How to enable functionality as shown in overview picture

[hdok]

Hello all,

I have owned a Toon for about 5 years now, 2 years ago I ended my contract with Eneco and also ended the Toon subscription. Rooting has been on my wish list for some time and finally I rooted my Toon (on version 4.18.8 ) earlier this week and this forum has been a great source of information. I started looking at the (picture) overview of functionality and what I could find myself and what I need a bit of help with. Because not all of it is obvious.

Hopefully people can add to this , I will then edit this post and add new information if it pops up.

This is the list with my comments/summary/findings.

• Manual control of the thermostat.
  Obvious
• Control Toon from a distance(smartphone or tablet)
  The options are:
  * An android toon app (Supports hacked Toon) as described here:android app TOON
  * Download and install X11VNC as described here:Remote control of your Toon through VNC (but not that obvious for a phone)
  * Web proxy to control Toon remotely
  * Controlling Toon via Domoticz
• Power usage today
  I did nothing to enable this, it is just there. But can it be enabled/disabled?
• Gas usage today
  I did nothing to enable this, it is just there. But can it be enabled/disabled?
• Historical power usage in Graphs
• Historical Gas usage in Graphs
  The config file, config_happ_scsync.xml is mentioned here: Useful files explained.
  Use a valid end date and set GasDisplay. ElectricityDisplay (for Graphs etc) and ProductVariant to get all tiles

  Code: Select all

  <EndDate>1627485995</EndDate>
  <ProductVariant>Toon</ProductVariant>
  <ElectricityDisplay>1</ElectricityDisplay><GasDisplay>1</GasDisplay>
  

• Power and Gas costs using actual tarifs
  Not possible at the moment.
• Usage stats compared to estimated usage per year
  Not possible at the moment.
• Compare usage to other Toon users
  Not possible at the moment
• Control other devices from a distance and find energy consumers using smart plugs
  (no comment- did not look into this)
• Connect smokedetectors to toon
  (no comment- did not look into this)
• Sun on Toon
  As described here: ZonOpToon alternative a correct 'meteradapter' (the old meteradapters don't work with ZonopToon)is needed. Next to that you need a kWh meter counting the production and providing the led pulse output. Or you can make something yourself (out of scope of this forum) which provides pulses..
  How to switch on is described in: Useful files explained. In config_happ_scsync.xml change "SolarDisplay" and "SolarActivated" to 1

What I would also like to know (I have not searched the forum for these yet, but once I have done that, I will add the answers I can find myself)
- I see this mentioned: http://<ip-of-your-toon>/happ_thermstat?action=getThermostatInfo. where can I find an overview of apps and possible actions? Which files contain this information
- I see mention of MQTT and that Toon has it onboard already, sounds promising...

[*]Control Toon from a distance(smartphone or tablet)
Not that obvious but I assume the options are:
* Remote control of your Toon through VNC (but not that obvious for a phone)
* Web proxy to control Toon remotely
* Controlling Toon via Domoticz

[*]Sun on Toon
I have solar panels but did not add this option when I was an Eneco customer, now I would like to do so...As described here: ZonOpToon alternative hardware is needed to read the data from the solar panels (Right?). How to switch on is described in: Useful files explained. Change "SolarDisplay" and "SolarActivated" to 1 But that did nothing to my toon, I assume the hardware is needed first?

You need the correct 'meteradapter' (to old meteradapters don't work with ZonopToon). And then youn need a kWh meter counting the production and providing the led pulse output. Or you can make something yourself (out of scope of this forum) which provides pulses. And then indeed enable ZonopToon using those two values. That's it.

Added both to the list Thanks for your reply.

In the process also added the update script as a way for rollback and added the Automatic scroll .

[TheHogNL]

Rollback isn't possible using the script. Sorry
In fact, rollback isn't possible that easy if not impossible.

So it is not possible to set prices for energy?
