Hello everyone, I wanted to share my recent success in integrating my Aldes heating pump with Homey. This journey was filled with challenges, but the outcome has been truly rewarding. 
For those who might be in the same situation, I faced issues with the native integration not providing the full functionality I needed. The heating pump wasn’t responding as expected, and I was constantly battling with delays and unreliable status updates. Frustrated but determined, I decided to take matters into my own hands.
I stumbled upon a method using Homeyscript that allowed me to create a virtual thermostat and achieve reliable state feedback. The process involved several steps, including retrieving technical IDs, setting up scripts for sending commands and reading statuses, and creating flows to handle automation. It was a steep learning curve, but the satisfaction of seeing everything work seamlessly was worth every moment of effort.
One of the key challenges was ensuring that the system could handle real-time updates without lag. I discovered that adding delays in the flows was crucial to allow the system to process the new data before sending notifications. This small tweak made a huge difference in the overall functionality.
Now, I can remotely control my heating system, set temperatures, and receive accurate status updates—all from the comfort of my smartphone. The ability to monitor and adjust settings on the go has completely transformed how I manage my home’s heating system.
I wanted to document my journey in detail, including scripts and step-by-step guides, to help others who might be facing similar challenges. It’s my hope that this solution can save someone the time and frustration I experienced.
If you’re dealing with integration issues or looking to enhance your Homey setup, I encourage you to explore the possibilities with Homeyscript. It’s a powerful tool that can unlock a world of customization and functionality. Happy tinkering!
