Open3E interface

• Connects E3 boiler (vcal or vdens) controller through CAN UDS or doip
• Read known datapoints
• Listen to commands on mqtt
• Experimental (!) write support (untested)

Requirements

For a fresh Raspberry PI install git, python3 and python-pip first:

sudo apt install git python3 python3-pip  

Now clone this repository to your system:

git clone https://github.com/open3e/open3e.git  

Change into the directory

cd open3e

To install or update dependent packages run:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt  

It's important to do this also after updating open3e to a newer version.

If you get the error "error: externally-managed-environment" you could add --break-system-packages to the preveious command.
(please see: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75608323/how-do-i-solve-error-externally-managed-environment-every-time-i-use-pip-3)

Setup CAN Bus

sudo ip link set can0 up type can bitrate 250000

Depict System

In advance of first time starting the client and after every firmware update, run

python3 Open3E_depictSystem.py

to scan the system and generate devices.json and Open3Edatapoints_678.py files. Use Open3Eclient with cmd line argument -cnfg devices.json afterwards.

The depicting scans take several minutes (usually 10..20) - please be patient!

-mfstr MQTTFORMATSTRING, --mqttformatstring MQTTFORMATSTRING
                        mqtt formatstring e.g. {ecuAddr:03X}_{device}_{didNumber:04d}_{didName}
-muser MQTTUSER:PASSW, --mqttuser MQTTUSER:PASSW
                        mqtt username:password
-tx ECUADDR, --ecuaddr ECUADDR
                        sets the default ECU Address different from 0x680
-cnfg DEVICES.JSON, --config DEVICES.JSON 
                        use multi-ECU configuration file, e.g. `devices.json` created by Open3E_depictSystem
-j, --json              send JSON structure via MQTT
-v, --verbose           verbose info
-l, --listen            mqtt topic to listen for commands, e.g. `open3e/cmnd`
@argsfile               use arguments given in a file. Seperate line for each argument.

...

Write did (experimental)

python3 Open3Eclient.py -c can0 -dev vdens -raw -w 396=D601
-> sets domestic hot water setpoint to 47degC

Publish datapoints to mqtt

python3 Open3Eclient.py -c can0 -dev vcal -r 268,269,271,274,318,1043 -m 192.168.0.5:1883:open3e -t 1
-> will periodically scan datapoints and publish data to broker 192.168.0.5

python3 Open3Eclient.py -c can0 -dev vcal -r 268,269,271,274,318,1043 -m 192.168.0.5:1883:open3e -t 1 -mfstr "{didNumber}_{didName}"
-> will publish with custom identifier format: e.g. open3e/268_FlowTemperatureSensor

Listener mode

python3 Open3Eclient.py -c can0 -dev vcal -m 192.168.0.5:1883:open3e -mfstr "{didNumber}_{didName}" -l open3e/cmnd

will listen for commands on topic open3e/cmnd with payload in json format:
{"mode":"read"|"read-raw"|"read-pure"|"read-all"|"write"|"write-raw", "data":[list of data], "addr":"ECU_addr"}
rem: "addr" is optional, otherwise defaut ECU address used

to read dids 271 and 274:
{"mode": "read", "data":[271,274]}

to read dids 265 and 266 as JSON-objects (even w/o option -json):
{"mode": "read-json", "data":[265,266]}

to read dids 265 and 266 as raw data (even w/o option -raw):
{"mode": "read-raw", "data":[265,266]}

to write value of 21.5 to did 395 and value of 45.0 to did 396:
{"mode": "write", "data":[[395,21.5],[396,45.0]]}

to set frost protect threshold to -9°C in complex did
(A6FF lsb..msb -> 0xFFA6 -> -90 -> -9.0°C; Byte 0 unchanged):
{"mode": "write-raw", "data":[[2855,"01A6FF"]]}

to set frost protect threshold and eco function threshold to -9°C (complex dids):
{"mode": "write-raw", "data":[[2855,"01A6FF"],[2426,"01A6FF000A00"]]}


Option -m is mandatory for this mode.
Options -r, -t, -j, -v may be used in parallel.

Convert list of datapoints to json format

Use

python3 Open3Edids2json.py

to convert common list of datapoints (Open3Edatapoints.py) to json format. A white list of writable datapoints is also created by this tool.
