python-itho-wpu
A python library and a set of command line tools to communicate with an Itho WPU.
Hardware installation
See the pislave project
Software installation
-
Install Raspberry Pi OS Lite
-
Install and configure the required software

When executing
convert-itho-db.py
with mdbtools version ...- 0.7.1-6 (Debian Buster) it fails with:
ValueError: the query contains a null character
- 0.9.1-1 (Debian Bullseye) it fails with:

Install python-itho-wpu
git clone https://github.com/pommi/python-itho-wpu.git cd python-itho-wpu
-
Extract
$_parameters_HeatPump.par
from the Itho Service Tool. This is a Microsoft Access database containing details about all WPU versions.- Download it directly:
curl -o HeatPump.par "https://servicetool.blob.core.windows.net/release/Parameters/\$_parameters_HeatPump.par"
- Or download the Itho Service Tool and execute
AzureBootloader.exe
to retrieve the full Itho Service Tool application.$_parameters_HeatPump.par
is located in theParameters
directory. Save it as HeatPump.par in the python-itho-wpu folder.
- Download it directly:
-
Convert the Microsoft Access database to an SQLite datbase. The SQLite database is used by python-itho-wpu.
./convert-itho-db.py --itho-db HeatPump.par
Example usage of python-itho-wpu
-
Get the NodeID of the WPU
# ./itho-wpu.py --action getnodeid ManufacturerGroup: 1, Manufacturer: HCCP, HardwareType: WPU, ProductVersion: 25, ListVersion: 11
-
Get the Serial number of the WPU
# ./itho-wpu.py --action getserial Serial: 408
-
Get the Datalog of the WPU
# ./itho-wpu.py --action getdatalog Buitentemp (°C): 8.0 Boilertemp Onder (°C): 24.23 Boilertemp Boven (°C): 51.68 Verdamper Temp (°C): 19.84 Zuiggas Temp (°C): 21.7 Persgas Temp (°C): 30.22 Vloeistof Temp (°C): 18.67 Temp Naar Bron (°C): 21.09 Temp Uit Bron (°C): 19.75 ...
Exporting measurements
InfluxDB
Assuming InfluxDB is running on the Raspberry Pi as well.
-
Configure a
.envrc
filecat > .envrc <<EOT export INFLUXDB_HOST=127.0.0.1 export INFLUXDB_USERNAME=user export INFLUXDB_PASSWORD=password export INFLUXDB_DATABASE=itho EOT
-
Allow direnv to load environment variables from the .envrc file
direnv allow
-
Execute
itho-wpu.pu
and export to InfluxDB./itho-wpu.py --action getdatalog --export-to-influxdb
-
Alternatively run this in a 5 minute cronjob (the console output is written to
/var/log/itho.log
)cat > /etc/cron.d/itho <<EOT PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin */5 * * * * root cd /root/python-itho-wpu && DIRENV_LOG_FORMAT='' direnv exec . ./itho-wpu.py --action getdatalog --export-to-influxdb >> /var/log/itho.log EOT
Grafana Dashboard
The measurements collected in InfluxDB can be displayed using a Grafana dashboard.
