Welcome to the ithowifi wiki!

To buy visit this page https://www.nrgwatch.nl/ (Dutch) or https://www.tindie.com (English).

This Wiki covers the installation and configuration of the add-on for both the CVE and non-CVE units, integration with home automation software and more.

The add-on covers various use-cases so consider these first before obtaining it.

If you have a supported unit and the right add-on, this allows you to control the Itho devices via the add-on webpage, HTTP API or MQTT.

Note: the add-on hardware and software is the result of reverse engineering and endless hours of testing and debugging. It is not endorsed or supported by Itho Daalderop.

Installation

The add-on hardware and installation steps differs per unit type.

  • Addon for CVE
    This applies to the Itho Daalderop CVE-S and related units.

  • Addon for non-CVE
    This applies to DemandFlow, QualityFlow and HRU-350 and supported WTW units.

  • Addon for WPU Heat Pump
    This uses the non-CVE add-on but applies to Itho Daalderop WPU Heat Pump like 5G. This is today expiremental and is limited to reading status values only.

Remotes and CO2 sensors

Integration

Once the CVE or non-CVE add-on is installed, automation is a logical next step. Use either the Web API or MQTT for the basics.

Guidance for modern home automation systems Home Assistant, Node-RED, HomeBridge and Domoticz is covered here
