Remeha Modbus Gateway integration for Home Assistant

Remeha logo

Hassfest Validate HACS pytest badge GitHub tag (latest by date)

This integration allows you to manage your Remeha heating/cooling appliance locally from Home Assistant.

Supported appliances

According to Remeha, the following appliances can be extended with a GTW-08 (modbus interface), or have one pre-installed:

Appliance type Supported by GTW-08 Tested
Elga Ace
Elga Ace MB
Mercuria
Eria Tower
Eria Tower Ace (S)
Mercuria Ace
Mercuria Ace MB
Gas 220 Ace
Quinta Ace 65
Quinta Ace 160
Gas 320/620 Ace
miTerra
miTerra plus

This integration is known to be working with the tested devices, but since the modbus interface is the same for all others, it is very likely that it will work for those too. This list is also available on the Remeha site (Dutch 🇳🇱): Remeha modbus support.

Supported modbus proxies

The following proxies are known to be working with this integration. Other gateways or proxies probably work as well, but haven't been tested.

Current features

Planned features and features under discussion are available in the issues. If you're missing a feature that has not been mentioned yet in the issues, please submit an issue or a PR.

  • Connections:
    • Directly through a serial port
    • Indirectly through a proxy over WiFi or ethernet.
  • Supported climate zones are exposed as climate entities
    • DHW (domestic hot water)
    • CH (central heating)
    • Automatically discovered once the integration has been set up.
    • Linked to a device, showing the type of board in the Remeha appliance, including its soft- and hardware versions.
    • Climate features are enabled depending on the climate zone type (for instance, a DHW zone is only able to heat, not cool).
  • DHW auto scheduling:
    • This integration exposes a service called dhw_auto_schedule that can be used in automations or scripts. A detailed explanation follows below.

Installation

To install this integration, you need to have HACS installed in your Home Assistant.

Open your Home Assistant instance and open a repository inside the Home Assistant Community Store.

DHW auto scheduling

DHW auto scheduling is a feature allowing efficient heating of your DHW boiler by using as much solar power as possible while keeping the interference to a minimum with other devices also using (direct) solar power.

How to use

To start using the auto scheduling feature, execute the following steps:

Install KNMI weather integration

  • Request an API key at weerlive.nl
  • Install the KNMI weather integration using the button below and enter the obtained API key during installation.

Open your Home Assistant instance and open a repository inside the Home Assistant Community Store.

Reconfigure this integration

  • Reconfigure this integration and provide the required information about your PV system and DHW boiler. Select the KNMI weather entity to retrieve the weather forecast.

Example configuration:

Example configuration

Create an automation

  • Then just create a new automation with the following properties:
    • Trigger at any time between 22:00 and 23:59
    • Call the Remeha Modbus action dhw_auto_schedule
    • Optionally set the DHW boiler climate to preset schedule_1.

Set the correct DHW preset mode

After creating the automation, a new schedule for the next day will automatically be created. If the preset is not set in the automation, manually change the preset mode of your DHW boiler climate to Schedule 1, otherwise the schedule will of course be inactive.
