    Oh you see, so I have another binary uploaded, the one from kashue from post 70

    I tried deleting the account and re-creating the same thing

    I do not know what boiler you have and what this econet is for, but in the files I also found a different econet server address. 4pellet.pl or something like that.
    And on the econet website (picture in the post about #85) you have green that you have connected to the server?
    The binary from post #96 is the same, only the root password has been changed.
    Econet is really stripped down Linux.

    I have uploaded the soft from post #96, Kostrzewa stove, I set up an account on 4pellet because it's like a portal for Kostrzewa stoves, but I logged in to econet24 with the same data, so it's probably just a redirection and they use the same server.
    On econet24 and 4pellet it showed that the device was blocked and nothing could be done except to change the account details, the phone application worked with basic settings, the preview was important to me and that was enough for me. About 3 or 4 days everything fell, the application closes itself and the website searches for devices and nothing else. As I wrote earlier, after disconnecting econet from the Internet, my driver is displayed on the website in the list of devices, but because it is disconnected, nothing can be done.
    Perhaps they started blocking self-made, I will add that mine appeared as blocked, maybe this is the reason for the block?
    Does anyone have a soft for the 4pellet server, maybe I could try if it would change anything.

    I didn't change anything, that's how it worked for about 2 months, I was hoping that in some time they would unlock it like you did, and now it stopped working overnight, apparently they changed something on the server.

    Hallo to France,
    yerguitariste, looking that you're a friend with Python. Have you also tried another Python app - PyPlumIO 0.2.31 ?

    Hello
    and no, I only tried this application in V0.2.25, but this version already includes PyPlumIO v0.2.31, it is regularly updated.

    https://github.com/denpamusic/homeassistant-plum-ecomax using RS485 or TCP serial gateway, just installed it on ecoMAX810p and it works fine.

    What port (G1 or G2) did you use to connect?
    did you use RS485 -> USB or RS -> Ethernet converter?

    PyPlumIO + HA


    In my opinion, the best solution is a terminal, e.g. IGEL D220, on which HomeAssistant is installed and "Plum ecoMAX pellet boiler regulator integration for Home Assistant" is installed through HACS. Everything works very well, terminal connected to the boiler via USB RS485 converter.

    With my ecomax920 with PyPlumIO fescue software it works great, I haven't tested it with this HA but it should be ok.

    PyPlumIO is a great library, it pretends to be an econet to extract data. In addition to extracting data from the frame, which ecomax throws out by default, it asks ecomax about data and receives them ... I wonder if the guest figured out econet enough or had the opportunity to work at it that he knows how and what to ask ecomax ...
    Btw. In the PyPlumIO documentation there is also a thank you to a colleague here from the topic

    -------

    For people with ecoNet or 4pellets with access to change data. Are you able to change the work from constant to automatic (boiler) from their level?

    I ordered RS485, let's see what will show on ecomax 860-P3.
    RS485 with all...... link

    Connected to module A port G4 (not G1 - there is a display in the oven on it)

    Update 26.12.2022 - these are the parameters, part is from the menu, I hope it will come :)

    Hello.
    I have a question about the converter. The one from the link provided on all ... and the description on the auction looks like the version with the "ch343g" chip, according to the description from the manufacturer's website it should be this one: link .
    Are you sure it's this version? Because in the title of the auction for all .. there is a SKU symbol: 17286 and this is the version with the "fdti" chip.
    I'm asking because I bought a version with the "fdti" chip like this: link , with the chip recommended in the posts above. And I can't connect to the driver.
    Pellux Compact 12kW furnace
    ecoMax 860 P2 controller.
    HA placed on Dell Wyse with linux, specifically on VirtualBox with HAOS and HACS.
    I'm trying to add Plum EcoMax integration and connect via /dev/ttyUSBO (my USB to RS485 converter connected to G4 port on module A)
    and unfortunately I can't establish a connection, I get an alert: "Connection timed out".
    The VPC drivers are in the linux kernel and I can list the converter.
    Previously, I tried with the Elfin EE11 converter, also without success.
    What could I have missed?
    Has anyone managed to integrate in a similar hardware setup?
    I will be grateful for all tips.

    I tried and under G2, also does not connect.
    First, I connected it to G4 because the boiler manufacturer recommends it there in its instructions for Econet 300 (page 4) link.
    Then alternately to G2 and again to G4.
    I connected directly without the "El2adapter", I even changed the D inputs to D-, without result.

