Essent E-thermostat

---

Hello people,

I have a question concerning the control of a thermostat.
We have at home a e-thermostat from Essent.
Now I have done myself a little research and found this script.

<?php
class Thermostat {

function __construct($username, $password){
    $this->username = $username;
    $this->password = $password;
}

function getData($return='token'){
    $url = "https://portal.icy.nl/login";
    $postData = "username=".$this->username."&password=".$this->password;
 
 
    $ch = curl_init();  
 
    curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,$url);
    curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,true);
    curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_HEADER, false); 
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, count($postData));
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postData);    
 
    $output=curl_exec($ch);
 
    curl_close($ch);
    
    $json = json_decode($output);
    return $json->{''.$return.''};
}

function getTemp($temp="temperature2"){
    $token = $this->getData();
      $url = "https://portal.icy.nl/data?username=".$this->username."&password=".$this->password;

      $ch = curl_init();
      
       curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,$url);
       curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,true);
       curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array("Session-token:".$token)); 

      $output = curl_exec($ch);
      curl_close($ch);
      
      $json = json_decode($output);

      return $json->{''.$temp.''};

}

function setTemp($temp){
    $token = $this->getData();
    $uid = $this->getData('serialthermostat1');
    $url = "https://portal.icy.nl/data";
    $postData = "uid=".$uid."&temperature1=".$temp;
 
 
    $ch = curl_init();  
 
    curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,$url);
    curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,true);
    curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_HEADER, false); 
    curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array("Session-token:".$token)); 
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, count($postData));
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postData);    
 
    $output=curl_exec($ch);
 
    curl_close($ch);
    
    $json = json_decode($output);
        if($json->{'status'}->{'code'} == "200"){
            return true;
        }
}

}
?>

And this

<?php
//Start a new class
$Thermostat = new Thermostat(’{gebruikersnaam}’, ‘{wachtwoord}’);

//Main temp? Let op! Links = temperature1, Rechts = temperature2. Standaard staat hij op 1
$Thermostat->getTemp();

//New main temp
$Thermostat->setTemp(’{temperatuur}’);
?>

Is there a way te implent this in pimatic? Or if someone can help me further ahead.

Thanks in advance!

@jordy55 Hi there. Please re-edit your post to get the formatting right for the included source code. See the following post for details. Thanks! http://forum.pimatic.org/topic/1179/how-to-post-code-on-the-forum

As you already have a shell script the easiest will be to get this integrated. Have a look at the ShellSensor of pimatic-shell-execute. Your script simply needs to output the temperature on stdout.

EDIT:
Hint: To simply execute your php script from the command line, add a shebang in the first line of your script and make script executable. This way, you can simply provide the path to script file as part of the ShellSensor config.

#!/usr/bin/php -q
<?php
        ... your script ...

Sorry it is dutch and I have no idea where to begin. I have installed shell execute but I have no idea where to put the scripts and how I can read out the temperature and set a new one in the dashboard of pimatic. If someone can give me a push in the right direction that would be very nice! Sorry but I’m still really a beginner on this kind of stuff.

    function __construct($username, $password){
        $this->username = $username;

        $url = "https://portal.icy.nl/login";
        $postData = "username=".$this->username."&password=".$this->password;
     
     
        $ch = curl_init();  
     
        curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,$url);
        curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,true);
        curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_HEADER, false);

        $uid = $this->getData('serialthermostat1');
        $url = "https://portal.icy.nl/data";
        $postData = "uid=".$uid."&temperature1=".$temp;

Can you please give an example what will be output if you execute the script just calling getTemp()?

Yes I want to get the temperature and set a new one but my thermostat works threw a portal where i have to log in to change it but how do I run this script and get the variables from it?

@jordy55 said:

Well, I think the first step is create two php scripts. One for obtaining the temperature and another one to set the temeperature. The php should be executable from the command line (as I pointed out earlier) and you may need to pass in parameter like user credentials and may be an id for the thermostat if you have multiple. When you’re able to get and set the thermostat whith the two scripts from the command line the next step is to integrate the scripts into pimatic. Let’s focus on the first step for now. Do you think you’re able to do the the necessary changes to create the two scripts? It should not be too hard, I think.

I don’t think it is necessary to use 2 php scripts. Simpy use one php script with different variables.
You do not specify whether you want to use this php script from a webserver or by using php-cli. @mwittig already specified the shebang for using it from the command line.

You could use the $_GET or $_REQUEST[] or the getopt() options in php.
If you do something like myscript.php action=set temp=25 (from php-cli), you could check on

if (($_REQUEST[action]) == 'set') {
  # do something
  if (($_REQUEST[temp]) == '<something>') {
    # do something with that temp. Also check whether it is a correct temp and whether is has been specified at all
   temperatuur = $_REQUEST[temp];
   $Thermostat->setTemp('{temperatuur}');
  }
} elseif (($_REQUEST[action]) == 'read') { 
  # do something else
  $Thermostat->getTemp();
} else {
  # wrong action specified or nothing at all specified
  echo "some explaining message"
}

But I have no idea about your php skills.

Yes, that’s a matter of taste and skills if you like. Thanks for helping out on this one. I leave it up to you now

If you guys still need a method, i can help you out. Im using bash to control the e thermostat. Im using the dummy heating thermostat too.

Let me know, quote me.
