Hello!   I think exactly the same: We paid for the devices, we are willing to share our data with Viessmann but we must humbly inquire if Viesmann would be so nice to give us access to OUR data and than we are also restricted to a maximum number of calls per day. That is at least absolute unfair.   You use this data for future business plans so it would be fair to give the customers access to their own data.   I can only repeat myself one more time: Give us local APIs by a firmware update -- at least free read access! Just a little Web-Page that shows current status of the system.   You can restrict write access by some kind of password or code and give the user a big warning if it enables write access to the API.    Just my two cents   ...

Hello Adam! I think exactly the same. The data of --MY-- heating system is --MY-- data and I paid a lot of money for the Vitoconnect 100 to get --MY-- data and now Viessmann tells me, I do not get access to --MY-- data as often as I want it. Today I got no data between 15:04 and 18:39 - that is ridiculous - I am very angry about this! And I even do not fetch the data as often as i want. I would like to fetch data every minute and at the moment i fetch data every four minutes only and still got sometimes no data. Maybe we all should disconnect our heating systems from the internet. Maybe this is a good story for a journalist - make this bad and unfair behaviour public I am very p...ed now! Bye, eweri ... Mehr anzeigen

Hello! Same for me - maybe we should disconnect our VitoConnect 100s from the Internet as a protest? ... Mehr anzeigen

Hello Michael! I use the API to read the data into my volkszaehler. Sorry but i can not accept that Viessman would limit access to the data of my heating system.  I give Vissmann my data for free - and lots of other give thier data for free also, so Viessmann could build up "Big Data" and try to find in this data something that is important for Viessmann. Thats okay as long as I get unrestricted access to my data. I bought a Vitoconnect 100, just to find out that I get no data from this device within my LAN - only via iOS-App. That was very disappointing. I want to get --my-- data from --my-- heating system on minutely basis.  So to satisfy my need, i suggest one out of two solutions: 1. Upgrade the firmware of the Vitoconnect 100 for example with a static web-page that presents all parameters with its current value - so I can access the data on a 5th secondly timeframe (if i want to) and your servers do not have to cope with the load that such a timeframe would produce. This solution is independant from any API. Private users use the LAN access and professional users could use the API. Your servers just need to satisfy a few professionals. 2. Install more powerfull servers and create an API that is not so demanding on the hardware. At the end you have more clients that access this API. So a change in that API would generate a lot of unsatisfied customers. I suggest 1 is the better alternative.    I think it is fair to give someone access to its own data on a minutely timebase, because you get that data for free. The users even had paid for a device that gives no benifit to them other than an iOS-App where is no export possible. BTW. i want to know what my heating system is doing now and not what did my heating system one hour or a day ago. Just my two cent. Christoph   ... Mehr anzeigen
