ultraheat-api

Landis+Gyr Heat Meter Python package

This module reads from the Landys & Gyr Ultraheat heat meter unit and returns the meter values. Note: An (USB) IR reader is needed and connected to the machine running the python script

WARNING: everytime this is called, battery time of the Ultraheat will go down by about 30 minutes! This package has been tested with the Landys & Gyr Ultraheat type UH50 and T550. Other models are likely to work as well (please contact me if you want to help/test with adding support for other models).

Using the python integration as API

import ultraheat_api as hm

# Check available ports
ports = hm.find_ports() 
for p in ports:
    print(p.device)
print(len(ports), 'ports found')

# Read the device from file for integration testing purposes
path = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__))
file_name = os.path.join(path, "tests", "LUGCUH50_dummy.txt")
heat_meter_service = hm.HeatMeterService(hm.FileReader(file_name))
response_data = heat_meter_service.read()

# Read the Ultraheat device
heat_meter_service = hm.HeatMeterService(hm.UltraheatReader(args.port))
response_data = heat_meter_service.read()

print('model :',heat_meter.model)
print('GJ :',heat_meter.heat_usage_gj)  # UH50 
print('MWh :',heat_meter.heat_usage_mwh)  # T550 
print('m3 :',heat_meter.volume_usage_m3)
etc..

Telegram parsing

The telegram that is read from the Heat Meter is parsed as follows. For the UH50 (shown below) GJ is parsed. For the T550 this will be MWh.
