# NibeUplink Binding

The NibeUplink binding is used to get "live data" from from Nibe heat pumps without plugging any custom devices into your heat pump. This avoids the risk of losing your warranty. Instead data is retrieved from Nibe Uplink. This binding should in general be compatible with heat pump models that support Nibe Uplink. In general read access is supported for all channels. Write access is only supported for a small subset of channels. Write access will only be available with a paid subscription for "manage" at NibeUplink.

# Supported Things

This binding provides only one thing type: The Nibe heat pump. Create one Nibe heat pump thing per physical heat pump installation available in your home(s). If your setup contains an outdoor unit such as F2030 or F2040 and an indoor unit such as VVM320 this is one installation where the indoor unit is the master that has access to all data produced by the outdoor unit (slave).

# Discovery

Auto-Discovery is not supported, as credentials are necessary to login into NibeUplink.

# Thing Configuration

The syntax for a heat pump thing is:

nibeuplink:<THING TYPE>:<NAME>
  • nibeuplink the binding id, fixed
  • thing type the heatpump thing type
  • name the name of the heatpump (choose any name)

Following models (indoor / main units) are currently supported:

Nibe Model(s) Thing Type Description
VVM310 / 500 vvm310 reduced set of channels based on NibeUplink website
VVM320 / 325 vvm320 reduced set of channels based on NibeUplink website
F730 f730 reduced set of channels based on NibeUplink website
F750 f750 reduced set of channels based on NibeUplink website
F1145 / 1245 f1145 reduced set of channels based on NibeUplink website
F1155 / 1255 f1155 reduced set of channels based on NibeUplink website

The following configuration parameters are available for this thing:

  • user (required)
    username used to login on NibeUplink

  • password (required)
    password used to login on NibeUplink

  • nibeId (required)
    Id of your heatpump in NibeUplink (can be found in the URL after successful login: https://www.nibeuplink.com/System/**<nibeId>>**/Status/Overview)

  • pollingInterval
    interval (seconds) in which values are retrieved from NibeUplink. Setting less than 60 seconds does not make any sense as the heat pump only provides periodic updates to NibeUplink. (default = 60)

  • houseKeepingInterval
    interval (seconds) in which list of "dead channels" (channels that do not return any data or invalid data) should be purged (default = 3600). Usually this settings should not be changed.

# Examples

  • minimum configuration
nibeuplink:vvm320:mynibe [ user="...", password="...", nibeId="..."]
  • with pollingInterval
nibeuplink:vvm320:mynibe[ user="...", password="...", nibeId="...", pollingInterval=... ]
  • multiple heat pumps
nibeuplink:vvm320:home1 [ user="...", password="...", nibeId="..."]
nibeuplink:vvm320:home2  [ user="...", password="...", nibeId="..."]

# Channels

Available channels depend on the specific heatpump model. Following models/channels are currently available:

# Custom Channels

An arbitrary number of custom channels can be added via the UI or using file based configuration. There are three custom channel types available, which allow different scaling of the raw values retrieved from the NIBE API:

  • type-number-unscaled
  • type-number-scale10
  • type-number-scale100

# Full Example

# Thing

nibeuplink:vvm320:mynibe     [ user="nibe@my-domain.de", password="secret123", nibeId="4711", pollingInterval=300] {
   Channels:
        Type type-number-scale10  : 47015 "min supply temp heating"
        Type type-number-unscaled : 48177 "min supply temp cooling"
}

# Items

As the binding supports UoM you might define units in the item's label. An automatic conversion is applied e.g. from °C to °F then. Channels which represent two states (such as on/off) are represented as Switch. Channels which have more than two states are internally represented as number. You need to define a map file which also gives you the opportunity to translate the state into your preferred language.

# Transformations

Please define each state as integer.

0=Eco
1=Norm
2=Lux

# Sitemaps

Please take care of the status channels. If you use selection items an automatic mapping will be applied. If you prefer switch items a mapping must be applied like this:

Switch item=NIBE_HW_MODE mappings=[0="Eco", 1="Norm"]
