Internet module ecoNet 300 and ecoLINK2

Mr3020 is TpLink and plum does not use the modbus protocol.

In general you can connect any rs485 converter, it is a matter of software and knowing the protocol which plum has not published anywhere. Some people using reverse engineering have done this.

Hi, does anyone know if the EcoMAXX800 R2 controller is compatible with ecoNet300?
I'm asking because I've embraced an EcoNeta300 clone on an MR3020 V3.2. I've connected it to the local network and it works cool and over LAN and over WiFi, but unfortunately it doesn't generate the correct UID. On the EcoNeta configuration page in the browser on the PC it shows a UID of only 4 characters, above the ID of 6 characters and that's it. In the control panel next to the controller in the information there are two tabs with information about the status of the connection to the network and to the PLUMa server, but there is no UID anywhere.
I have the converter on the FTDI FT232RL. The LEDs on the MR3020 are on.
I have the software in EcoNet300 with 3.2.3875
Software versions:
Panel V.01.20.22.A1
Module A V.01.31.23.G1
I have the adapter plugged into D and D- on the G1 connector, where the panel is.

"IS APPLICABLE TO THE CONTROLLER:
 boiler, series: ecoMAX800 (excluding ecoMAX800R1,T1), ecoMAX850, ecoMAX860, ecoMAX910/920
 solar heaters: ecoSOL301/400
 heat pumps, series: ecoTRONIC100/200
 ventilation, series: ecoVENT"

Yes, I know, I have also read the EcoNET300 manual from Plum. In that case, is there any option to update the controller and panel software?

first try swapping the A and B(D+, D-) cables at the econet.

Checked: with reverse connection, there is no communication at all.


and is there anyone on the forum whose EcoMAXX800R2 works with Econet300 and EcoLink2?
I'm wondering if this version of ecomax will generate the UID, I'm running out of ideas already and I've already spent so much time on this that it would be a shame to let it go at this point.
The FTDI adapter is connected fine, this is confirmed by the fact that when I connect the ecomax to the PC via the ftdi adapter the ecoupdater program reads the driver and panel information correctly, I upload the screenshots

Good morning. I made myself an econet clone. I wanted to connect to the cooker and found that I have nowhere to connect it😃. I have a room thermostat connected. Does this mean I need to buy a B module still?

you want them to help you and you sell images for points.

Sorry, I thought it was the file numbering. I have already changed

Edit. okay now i know, i need this EL2adapter yes ?

connect under the G2 socket in parallel with the panel. You will need an RJ11 connector/adapter





Your G2 is in the image of COM

>>21823111
Connect this in parallel to Econet via usb->rs485 to D+ and D-

Or as Slawek described via rj tee

Hello guys,

Thank you for all the info on this thread.

I want to show you a little project I have been working on.
With the help of https://github.com/denpamusic/PyPlumIO and my knowledge as a programmer I made myself a mobile app that controls my Viadrus U22 Ecomomy + Kipi 8 - 36 kW (ecoMAX920P1-K controller).
I used a raspberry pi + usb to rs485 (waveshare) and it works very well. It is still work in progress. I will most likely make it opensource once its finished.

About the Viadrus U22 Economy, I modified it with the air intake on the bottom door then added the pellet burner.
In this way I can change from pellets to wood in 10 minutes by changing the flanges.

>>21833846 beautiful work.

thank you.
here's a very cold start/stop from 35 km away

set the fixed ip to 192.168.0.225, then the same on tftp. wifi on the computer turned off. Unplug the router from the power supply, hold reset. power up in a moment the update comes up and that's it. I couldn't figure it out until Slawek gave me a hint for which I officially thank you. With a different ip setting it would not work.

Does anyone have the original binary for LAZAR?

Hi, and has anyone tried on the libraries from https://github.com/denpamusic/PyPlumIO to make a bridge cheaply ESP32 from MAX485 to MQTT?

The Internet module ecoNet 300 and ecoLINK2 are devices used to connect heating systems, like boilers and heat pumps, to the internet. They allow remote monitoring, control via apps, and integration with smart home systems for energy-efficient management.

