Hi all,
I wrote a native Sailfish app to control my Aira Home heat pump. It works on my
own unit, and before going further I’d like a few people with the same kind of
pump to tell me whether it behaves the same on theirs.
What it does today
- home screen: house temperature and room temperature at the top, target with a
5-30 °C slider and a confirmation before sending (per zone) - domestic hot water: current temperature, target, boost on/off
- plant status: outdoor/indoor temperature, operating mode, away / night /
manual mode, inline heater, errors, time of the last reading - an “Other commands” page: away mode, night mode for one hour, force heating,
heating function on/off, legionella cycle, DHW heating on/off, plant check - cover page with the house temperature
Not there yet: cooling (the bridge can do it, the UI can’t), schedules/curves,
firmware info. It is NOT in the Jolla Store: it’s an unofficial client talking
to Aira’s API with your own account, so I’m keeping it out of there.
The catch (please read before volunteering)
Sailfish’s Qt 5.6 cannot speak HTTP/2, and Aira’s API is HTTP/2-only, so the
phone cannot reach the cloud directly. The app therefore talks to a small HTTP
bridge I run on a Linux machine at home (one Python script, a systemd unit,
no database). So you would need:
- a Sailfish phone,
- an Aira heat pump with an account in the Aira app,
- an always-on Linux box on the same LAN (a Raspberry Pi is plenty).
Your credentials stay on your machine: the bridge keeps them in a file only
your user can read and talks to Aira directly. Nothing goes through me, and
please do not send me your login.
What I’d like from testers
- pump model and firmware versions (visible in the Aira app)
- how many heating zones you have (1 or 2), and whether cooling is configured
- which values or commands look wrong, and what the Aira app shows at the same
moment - your country, since Aira may not expose the same fields in every market
Sources, build instructions and the RPM spec are here:
The app builds with sfdk like any Sailfish app; I don’t ship binaries for other
people’s devices, so you’d build it yourself.
Reply here or PM me. Thanks!
