Problem with Rheem Econet integration (self.homeassistant)

submitted 1 month ago by chockblock to c/homeassistant

Is anyone else having issues with the Rheem Econet integration? It worked so well for so long but now it spends most of its time disconnected from Econet. It appears to reconnect every few minutes for a bit but it seems like every time I open the home assistant app, my thermostat is not functioning. The actual thermostat in my house is functioning normally and connected to the network.

Do you guys have any suggestions?

Finally getting back to this. I only recently discovered I can use the diagnostics port to try and control it directly. I'm probably going to attempt that but need to get some hardware.

I still don't seem to have any issues with connecting or disconnecting.

I ordered the stuff and setup the ESPHome-Econet solution. It works really well! I actually deleted the Rheem integration just now because the ESPHome solution is so much better. It was cheap and easy to setup too. I spent about $25 US buying the parts from Mouser. (I used an old phone cable, so I didn't have to buy that)
