ViCare: Please add Holiday Programm

[hendrik001973]

Holiday Programs

Hi,

Viessmann heating systems offer a holiday mode and an holiday at home mode. The corrseponding data points are available through the API, even in the Basic subscription:

Basic
**heating.circuits.N.operating.programs.holiday**
Shows whether the holiday program is active and the start and end date of the program. Also provides the commands to change the end date and schedule and unschedule the program

Basic
**heating.circuits.N.operating.programs.holidayAtHome**
Shows whether the holidayAtHome program is active and the start and end date of the program. Also provides the commands to change the end date and schedule and unschedule the program

Basic
**heating.operating.programs.holiday**
Shows whether the holiday program is active and the start and end date of the program. Also provides the commands to change the end date and schedule and unschedule the program

Basic
**heating.operating.programs.holidayAtHome**
Shows information related to HolidayAtHome program and provides command to set it. If Holiday and HolidayAtHome are overlapping, holiday at home has priority

However the Vicare integration does not offer these settings. Is it possible to implement them?

Thanks in adavnce
Hendrik

Hey @hendrik001973, yes this is possible. I would likely implement it without the date component as this would be easier.
As my device does not have these modes, would you be willing to test this?

Hey @CFenner,

thanks for the quick reply. Of course, I'm willing to test it for you, when you guide me how to install the components (Never done this before, but I should get it).

The date component is not that important.

Another question: Are the data-points from the Advanced package also in this integration?

Best whishes
