This repository contains the a class that you can use in your Google Apps Script to control your ICY e-thermostat. This thermostat was also rebranded as the "Essent e-thermostaat".
The ICY Web API has three methods:
| URI | Method | Description |
|---|---|---|
| login | POST | Retrieve a session-token and uid using your credentials. |
| data | GET | Get the current status like actual temperature, desired temperature, last seen, etc. |
| data | POST | Set a value (specifically the desired temperature). |
If you want to try it out, please download and install Postman and import icy.postman_collection.json.
(Replace the values your_username and your_password with your credentials).
The file Icy.gs contains the "class" Thermostat.
You can construct an instance with your credentials.
Its main functions are getData() and setTemperature(temp).
The class will use your credentials to refresh the session-token and uid if necessary.
If that fails it will give up.
The functions testGetData and testSetTemperature in file Main.gs demonstrate how you can use this class to get and set the temperature.
Google Docs have Properties. You can view and edit them by going to the Script Editor (File / Project Properties).
The class stores the session-token and uid in the Project's Script Properties, so that it can recycle these values even between multiple instances of the class.
Main.gs also contains a function called logCurrentSituation.
It gets the current data from the thermostat and adds it to a sheet called "Log".
In order to set this up you need a Sheet called "Log" that is G-columns wide and 1 row tall:
| timestamp | uid | first-seen | last-seen | device-status | temperature1 | temperature2 |
|---|
(Remove the remaining rows and columns).
(Feel free to rename the columns).
Then in the Script Editor click "Current Project Triggers", add a new one (I suggest timebased, every 15 minutes) and call logCurrentSituation.
The sheet "Log" will now keep a log of your thermostat.
