climate.luxtronik2_domestic_water show operation while defrosting

[augi]

Hi, it looks like the climate.luxtronik2_domestic_water shows operational status when the heat pump is defrosting.

Maybe we should remove LUX_STATUS_DEFROST from this line 🤔

If the heat pump runs longer when the outside temperature is low, it will defrost again and again. However, this does not end the process of heating the water or heating.
So I think a service domestic water progress should also be displayed during defrost.

[augi]

But look at the image - there are bars even when the heat pump is not preparing the domestic water. There is a defrost but as part of heating.

[BenPru]

Okay, that means both thermostats has _attr_hvac_mode != HVAC_MODE_OFF.
The last operation was heating or domestic water and then the operation changes to defrost both thermostats shows a progress?
Then we have to cache the last luxtronik state to show the correct hvac_state in the thermostat...

[augi]

Yes, it looks like that, so caching would be required if you want to keep heating/domestic water while actually defrosting.

I can confirm the behavior now. There was defrosting during heating and:

• Heating heating is without any interruption, so heating was marked as operating during defrosting. This is OK for me although technically incorrect.
• Domestic water heating was marked as operating during the defrosting. This is definitely wrong.

Hope this helps with the issue resolving 🙏

I also noticed that when the heat pump is running for domestic water, it also shows as "active" in the heating thermostat graph.

Have a look at the graph below, is this where you observe the problem?
If I understand your observation correctly, I don't see this behavior: heating is only shown when the heatpump status is heating, and not when status = domestic water.

Can you create a similar graph, and/or given some other information that could help to understand why you observe this and I don't?

[augi]

You are sharing a screenshot from climate.luxtronik2_heating but I'm sharing screenshot from climate.luxtronik2_domestic_water.

What I'm reporting are the thin orange bars that should be there. The occurrence correlates with defrosting.

[augi]

What is also IMHO technically incorrect is that the orange value is reporting heating while defrosting is in progress. I would expect a short gap there.

I understood that 😃
My remark was not about the "defrosting problem".
My remark was about this comment by @Kars-de-Jong : "I also noticed that when the heat pump is running for domestic water, it also shows as "active" in the heating thermostat graph."

Your graph is weird, as you are showing both the heating thermostat, domestic water thermostat and heat pump status, so there should have been an orange area when running for domestic water as well...

This is my combined graph. The darker orange is where both the heating thermostat and domestic water thermostat were showing "heating":

This is only the heating thermostat:

And this is only the domestic water thermostat:

So, it's showing "heating" in the heating thermostat while running for domestic water.

I’m not seeing my issue anymore with version 2022.12.03.

[augi]

I can still see the status of domestic water being reported when defrosting.

[BenPru]

I can still see the status of domestic water being reported when defrosting.

So far this has not been fixed.
I have now included a change as a potential solution and provided it as pre-release 2022.12.04. You're welcome to test it.

Hi, I can confirm it fixed my issue, thanks! 👍
