McxFlowTempDesired in HA vr71

[pascalwinters]

How do I get those sensors in HA with the mqtt-hassio.cfg file?

And especially the McxFlowTempDesired values because the both SensorData sensors are there.

You need to change filter name to include Flow:
filter-name = Flow|...
and also directions to show writable values:
filter-direction = r|u|^w

[pascalwinters]

You need to change filter name to include Flow: filter-name = Flow|...

This doesn't help and the filter-direction was already configured on that way.
So the entity is not added to HA

And also temp was already added to the filer-name, so it should be already added. Also because sensor.ebusd_basv_hc1actualflowtempdesired_value is already added.

@pascalwinters

Changing the message type from 'w' to 'uw' (update-write) works for me (all filters disabled in mqtt-hassio.cfg):

*r,,,,,,B523,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
*uw,,,,,,B523,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
uw,,Mc1FlowTempDesired,,,,,0200,FTStatus,,onoff,,,,FTDesired,,temp1,,,,MixerStatus,s,onoff,,,,MixerMovement,s,percents,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
uw,,Mc2FlowTempDesired,,,,,0201,FTStatus,,onoff,,,,FTDesired,,temp1,,,,MixerStatus,s,onoff,,,,MixerMovement,s,percents,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
uw,,Mc3FlowTempDesired,,,,,0202,FTStatus,,onoff,,,,FTDesired,,temp1,,,,MixerStatus,s,onoff,,,,MixerMovement,s,percents,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

What do you mean with uw?
At the moment I have configured it like this: filter-direction = r|u|^w

[Koky05]

@chrizzzp points to modify 26.vr_71.csv, because it show that sensors are only for write not for read.

Message type is defined in the CSV. I use local CSVs and edited 26.vr_71.csv.

[pascalwinters]

Should we use those files: https://github.com/john30/ebusd-configuration/tree/master/src for the latest version?

[chrizzzp]

As far as I understood they apply to ebusd version >24.x where the CSV files are generated from these source files. I haven't really looked into 24.x yet. So I still use ebusd version 23.x with local CSVs. But I'm quite sure this is possible also in version 24.x
Anyway, the repo I mentioned above has a lot more message definitions than the original repo.

When I use the csv locally, I see this error:

Can you share the content of the file you have?

[pascalwinters]

I think I need those generated files: https://ebus.github.io/mapping.html
For example: https://ebus.github.io/en/vaillant/26.vr_71.csv
@john30 But where to download those for using them locally?

When I use the csv locally, I see this error:

Are you sure you also changed the default message type to 'uw'?
*uw,,,,,,B523,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

This is the local 26.vr_71.csv I use:

WIth local CSVs you have to run ebusd with the option

-c, --configpath=PATH

If you use the HA ebusd addon you can define the local path in the configuration tab of the addon. Local files have to be in a location ebusd can access (important if you run it in a container like the HA ebusd addon does).

[pascalwinters]

I have the entities finally in HA. Thanks For support.
But it needs a change in the 26.vr_71.csv to support it native. So it's up to @john30 to decide how to proceed with this ticket.

[john30]

I don't see any action to be taken as the mentioned vr71 is already part of the repo.
someone likes to explain what is supposed to be done?

[chrizzzp]

A change from message type 'w' to 'uw' is requested for the following definitions of the 26.vr_71.csv:

*uw,,,,,,B523,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
uw,,SetActorState,,,,,05,R1,,UCH,0=off;20=on,,,R2,,UCH,0=off;20=on,,,R3,,UCH,0=off;20=on,,,R4,,UCH,0=off;20=on,,,R5,,UCH,0=off;20=on,,,R6,,UCH,0=off;20=on,,,R7,,UCH,0=off;20=on,,,R8,,UCH,0=off;20=on,,,R9,,UCH,0=off;20=on,,,R10,,UCH,0=off;20=on,,,R11,,UCH,0=off;20=on,,,R12,,UCH,0=off;20=on,,,Rx,,HEX:2,,,
uw,,Mc1FlowTempDesired,,,,,0200,FTStatus,,onoff,,,,FTDesired,,temp1,,,,MixerStatus,s,onoff,,,,MixerMovement,s,percents,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
uw,,Mc2FlowTempDesired,,,,,0201,FTStatus,,onoff,,,,FTDesired,,temp1,,,,MixerStatus,s,onoff,,,,MixerMovement,s,percents,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
uw,,Mc3FlowTempDesired,,,,,0202,FTStatus,,onoff,,,,FTDesired,,temp1,,,,MixerStatus,s,onoff,,,,MixerMovement,s,percents,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Explanation: when the type of the write messages is changed from w (write) to uw (update write), the respective entitities are autodiscovered in HA and can be monitored (e.g. every write command sent by the regulator to the vr71).