    I have the same controller and pellux100 boiler. Connected to g2 with "el2adapter" and econet works.
    You probably want to connect directly without econet.
    I suspect that this is not possible, i.e. econet must be connected and HA or Domoticz directly to the boiler.
    But that's just what I suspect.
    I have to domoticz via econet and lan, I read everything I need, and I left the control or setting on the boiler panel and via econet.

    Yes, I do not have the econet 300 module connected to the controller or the original ecolink.
    I just connected the "USB to RS485" converter to the terminal with HA and then from the A, B- terminals; two wires to the furnace controller and inputs D, D-.
    I'm based on a project with: link and I didn't find the need to use there
    econet 300 module.
    Because I don't have econet 300, hence the request to you.
    When you find a free moment, physically disconnect the econet module from the controller of your furnace and check if current parameter readings will be downloaded to your Domoticz, this will explain whether the presence of econet is necessary.

    110% it will be dead and no readings. For me it's based on python script asking questions via URL and sending answers to mqtt broker. I may not have internet, I don't have to be logged in to econet24, it's enough to have lan and econet

    For me it is like this in all hardware and you need to add as in the second line below after your id (for me /dev/serial/by-id/usb-1a86_USB_Single_Serial_54D2072055-if00), not after ttyACM0:

    ttyACM0
    /dev/serial/by-id/usb-1a86_USB_Single_Serial_54D2072055-if00

    ps. i bought it on FTDI and it works the same, only it sees it as ttyUSB1

    You don't need econet because this library (HA plum ecomax) is based on pyplumIO library (same author) and it pretends to be econet ;)

    in your place, I would first check in linux itself, whatever you have installed, to see if the dell ecomax connection works for you.

    check ls -l /dev/tty* and what you have there, probably something like /dev/ttyUSB0 or maybe /dev/ttyusbserial...etc
    also check dmesg | grep FTDI did the OS detect this converter

    and then give yourself screen /dev/tenadress 115200 and see if you are getting any data, you are receiving something.

    when you see the connection in the system, you already know that it is a problem in Virtualbox, maybe USB sharing is turned off, etc.

    FTDI requires drivers (Linux has them in the kernel), but maybe this HAOS has them disabled...

    edit.
    you wrote USBO above, at the end, and it should be 0 [zero], I hope that only here in the post such an error ;)

    I confirm the stability of operation on the system FTD232 , on CH343 does not read after turning off and on the stove. You need to restart the hardware.

Topic summary

The discussion centers on the ecoNet 300 internet module and the ecoLINK2 interface used for communication with central heating controllers, particularly Plum-manufactured ecomax series boilers. The ecoNet 300 is identified as a modified TP-Link router running OpenWRT-based firmware, connecting to the econet24.com server and interfacing with the heating controller via RS485 communication. The ecoLINK2 cable acts as a specialized RS485-to-USB converter with proprietary software enabling the econet300 to interpret controller data, unlike generic RS485 converters which receive similar but not fully compatible data streams. Communication parameters are typically 115200 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit. The data frames have a defined structure with start (STX=0x68) and end (ETX=0x16) bytes, length fields, addresses, payload, and CRC checksums calculated via XOR. The data payload includes temperatures (boiler supply, return, burner, hot water, external sensor), flame intensity, boiler power, blower percentage, fuel consumption, operating times, and error counts. Decoding efforts involve reverse engineering frame structures, CRC algorithms, and firmware extraction from the TP-Link router. Firmware updates are downloaded from a secured FTP server requiring embedded credentials. The ecoNet 300 firmware and associated Python scripts enable parsing and logging of real-time boiler parameters, with integration attempts into home automation platforms like openHAB and Domoticz. Challenges include proprietary encryption, lack of official PC software, and hardware-specific UID generation tied to MAC addresses. Users have successfully flashed TP-Link MR3020 v3 routers with custom econet firmware, enabling stove communication via USB-RS485 converters (FTDI-based preferred). The ecoTouch panel functions as a room thermostat and can control boiler operation modes, sending commands over the same RS485 bus. Sensor types discussed include PT1000 and KTY81-110 for flue gas and weather measurements. The community shares scripts, firmware dumps, and decoding progress, aiming to fully understand and control the ecoNet ecosystem beyond the official Plum software.
