Orcon id

[har]

Hello
I have an Orcon venting unit with a remote that uses 868Mz.
I have een wemos von Enri (https://enri.nl/pcb/?page=itho)
The unit works partly:


30495940: ITHO: Received from ID: 48,0,e9 ; raw cmd: 0
30498730: ITHO: Received from ID: 82,4,72 ; raw cmd: 0
30500715: ITHO: Received from ID: 61,42,d0 ; raw cmd: 0
30503495: ITHO: Received from ID: 76,86,db ; raw cmd: 6
30507484: ITHO: Received from ID: 5a,59,25 ; raw cmd: 0
30508647: ITHO: Received from ID: 77,66,e0 ; raw cmd: 0

The line that ends with cmd 6 is a send signal from the remote. It has always the same ID. The unit sends info back with every time another ID.

The info on the divice it not clear to me.
There are: Unit ID remote 1 til 3. The number entered her are shown in the log when the esp sends a command.
There is also Device ID byte 1 til 3 with the remark: Note: For Orcon: This is the destination ID a.k.a. the ID of the Ventilation unit.
What has to be filled in here?
What can be the cause for the randon Id numbers the the esp recieves?

If this does not work i will go for the solution off Ronald: https://vdbrink.github.io/esphome/orcon ... ation.html

best regards,
Har

AFAIK, the ID for the ventilation unit should be documented on, or inside, the ventilation device, or possibly in the manual that came with it. It should consist of 3 hex bytes, similar to your logs, that have to be set in the configuration, just like you described. When configured for Orcon mode, that will be the destination address for the commands, the sender ID seems to be generated randomly in Orcon mode.
The Orcon protocol is different from the Itho protocol, but shares the technical parameters, that's why it is combined in the same plugin (it was added by github user nl0pvm, and I manually merged his work into the plugin), so conserve some space in the binary.

I've adjusted this plugin to work reliably and non-blocking with ESPEasy, as I own a supported Itho ventilation unit, but I don't own an Orcon unit, so unfortunately I can't test it myself. As far as I remember, Github user One35SEven confirmed it working successfully.

Hello,
Thanks for the quick response.
The unit has a label with some numbers:

h07s14
22018231
001782
2245
7766E0

The Id in the divece setting has to be only numbers. Letters are not allowed.
The only number 001782 does not change the logging.
Do I need an other version of the bin file? I have the latest version flashed.

best regards, Har

Ah, yes, that's a bit silly/confusing in the UI, the input is numeric indeed and has to be converted from hex to decimal to be entered correctly. This was inherited from the original plugin as published in the ESPEasyPluginPlayGround, many years ago.

I *assume* that 77 66 E0 is the ID for your unit, so that should be entered as 119, 102, 224
