IVT, Bosch heat pump easy integration, Home Assistant

In search of the optimal solution on how to interface our IVT Heat pump, first try here, I stumbled over a nice integration for Home Assistant(HA). A first quick setup is shown at the right.

The first obstacle was that it was HA which I knew about but never used.  So it was "back too school" and doing a blog post about a HA Core install.

Intro

You need some variant of a HA server installed. You could use the HA core install mentioned above but if you are dedicating a Raspberry Pi(or other hardware) to just run HA I really recommend HA OS installed via the Raspberry Pi installer.

You also must have HACS installed in HA.

Installing

There are nice install instructions and the only comment I have is regarding, using XMPP, the credentials.

In my case the IP module in the heat pump had a label with information

Loginname:    08nnnnnnn            => Serial number of device

Passwort:     nH3N-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx  => Access token(Including the "-")

and for the IVT Anywhere app 

Personal password:    nnnnnnnn     => Password

After the installation is done the "Temperature circle" shown above will appear in "Overview".