Hello,
I try to register the apk econet24. (ecoNet 300)
I put the Controllers UID it's ok, and all my infromations (email, name....).
Any email i use i get a message ''there is already an account using this email''.
I try another email same problem. Does anyone faced that problem with the apk ?
Thank you

I have an old ecoNET 300 on hardware 1.9 (Plum version). I bought it used as "working" but it turns out that it gets into a loop and restarts all the time. I am trying to find a .bin version compatible with this hardware. I uploaded the original tp-liknek soft to see if the router works on it, and yes, it works without a problem. Does anyone have a .bin version compatible with the older ecoNETs version 1.9? Is there any chance of resurrecting it yet?

Hello all.
Sorry for writing this in English, but I don't understand any other language besides Portuguese.

I already read all posts from the beginning, and I am unsure about what the firmware for Ecosol is to read the controller 301 of my solar heater.
All that I have installed doesn't show the temperatures for the collectors and other sensors.
~It shows connected to the server, shows the ID, but no info about the sensors.
Can someone point me to the right software and what I am missing?
I know it has to be the firmware for Ecosol.
Thank you all.

Hello.
A year ago I bought a house that had a central heating furnace with a KIPI burner fitted and an ecoMAX 850P2 - C furnace controller. There was a TP-Link router hanging on the cable (original cable) at the controller, but without any Plum markings, so that I don't know if it is the econet 300 original or a regular TP-Link. The login and password for the ecoMax controller was the factory one, ie admin, admin, so I set up my wi-fi and was able to log into the controller locally inside the network. I installed the Plum econet 24 app on my phone but also had a problem such that my device had a locked status. I tried calling Plum and sending emails because I wanted a working device, but without any response from the manufacturer, either by phone or email. Pissed off at Plum, I decided to somehow read the transmission myself, after all I could access the controller via http locally, as I wanted to integrate the ecoMAX 850 into the HA I was installing for myself at home. And I succeeded, I have integrated the furnace controller locally via wi-fi with Home Adjutant and I was able to view the data in real time and control the furnace from the HA locally without internet and without the manufacturer's app, a fantastic thing. But one day the TP-Link died and now I was left with a choice, buy a new econet 300 for £800 or control the appliance by connecting to the RS485 bus. I already have an ESP 32 connected via a Max485 converter to an ecoMAX 850 and I can see some frames, but it's completely different to what I had before and I can see the huge amount of work ahead of me to read what I see on the rs485 bus to restore integration with the HA.
I would very much appreciate any help to shorten my work. Maybe someone has read frames from the rs485.
I for my part can help integrate ecoMAX - with HA, I will show how I solved it. My integration showed all the parameters of the burner, CH, DHW temperature, mixer, feeder, fuel consumption, blower operation, flame sensor, pump operation, everything Plum provides. In addition, I was able to control the furnace, i.e. switch the controller on/off, set the desired temperature of the CH, DHW, mixer and all this locally without the manufacturer's cloud. I'm uploading a couple of pics of what it looks like at my place.

And all you have to do is read this thread from the beginning

Hello.
If you are using Home Assistant, I would suggest checking out the integration to start with.

I use it myself, only my cooker is a Kostrzewa.
Greetings.

Hello. As there’s now a light at the end of the tunnel, here’s a quick post on a topic I still need to fine-tune. I’ve managed to get the Raspberry Pi 3 B+ + FTDI USB-RS485 + Plum ecoMAX 860P6 working together. This allows me to view (for now, at least) what I believe to be all the boiler’s parameters locally, and to set up an MQTT bridge to HA or another broker. As soon as I find some more time, I’ll finish the project and post the results.

>>21928141 I’m keeping my fingers crossed because I could do with it too I wonder if Ecomax will work with other drivers

Hello again. It’s time to publish my ramblings on the Ecomax bridge. The code is based on the Plum.io libraries, so any drivers that work with those libraries should work here too (you’ll just need to make an optional name change in the configuration file). As for the hardware, a standard Raspberry Pi Zero, an OTG adapter and a CH340 should suffice (most of the popular USB/RS485 converters should work, apart from dedicated HATs – those don’t work). As for the control functions, they’re limited to switching the boiler on and off, but they can be expanded fairly easily. The programme was created using Codex and Cursor, so please use it with care, given the damage it could potentially cause. The full manual, including the commands, is included in the package. It would be great if the community could take this little project further.

