Options

After setting up the integration, you can configure it further in Settings Devices & Services myVAILLANT Configure.

Seconds between updates

Wait interval between updating (most) sensors. The energy data and efficiency sensors are controlled by the next option. Setting this too low can cause "quota exceeded" errors.

You should restart Home Assistant after changing this setting.

Default is 60 seconds.

Seconds between energy data updates

Wait interval between updating sensors with hourly data. The energy data and efficiency sensors have a fixed hourly interval. Setting this too low can cause "quota exceeded" errors.

You should restart Home Assistant after changing this setting.

Default is 3600 seconds.

Delay in seconds before refreshing data after updates

How long to wait between making a request (i.e. setting target temperature) and refreshing data. The Vaillant API takes some time to return the updated values. Setting this too low will return the old values.

Default is 5 seconds.

Default duration in hours for quick veto

When setting the temperature with the climate controls, the integration uses the "quick veto" feature of the myVAILLANT app by default.

With this option you can set for how long the temperature should stay set, before returning to the default value.

Default is 3 hours.

Default duration in days for away mode

When the away mode preset is activated, this duration is used to for the end date.

Default is 365 days.

Default temperature setpoint for away mode

When away mode is activated without a temperature (for example with the away mode switch), this value is set for all zones.

Default is 10.0°C.

Temperature controls overwrite time program instead of setting quick veto

When raising or lowering the desired temperature in the myVAILLANT app, it sets a quick veto mode for a limited time with that new temperature, if the zone is in time controlled mode. If you want to permanently change the desired temperature, you need to update the time schedule.

By default, this integration has the same behavior. But when enabling this option, the Home Assistant climate controls instead overwrite the temperatures set in the time schedule with the new value.

Default is off.

Note

If quick veto is active, the climate controls will always set the quick veto temperature.

Fetch real-time statistics (not supported on every system)

Fetches real-time statistics from the system. This includes on/off cycles and operation time. if you see 404 errors in your logs after enabling this, your system doesn't support this data. It's best to turn it off again.

Default is off.

Fetch real-time power usage (not supported on every system)

Fetches real-time power usage of the system. if you see 404 errors in your logs after enabling this, your system doesn't support this data. It's best to turn it off again.

Default is off.

Country

The country you registered your myVAILLANT account in. The list of options is limited to known supported countries.

Brand

Brand of your HVAC equipment and app, pick Saunier Duval if you use the MiGo Link app.

Known Issues

Lack of Test Data for Different Systems

Your HVAC system might differ from the ones in Tested Setups above. If you don't see any entities, or get an error during setup, please check Debugging and create an issue. With debugging enabled, there's a chance to find the culprit in the data returned by the myVAILLANT API and fix it.

Vaillant API is occasionally unavailable

The API this integration uses sometimes goes down. Before reporting an issue, check if the myVAILLANT app works normally. If it doesn't, there's nothing we can do about it.

Some features that are available on the controller or in the maintenance settings are not available

If you would like to request a new feature, please check that it's available in the myVAILLANT app first. Some data (for example quiet mode or legionella protection) are not available in the app, and therefore can't be supported by this integration.

The modes in Home Assistant and the myVAILLANT app don't match

Home Assistant has certain pre-defined modes, that can't be changed. Check the mapping of modes between Home Assistant and myVAILLANT.

Energy & Efficiency Sensors are delayed / incomplete / behave oddly around midnight

How Vaillant reports energy data, and how Home Assistant deals with sensor data is not a good match:

  • Vaillant's API provides energy data in hourly increments, some time after the full hour has passed (let's say at 10:30am for the energy data from 9-10am)
  • This integration fetches energy data every hour, for the current day, up to the current time
    • Depending on when your HA schedules this hourly update, it may happen right after Vaillant provides the new hourly data, or almost an hour later
    • Home Assistant doesn't support setting a past date for a sensor reading, the value is always displayed at the time when it was saved
    • Home Assistant also doesn't let you pick when to schedule the hourly update exactly, it depends on when the integration was initialized
    • Data for the whole day is fetched, so that the total is correct even if the API is temporarily unavailable, or the integration misses an hour window for some other reason
  • Worst case, you end up with a 30min delay from Vaillant and a 59min delay from the integration: Your energy data from 9-10am will show up at 11:29am. Best case is probably around 10:30am.
  • After midnight, the integration will fetch data for the new day, which will be empty until the first full hour + delay has passed
    • If you have new energy data between 11pm and midnight, it won't show up in your total for the previous day

Home Assistant would need to allow setting a timestamp with each new energy value, to improve this situation. The delay would still be there, but at least the values would be displayed at the correct time.

You can lower the update interval for fetching energy data, to minimize the delay between Vaillant's updates and HA. See Options. But it's not recommended, since it's a lot of data to fetch and Vaillant may ban you temporarily with 'quota exceeded' errors.

To fix data loss around midnight, the integration could fetch a longer period of time (for example a whole month). But then the sensor would no longer show a daily total, which would potentially mess with users' setups. The change from daily to monthly would also show up as a strange spike of energy usage when the update is done.
