Hello Michael,
Thanks for your answer. Having water softener details in the native ViCare app would be a very nice feature, one thing is that ViCare app UX is significantly better than iQua app, another aspect is that having multiple Viessmann devices, all details would be in one place. The most beneficial thing would be having API access to the data that already exists there. The crucial data would be information about current water usage, historical water usage statistics, and salt levels including the number of remaining days to top the salt up. Water usage awareness, analysis, and a notification about high-level water usage over a short period would promote a water-saving attitude, and would also help better understand the correlation between hot water [liter/minute] and gas [m³] consumption. Knowing the current water flow I could also create a notification once the current water flow rate is near the softener limits to do not cause a temporary bypass in the softening process. Additionally, I am also working on integration various household products with smart home systems, my plan would be putting on pause the washing machine/dishwasher/watering garden once the softener is close to its flow rate limits. On top of that, any unexpected water flow measured could also remotely trigger the main water valve close procedure which could minimize home flooding risk.
If such required, I am happy to be a part of the development and be a beta tester 😊
Cheers, Yoseph.