Subject: ecoMAX 850P2 (+ Module B) - garbage temperature readings after bad SET_PARAM (0x33) writes to out-of-range indices - looking for Module A firmware / recovery advice

Hi everyone,

First off, thanks to this thread and everyone who's contributed to it over
the years - the protocol reverse-engineering here has been incredibly
useful. I've gotten myself into a bit of trouble with my own controller
and would really appreciate any pointers.

SETUP
Plum ecoMAX 850P2-C, Module A + Module B (2 mixer circuits), standard
monochrome control panel (3 buttons, one rotary/encoder - not the touch
panel variant, no SD card slot - just a mini-USB port on the board).
Direct USB-serial connection (bypassing the ecoNET300 WiFi module), 115200 8N1,
standard ecoNET frame protocol (0x68/0x16, XOR CRC).
Versions: Panel 6.30.44.K0, Module A 6.10.37.K1, Module B 1.31.16.
Hydraulics: 3 circulation pumps - boiler/buffer circuit pump, radiator
circuit pump (mixer 1), floor heating circuit pump (mixer 2).

WHAT HAPPENED
While experimenting with the protocol myself, I sent SET_PARAM (frame 0x33)
writes to raw indices 144, 147, 148, 160 - my mistake, I hadn't verified
these against the actual parameter table first. Both my own reconstructed
editable-params table and PyPlumIO independently confirm this controller's
editable-params table only goes up to index 138, so these writes targeted
something outside the documented parameter space.

SYMPTOMS
- Entering the manual control menu now starts the boiler unexpectedly
(shouldn't happen on this controller).
- Active alarm: "max boiler temp exceeded [50C]".
- Panel Info screen + live data show impossible readings.

CONFIRMED DIAGNOSTIC DATA (cross-checked two independent ways: my own
protocol reimplementation reading FRAME_GET_CURRPARAMSCONSTR/REGDATA, and
separately via PyPlumIO - both agree):
- heating_temp = ~2102 C (garbage)
- feeder_temp = -1.76e+38 (raw float garbage, not the normal NaN
"sensor absent" pattern)
- outside_temp = -inf (garbage)
- Everything else looks normal: mixer 1/2 current temps (~19C), buffer
temps (~19C), all relay/output booleans, all 139 editable params (only
2 minor out-of-own-range values, unrelated to the above, likely
pre-existing).

Notably, the corruption is NOT in the 4 indices I wrote to (144/147/148/160)
- it shows up in a completely different part of the protocol (the 0x04xx
regdata sensor block). The write sequence itself was also sloppy on my end
(serial port closed/reopened between each of the 4 writes, no ack/response
ever checked), so I can't even be fully sure all 4 writes landed cleanly.

WHAT I'M HOPING TO FIND
1. Since my panel has no SD card slot (just a mini-USB port on the board),
I believe the update path for this variant is via an ecoLINK2 cable +
PC-side update software rather than the SD-card method. Can anyone
confirm this, and point me to the PC software and a genuine/official
Module A firmware image for v6.10.37.K1 (or a safe version to reflash
with)? Assuming a reflash re-initializes calibration/EEPROM data
cleanly.
2. Whether temperature sensor calibration data is universal per
model/firmware version, or trimmed per physical unit at the factory -
this would tell me whether a straight reflash should fully fix this.
3. Whether anyone recognizes this exact garbage-float pattern (2102C /
-1.76e38 / -inf across 3 sensor channels simultaneously) from a bad
write - i.e. does an out-of-range SET_PARAM on this platform corrupt
adjacent calibration memory?

Happy to share my Python decode scripts (frame protocol + PyPlumIO-based)
if useful to anyone else working on this. Thanks in advance for any help!
