Based on the file pms.csv which looked the most close to the VMS I use (internally labelled "vmd")

Only the temperature sensors, solar pump 1 flow rate and PowerOnCounter are currently supported. There are a lot more to find but that's difficult without any documentation and without any other Vaillant device talking on the bus : my boiler is installed autonomously.

If someone having a good knowledge of Vaillant ebus messages wants to help I can provide various sets of registers values taken a different working phases.

I certainly would like to be able to find the settemp (water temperature target).

Hi
Not sure if i can help here. My VMS8 boiler is connected to an ECoTec via C1/C2 connection so no ebus connection. EcoTec is then connect via ebus to the VR 921 module.

I meant connecting the ebus to the rest of your installation (which is much more than a simple temperature sensor) and disconnecting the c1/c2. That way the vr921 gateway has access to all the parameters shared by the VMS. It's unclear how it would take advantage of it but we might learn a lot by spying on the ebus using ebusd. I'm especially interested to find out the address of the solar yield since my CSV is far from complete to say the least.

Thanks for trying !

keeping the C1/C2 connection or T7 shouldn't make big difference though

Might be. The c1/c2 instruct a heater to heat and run the circulator to warm the boiler, which could interfere with the informations exchanged on the ebus. I would try to remove it but you might get a cold shower of course 😊

Sorry @john30 I'm totally not fluent in German. Beside this, I personally believe that English is the vehicular language when it goes to technical things. I don't really see the added the value of translating to another language since those parameters will be used by a frontend.

translation is missing / it is a great mixture of english in german and vice versa, not really nice
maybe you want to fix that?

I would personally insist on the missing registers that are still to be discovered instead of arguing about not translated strings in a backend-oriented software. What about the missing Farsi translation btw ? That’s not a good way to encourage people contributing.
