vcontrol custom Config Problem #116

Description

@RalfKraemer1

Hello,
I have created a configuration for our Viessmann Vitodens 200-T with a Vitotronic 200 (KO2B) control unit.
This allows me to set the party mode and running time for our heating system in heating circuit 2 using a standalone vcontrold device.
I am using a USB adapter as the interface.

I made the following changes to vito.xml:

<command name="getPartyModeM2" protocmd='getaddr'>
  <addr>3303</addr>
  <len>1</len>
  <unit>RT</unit>
  <description>Partybetrieb M2</description>
</command>
<command name="setPartyModeM2" protocmd='setaddr'>
  <addr>3330</addr>
  <len>1</len>
  <unit>RT</unit>
  <description>Partybetrieb SET M2</description>
</command>

<command name="getPartyDauer" protocmd="getaddr">
    <addr>37F2</addr>
    <len>1</len>
    <unit>ST</unit>
    <description>Begrenze Partybetrieb auf 1..12 Stunden. 0 beendet Partybetrieb bei nächster Umschaltung in Normalbetrieb.</description>
</command>
<command name="setPartyDauer" protocmd="setaddr">
    <addr>37F2</addr>
    <len>1</len>
    <unit>ST</unit>
    <description>Begrenze Partybetrieb auf 1..12 Stunden. 0 beendet Partybetrieb bei nächster Umschaltung in Normalbetrieb.</description>
</command>

I then copied this vito.xml file to
/addon_configs/vcontrold
as described in the instructions and launched the Vcontrol add-on.
Unfortunately, the log then shows:

[22:39:53] INFO: �[32mUsing default vito.xml file.
[22:39:53] INFO: �[32mUsing default vcontrold.xml file.

and my commands can't be found.

But if I put the vito.xml file in the directory

addon_configs/01c3c3c7_vcontrold
After copying and restarting, the following appears in the log:
[22:41:44] INFO: �[32mUsing custom vito.xml file.
[22:41:44] INFO: �[32mUsing default vcontrold.xml file.

However, vcontrold no longer starts:

[22:41:44] INFO: �[32mConfiguring command 39: getPartyModeM2 with type FLOAT�[0m
[22:41:44] INFO: �[32mConfiguring command 40: setPartyModeM2 with type FLOAT�[0m

[22:41:44] INFO: �[32mRestarting vlclient_pub service after normal closure�[0m

All modules and plugins are up to date.

However, as soon as I don't connect the adapter locally but use the remote control instead, it works.

That's why I think something isn't working right here.

Thanks for taking care!
