HeishaMon - IoT without the proprietary cloud
Do you have a device installed in your house that has built-in communication, but only through data transfer to the manufacturer's cloud, and then you connect there with your mobile device or computer?
But would you need the data locally, for example for automation along with another device in the house? A typical example is combining photovoltaics with a heat pump for sensible electricity management.
IoT for heat pump, alternative interface without cloud, HeishaMon for Panasonic
HeishaMon = interface from the Netherlands for communication of Panasonic Aquarea heat pumps using MQTT.
For PV systems, integration into Home Assistant on GitHub is usually available, with which you can create a lautomatization - example for Solax.
You get the data from HeishaMon into the Home Assistant system via MQTT and then connect as needed using automations in this environment.
How do you do that?
The original interface, in the case of the Panasonic CZ-TAW1 (pictured left), can be replaced or even supplemented, i.e. operated in parallel with the HeishaMon board (right), which provides data from the CH in the local home network to the user, not only to the service, in full! Other brands can certainly be addressed in a similar way to Panasonic.
The HeishaMon interface connects to the Panasonic Aquarea heat pump in the same way as the original interface and allows proxy functionality if the user wants to have both. Everything is described in detail on the page below. After the physical connection, the data is connected via MQTT to the Home Assistant and the automation is set up there. In addition, the financial cost of the HeishaMon interface is five times less than the Panasonic original.
