it
Btw, notice a lot of CurrentElectricityFlow results. That is just because I have too many Fibaro plugs
And because I don't have OpenTherm a lot of boiler values are NaN or zero.
Code: Select all
eneco-xxx-xxxx:/qmf/bin# grep deviceUuid /qmf/config/config_hcb_rrd.xml | sed 's/[<,>]/,/g' | cut -d, -f7,11 | grep -v placeholder | while IFS=, read -r f1 f2 ; do /qmf/bin/bxt -c -q $f2 -d $f1 2>&1 | grep "HBXT_QUERY_RESPONSE" | cut -d\ -f8 ; done

Nice. Though a bit slow it seems.
From an app, you can subscribe to the thermostat information, and you will get a notification when something has changed, and an xml object with all the latest data. Seems that's the only construct that would make mqtt useful.
I've seen that you can run mosquito , and that you can run it like sort of a daemon, and it will send any stdin as an mqtt message.
Any way to send something from a QT app to an outside process?

I tried for an Opentherm CurrentBoilerTemperature value. I saw the corresponding value in RRD is changed at about the same moment when seeing a change in value with bxt.

It seems indeed to be that Quby uses MQTT natively ...
