Work in progress! Not yet tested.

Short summary

Add virtual devices for your Efesto (compatible) heater to your Domoticz

Control your pellet heater from Domoticz. Nice to combine with Tado or other smart home thermostat.

You will need to add the Wifi module to your pellet heater for this to work. There is no official API, but the web-app uses an ajax interface that can be used by Domoticz. You will have to login to the interface and copy the PHPSESSID from the headers after login. Use developer tools (F12 in Chrome -> Network) to find it.

Installation and setup

If you are use a Raspberry Pi to host your Domoticz, you probably need to install libpython3.4 for plugins to work.

sudo apt install libpython3.4

At the moment of writing you also need to install:

sudo apt install python3-dev

In your domoticz/plugins directory do

cd domoticz/plugins
git clone https://github.com/appelflap/domoticz-efesto.git

Alternatively you can download the latest version from https://github.com/appelflap/domoticz-efesto/archive/master.zip and unzip it. Then create a directory on your Domoticz device in domoticz/plugins named efesto and transfer all the files to your device.

Restart your Domoticz service with:

sudo service domoticz.sh restart

Now go to Setup, Hardware in your Domoticz interface. There you add Efesto Heater Control.

Make sure you enter all the required fields.
